Dimpled Chin

Dimpled Chin (Pebble Chin) Treatment

A dimpled chin, often called "pebble chin" or peau d'orange (orange peel skin), occurs when the chin muscle over-contracts, creating a bumpy or pitted appearance. At The Foreveryou Aesthetics Clinic, we use targeted anti-wrinkle injections to relax this muscle, resulting in a smooth, contoured, and more youthful chin profile.

This treatment is a simple yet effective way to refine the lower face and prevent deep lines from forming in the chin area.

What Causes a Dimpled Chin?

The primary culprit is the Mentalis muscle. This is the muscle responsible for lifting the chin and lower lip (often used when pouting or expressing deep thought).

• Muscle Hyperactivity: In many people, the mentalis muscle is overactive or "tight," constantly pulling on the skin even when the face is at rest.

• Volume Loss: As we age, loss of fat and bone in the chin area can make the muscle contractions more visible, leading to a "cobblestone" texture.

How the Treatment Works

Using a very fine needle, Laura Nassa administers a small, precise dose of Botulinum Toxin into the chin.

• Smoothing: The Botox relaxes the mentalis muscle, stopping it from bunching up the overlying skin.

• Elongating: By relaxing the upward pull, the chin can often drop slightly, creating a more balanced and elongated facial shape.

• Preventative: Regular treatment prevents the "creases" in the chin from becoming permanent, deep-set wrinkles.

Key Benefits

• Smooth Texture: Eliminates the "golf ball" or "pebble" appearance for a sleek chin surface.

• Refined Profile: Enhances the projection of the chin, which can improve the look of the jawline.

• Non-Surgical: A fast, 5-minute procedure with no downtime and minimal discomfort.

• Softens Marionette Lines: Relaxing the chin can sometimes reduce the tension that contributes to lines around the mouth.
