Botox for Wrinkles Above my Nose?

Neuromodulators (such as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau), lasers, microneedling/PRP, and fillers work very well in combination to improve nose creases / bunny lines and can give long-term results. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer​

Botox works great for lines on the nose and between the eyebrows. The lines on the nose are called the "bunny lines", and the lines between the brows are often referred to as "the 11's). This area of treatment is called the glabella. Typically, it takes 20 to 25 units to treat the glabella, and only 2 to 5 units to treat the "bunny lines". It can all be done at the same time, and can give really fabulous results. I recommend starting botox treatments as soon as your wrinkles become "static" - meaning when you start to see them when your face is at rest.

There are 2 types of lines patients generally notice around their nose.
First, are the vertical lines that occur in between the eyebrows above the bridge of the nose, sometimes referred to as the “Angry 11’s.” This area is technically called the glabella, and these lines are caused by the action of the corrugators muscles, which serve to pull the eyebrows towards each other and down towards the nose, giving an angry or stern look.
The second type of lines occur on the bridge of the nose and run in a horizontal direction. These are commonly known as “Bunny Lines” and are seen when someone scrunches up their nose or in some people with a strong smile.
Both of these types of lines are treatable with Botox and generally respond very well if your surgeon confirms those lines are cause by one of these muscle groups.
