What Causes Bunny Wrinkle Lines?

Several factors cause bunny scrunch lines and nose wrinkles. 

The repeated movement of the facial muscles in the area is usually the leading cause. People that crinkle up their nose when they laugh are more prone to bunny lines. 

As the body naturally ages, the loss of collagen and elastin in the area can make bunny lines appear more pronounced. 

Can You Reduce The Appearance of Bunny Lines?

Yes. There are effective treatments to soften and reduce the signs of bunny scrunch wrinkle lines. 

However, no treatment results are ever permanent, and you will need follow-up treatments to maintain your results.

Oral Commissures Treatment

Oral Commissures

Home   >   Portfolios   >   Wrinkle Treatment

Do you feel that your mouth makes you look sad or upset when you’re not? This is often caused by the appearance of the oral commissures where the upper and lower lips meet at the corners of the mouth. 

Overactive facial muscles and the loss of skin elasticity resulting from ageing can also make oral commissures appear more noticeable. 

Also referred to as marionette lines, they tend to worsen over time, contributing to an angry or sad-looking appearance.

Treating Oral Commissures

Thankfully, there is a treatment available to rejuvenate the appearance of this area, providing a lift that creates more positive contours around the mouth. 

You can restore lost volume and lift sagging skin around the mouth, creating a more youthful and uplifting appearance.

The depressor anguli oris muscles pull down the corners of the mouth when you frown and cause oral commissure lines. 

With repetitive movement over time, these lines become statics and visible with a resting facial expression. 

Who is suitable for Oral Commissures Treatment?

Candidates for this treatment are adults who feel the lines around their mouth make them look sad, angry, or older than they are. 

Age, genetics, and muscle movement patterns all contribute to the appearance of this area. Ideal candidates have marionette lines caused by excess sagging skin, which can be treated effectively with this restorative treatment. 

This treatment is appropriate for most adults, both women and men, in good general health.

What Causes Oral Commissure Lines?

Several factors can contribute to the formation of oral commissure lines. A loss of volume in the cheeks, the effects of gravity, and the ageing process all play a role in causing the corners of the mouth to droop. 

One of the most common causes is the repetitive movement of the depressor anguli oris muscles in the jaw. These muscles run from the corners of the lips down to the chin and are responsible for the down turning of the mouth when you frown. 

Over time, the repetitive use of these muscles can make it appear as though you are frowning even when you have a resting facial expression. 

The ageing process can also make downturned corners of the mouth appear more prominent. This is because the body produces less of the proteins collagen and elastin. These proteins are what makes your skin appear plump and firm. 

Over time, the skin can become less springy and start to sag, making the corners of the mouth appear to droop. 

Certain lifestyle choices can also make the appearance of oral commissure lines appear more severe. For example, smoking and overexposure to the sun’s powerful UV rays can damage the skin and accelerate the ageing process. 

What is the next step?

This restorative treatment is often combined with a cosmetic wrinkle treatment for a more dramatic change in appearance.

Neck Platysma Bands

Neck Platysma Bands

Home   >   Portfolios   >   Wrinkle Treatment

The neck is one of the first places to show visible signs of ageing. The skin is much thinner in this area, and when the platysma muscle begins to tighten with age, prominent lines form at the front of the neck. 

A non-surgical neck lift focuses on the platysma bands, relaxing the muscle to make the vertical bands along the neck become less noticeable. This treatment leaves them with a smoother, elegant neck and a younger-looking lower face.

Who is suitable for Neck Platysma Treatment?

If your platysma bands are prominent, especially when speaking, you may be a good candidate for this treatment. Ideal candidates tend to be under the age of 55 because their skin is more elastic. 

Clients who do not have a lot of excess fat or loose skin on their neck usually experience better results from this treatment. 

If your neck does have excess fat or sagging skin, this treatment may be combined with cosmetic treatments.  Platysmal band treatment can be performed on most men and women who are in good overall health.

What Are the Causes of Neck Bands?

The platysmal bands are two vertical ridges of muscle located on either side of the neck. While most muscles in the body are attached to surrounding ligaments and bones, the platysmal bands are free-floating. When you clench your jaw, these muscles contract and move forward. With repetitive movement over time, neck bands become more visible. 

The loss of skin elasticity can make neck bands appear more noticeable. As the body ages, it produces less collagen, and the skin around the face and neck becomes thinner. This can make neck bands and the bone structure of the lower face appear more prominent.

Do you think your jaw is too wide or heavy? Many people feel their jaw is too large for their face and wish that their face had a ‘V’ shape rather than a square or round appearance.

Some complain that their jaw always looks clenched, even when they are relaxed. 

If you feel that your silhouette would be improved if your jawline were slimmer or softer, a jaw slimming treatment may be right for you.

  • Jaw Slimming Treatment

Treating The Jaw

A large or square jaw appearance is often caused by overly developed masseter (chewing) muscles, which add bulk to the lower jaw. Jaw slimming injections work by weakening the chewing muscles. 

As these muscles relax, a square or heavy lower jawline attains a softer angle. 

Many clients find this treatment makes them look less aggressive or masculine, giving them a softer, more feminine appearance.

Who is Suitable To Have Jawline Slimming Treatment?

At b clinic, you will be assessed by one of our experienced doctors or nurses who will objectively decide whether this will be the best treatment. 

Our honest and conservative practitioners may feel that treating the masseter muscles with may lead to you losing too much of the jawline. 

This change to your face will cause you to lose your defining characteristics. 

Other treatments, such as Ultherapy, can be recommended to achieve the best possible outcome, especially if a client has an excessive fat pad. 

It is paramount that clients understand the importance of being treated by a highly-skilled practitioner that understands the anatomy so that complications like not affecting the smiling muscle or paralysing any adjacent muscles occurs.

 This treatment works particularly well on clients whose masseter muscles have been built up by excessive chewing or grinding at night. 

If you are considering jaw slimming treatments, schedule a consultation visit to determine whether you are a good candidate for this technique.

 

When Will I See Results for Excessive Teeth Grinding?

Treatment results for bruxism are faster than for facial slimming. You can expect to see a noticeable improvement for teeth grinding within 2 weeks of treatment. 

After multiple treatments, the jaw muscle will become less active, and you will require less frequent appointments.

Horizontal Forehead Lines

  • Horizontal forehead lines

Treating Horizontal Forehead Lines

Repeated muscle movements over time cause these horizontal lines. As you raise your eyebrows, lines form. Eventually, the lines become deeper and remain permanently, even when your forehead muscles are relaxed. 

Candidates for this treatment are concerned about their forehead wrinkles. Ideal candidates are searching for a treatment that focuses on the appearance of the forehead. Horizontal line treatments are available for adults of any age. Many clients find this treatment makes them look more relaxed and rejuvenated.

Most adults in good overall health can receive this treatment.

What Causes Horizontal Lines on the Forehead?

Horizontal lines and wrinkles on the forehead are caused by several factors, including repeated muscle movement and ageing of the skin. The frontalis muscle is responsible for the raising of the eyebrows and facial expressions. When you lift your eyebrows, this muscle causes superficial horizontal lines across the forehead. Over time, these lines become more noticeable and visible even with a resting facial expression. 

Ageing of the skin is also a significant contributor to the formation of lines and wrinkles. As the body ages, the skin loses elasticity and volume. The body produces less collagen and elastin, and the effects of gravity and skin laxity cause wrinkles to appear. 

The ageing of the skin can be made worse by sun damage. Excessive exposure to the sun’s powerful UV rays causes the collagen in the skin to break down faster. 

Can You Get Rid Of Forehead Lines?

Yes. Many clients are able to reverse forehead lines. If the wrinkles are set deeper into the skin, you may not be able to eliminate them entirely with one treatment alone. For more severe wrinkles and deep lines, your clinician may recommend combining treatments to achieve your desired results. 

Are There Any Alternative Treatments for Forehead Wrinkles?

If you have deep-set wrinkles caused by volume loss, your practitioner may recommend other non-surgical cosmetic treatments as a part of your treatment plan. 

What’s the next step?

Many clients combine this wrinkle treatment with a restore treatment, which fill in the skin indentation to further smooth the appearance of the forehead. This combination treatment does come with an added cost. To learn more about this treatment and the costs of smoothing horizontal forehead creases, schedule a free consultation today.

Frown Lines

Frown lines are deep vertical creases between your eyebrows. Named because they become more prominent when you frown, many people find that these lines make them look angry or sad.

Who Is Suitable For This Treatment?

If you feel that your frown lines make you look worried or unhappy all the time, a frown line treatment may be right for you. 

This treatment may be performed on adults of any age, though it is more commonly performed on people in their 30’s who have started to notice signs of facial ageing. It is appropriate for most adults in good overall health. Many clients can find this treatment leaves them looking more refreshed as a result.

What Are Frown Lines?

Frown lines are the vertical lines that form between your eyebrows. They are also known as worry lines and Glabellar lines. The contraction of the Procerus and Corrusgators facial muscles causes the vertical lines to form when your frown. 

Located at the top of the nose and lower forehead, these muscles are responsible for various facial expressions. As the skin ages and loses elasticity and collagen, frown lines can become deeper and more prominent. The skin doesn’t bounce back, and frown lines can be visible even with a neutral facial expression. 

What Causes Frown Lines To Form?

The repeated contraction and movement of the lower forehead’s facial muscles is the leading cause of frown lines. When you frown or furrow your brow, it causes vertical folds in the skin. As the body produces less collagen and elastin with age, the skin doesn’t bounce back as it used to, and permanent frown lines form. 

Multiple factors can cause frown lines to be more prominent. Genetics can play a significant role in skin elasticity and the age when you start to see wrinkles and lines begin to appear. 

While you don’t have any say over your genetics, there are certain things that you can do to make frown lines less prominent. Exposure to the sun’s UV rays can cause the skin tissue to break down faster, causing skin concerns like frown lines to appear more quickly. 

Smoking can make frown lines worse by causing premature ageing of the skin by constricting blood vessels and weakening the facial tissue’s elasticity.

How Do You Get Rid Of Frown Lines?

You can improve the appearance of some superficial lines and wrinkles by following a good skincare regime. Topical retinoids and antioxidants can help to tackle superficial wrinkles and thin lines. Using sunscreen protection can help mitigate the harmful effects of the sun’s rays, and wearing sunglasses can stop you from squinting and causing lines to form. 

However, these methods are not effective for deeper static frown lines. To get rid of frown lines, you may need a professional frown line wrinkle treatment to achieve a noticeable improvement. 

 

Can Frown Lines Be Filled?

For most people, wrinkle treatments are the most suitable and effective treatment for frown lines. It can relax the overactive muscles and prevent the creases in the skin from becoming deeper and more noticeable. 

If your frown lines are more severe, your clinician may recommend combining treatments to help stimulate collagen production and restore volume. 

Can You Massage Away Frown Lines?

Unfortunately, you cannot massage away frown lines or forehead wrinkles. The cause of static frown lines is the contraction of the facial muscles and the ageing of the skin. You may find that an OTC cream or serum can soften forehead lines when massaged into the skin, but you can only remove static frown creases and folds through a more intensive cosmetic treatment. 

If you have dynamic fine lines caused by stress, a massage can help you relax your forehead muscles and improve your mood to stop you from frowning.

Treating Crow’s Feet Wrinkles

A treatment for crow’s feet softens existing lines around the eyes. 

It can also prevent new ones from forming by preventing the repeated muscle movements that caused the wrinkles to develop. 

Following this non-surgical treatment, many clients find their outer eye area looks rejuvenated and more youthful.

Who Is Suitable For This Treatment?

Candidates for crow’s feet treatments are unhappy with the lines forming around their eyes. 

Clients undergoing this treatment usually feel that their crow’s feet make them look tired or older than their true age. They tend to be people in their late 20’s and early 30’s who have begun to notice signs of facial ageing, though treatments can be performed on adults of any age. 

This cosmetic procedure is appropriate for most adults who are in good overall health.

 

What Age Do Crow’s Feet Appear?

Most people start to see crow’s feet begin to form in their late 20s and early 30s. As your body ages, collagen and elastin production begins to reduce, and the skin starts to lose its elasticity. This can be particularly noticeable in the delicate skin around your eyes.

Due to the repetitive contraction and movement of the muscles, the eye area is among the first places that fine lines start to form. Lines around your eyes appear when you contract your facial muscles to smile, but these wrinkles develop over time and become visible even when you have a neutral facial expression.  

How Do You Prevent Crow’s Feet?

Crow’s feet appear as part of the natural ageing process, but certain things can help to prevent fine lines from forming and keep you looking younger for longer. 

Certain lifestyle choices can also help to prevent ageing of the skin and improve your overall health. Ensure you get plenty of exercise, eat a diet of healthy fruits and vegetables to protect the skin from free radicals, and avoid excessive alcohol consumption and smoking. 

Use a high SPF sunscreen to prevent sun damage to the skin, and wear sunglasses to avoid squinting during sun exposure. The sun’s powerful UV rays damage and break down the collagen and elastin in the skin tissue and accelerate the ageing process.

A good skincare regime can help to improve the condition of the skin around the eyes. Eye cream and moisturisers containing vitamin C can help to fight free radicals damage to the skin. You can also use eye creams and beauty serums containing collagen as part of your daily skin routine.
