Ellaqua Aesthetics provides specialized treatments for bunny lines in Farmingdale, NY, helping patients smooth away unwanted nasal wrinkles. These fine lines often appear when scrunching the nose or smiling, resulting from repetitive muscle contractions. Our team uses precise techniques to relax these muscles and restore a youthful contour to the mid-face.
These horizontal or diagonal wrinkles form on the bridge and sides of the nose due to the activity of the nasalis muscle. While they are a natural part of facial expression, they can become more pronounced over time even when the face is at rest. This treatment utilizes neuromodulators to temporarily reduce muscle activity in the targeted area.
This non-invasive procedure focuses specifically on the upper portion of the nose to refine the skin’s texture. By relaxing the specific muscles responsible for scrunching, the treatment ensures the skin remains smooth during emotional expressions. It is a quick office-based solution that requires no downtime for the patient.
The specialist begins by observing your facial movements to pinpoint the exact location of the nasalis muscle contractions. This ensures that the product is placed with maximum precision for natural-looking results.
The skin around the bridge of the nose is thoroughly cleansed to maintain a sterile environment. A topical numbing agent may be applied if requested to enhance comfort during the brief session.
