✅ What is it?

• “Bunny lines” are the fine horizontal or diagonal wrinkles that appear on the sides of the nose when you scrunch, smile or flare your nostrils.
• The treatment uses a neuromodulator (like Botox-type injections) to relax the small muscle(s) (e.g., the nasalis) that cause those repeated wrinkles.
• The goal is to smooth the area while maintaining natural expression (i.e., you still scrunch a little but the deep lines reduce or disappear).

⚙️ Procedure overview

• You’ll begin with a consultation: the injector assesses your nose side wrinkles, facial expression patterns, muscle strength, skin quality.
• On treatment day: topical numbing may be applied, then a few injections into the targeted muscle(s) around the nose.
• The actual injection time is very short (often under 15 minutes). gangnamskinandlaser.com+1
• Aftercare: minimal downtime. Usually advised to avoid rubbing the treated area, avoid extreme facial expressions for some hours, avoid heavy exercise/heat for ~24 h.
• When will you see results? Some improvement in 3-7 days, full effect around 2 weeks. Duration: typically ~3-4 months depending on dose, muscle strength, metabolism.

💰 Cost range in Seoul

• Cost varies by clinic, injector experience, number of units needed. In Seoul you’ll see treatments for bunny lines in the ball-park of ₩300,000 to ₩800,000 KRW (~$240–$640 USD) for the region.
• Because this is a smaller area (side of nose) compared to larger treatment zones, the required units may be lower—but don’t assume cheap always equals safe or quality.

🎯 Who is a good candidate?

• Someone who notices the fine lines on the sides of the nose when they smile, scrunch their nose, or make strong expressions.
• Someone with relatively good skin elasticity (i.e., no severe sagging or skin laxity around nose) so that relaxing the muscle will visibly reduce the line.
• Someone comfortable with periodic maintenance (since effect is not permanent).
• Someone seeking a subtle improvement rather than major structural change.

🔍 What to ask / check before proceeding

• What neuromodulator brand is being used (its safety, approval status).
• How many units are proposed, and how it’s calculated (muscle strength, expression).
• The injector’s experience with the nose side / bunny-lines area (injection in that region has nuanced anatomy).
• How many sessions recommended, and what maintenance may look like.
• Aftercare instructions, and what you should/shouldn’t do (e.g., avoid heavy nose scrunching or massage for some hours).
• Ask to see before & after photos of previous patients with similar concerns.
• Confirm cost inclusive of consultation and any follow-up.

📝 Smart tips & cautions

• Because the muscle is relatively small and the skin thinner on the sides of the nose, precision matters more than for some other areas.
• Avoid heavy nose scrunching or pushing on the treated area for ~24-48 hours to let the product settle.
• Beware of very low-cost offers which might use unapproved products or inexperienced injectors.
• Monitor your expression: you want natural movement without freezing the nose side region entirely (which can look unnatural).
• Plan for maintenance: if you like the result, you’ll likely return every ~3-4 months (or slightly longer depending on how your body metabolises the treatment).
