Bunny lines are the little creases that are present on the side of the nose if you scrunch up your face in disgust at something. These are dynamic lines, much like frown lines or crow’s feet, which are created when we make expressions with our faces. Continued action can mean that dynamic lines are also visible as fine wrinkles on the skin even when our face it at rest. Bunny lines can be reduced with non-surgical treatments.
