What causes a Dimpled Chin?
A puckered or “orange peel” look usually comes from overactivity of the mentalis muscle, plus reduced collagen/elastin and skin dehydration. Effective care often addresses both the muscle pull and the skin quality/crease for the smoothest outcome.
Common tools we may combine
-
Wrinkle-relaxing injections (POM; consultation required) to reduce mentalis overactivity
-
Hyaluronic acid micro-filler for a pronounced mental crease or to support the chin pad
-
Skin boosters / Profhilo to hydrate and improve elasticity
-
Microneedling / Polynucleotides to refine texture and support collagen
-
Chin filler (projection/balance) where anatomy benefits
(Your doctor will recommend the safest, most suitable combination.)

Frequently Asked Questions
Duration & Longevity
Optimum results will be experienced within two weeks following the treatment. Botox on average lasts around 3-4 months after which the muscles resume their normal activity.
Downtime
There is no downtime needed and can return to normal activities. You may have small raised blebs on the skin but these settle within 30 mins. Common side effects are slight bruising, mild headache/tenderness in the injection sites but this is all temporary. Post treatment- stay upright for 4-6hours so that botox doesn’t migrate and no facials/massages for 2 weeks.
Common misconceptions
Clients often become concerned with botox and the ‘frozen’ look. I will adjust the dosing appropriate for the type of look the client wants.
Botox treatment is best done preventatively and the most people assume botox should be done when the lines are present at rest. It’s best to start earlier before the lines on the forehead become fixed at rest in order to maintain a smoother youthful appearing skin.
