Who Is It For?
A dimpled or "orange peel" chin occurs due to overactive muscles in the lower face, creating a textured, uneven appearance.
This treatment is ideal for individuals who:
-
Notice puckering or dimpling in the chin area, especially when talking or moving their mouth.
-
Have a naturally prominent or textured chin and want a smoother look.
-
Want to soften deep creases or lines in the chin area.
-
Prefer a non-surgical solution to enhance the lower face.
-
Desire a more balanced, youthful facial profile.
Dimpled chin treatment helps to smooth out the skin, relax the underlying muscles, and create a softer, more refined appearance while maintaining natural facial expressions.
How It Works
Dimpled chin treatment involves botulinum toxin injections, which work by relaxing the mentalis muscle in the chin. This prevents excessive contractions that cause puckering, dimpling, or an uneven texture.
✔ Relaxes the overactive chin muscle, smoothing out the skin.
✔ Softens deep creases & dimples, reducing the "orange peel" effect.
✔ Enhances chin contours, creating a more balanced lower face.
✔ Quick & non-invasive, with no downtime.
✔ Maintains natural movement, ensuring a subtle and refined result.
For patients with deep chin creases or volume loss, dermal fillers may be combined with Botox to further enhance the smoothness and shape of the chin.
