A dimple skin, also known as an orange peel chin, or strawberry chin, is a cosmetic problem affecting the chin. The skin on the dimple skin looks uneven, bumpy and with a relief surface. The cause lies in the contraction of an overly active chin muscle (mentalis muscle). It draws the skin into a wavy or raised texture that is prominent on the chin. In severe cases, this texture can seriously affect the appearance of the face.
The chin muscle is a small but important muscle in the lower part of the face. It is responsible for the movement of the chin and lower lip. In some people, this muscle is particularly active, which can lead to a stronger contraction and thus to a pronounced dimple skin. Often, the muscle also forms an annoying wrinkle on the chin that runs parallel to the lower lip. This is called a horizontal chin wrinkle or a horizontal groove on the chin.
Botox, or botulinum toxin, is a popular choice for correcting a retracted chin and improving the contour of the face. This treatment targets the active muscles in the chin area to reduce deep wrinkles and provide natural results.
A dimple skin can occur for various reasons. Genetic predisposition may play a role, as can increased activity of the chin muscle or the aging process. The elasticity of the skin decreases over time, and facial muscles also change. In addition, more and more fat is lost over the years. All of these factors can cause the skin on the chin to appear less firm and a dimpled skin to become prominent.
A botox treatment in the chin area can help reduce chin pits, which often cause orange peel. The result of botox in the chin is often immediately visible, making the skin smoother and the contours better defined.
With Botox The treatment with Botulinum toxin is very effective in soothing dimpled skin. In this specific application, the toxin is injected directly into the chin muscle to reduce excessive muscle activity. This results in muscle relaxation, which visibly smoothes out the uneven skin texture on the chin.
A filler treatment is often used in chin correction treatment. Fillers can help improve a retracted lower jaw and provide a better facial ratio. The treatment is performed with a fine needle and causes minimal swelling or bruising.
The Botox dimpled skin treatment is particularly suitable for people who suffer from uneven skin texture that causes an inharmonious smile. The treatment can be performed on both younger and older patients, regardless of whether the dimpled skin is caused by genetic factors or the aging process. The Botox dimple skin treatment offers a quick and effective solution to improve the appearance of the chin. It can be performed as a stand-alone treatment or in combination with other cosmetic procedures to achieve the desired results.
For example, treatment can be supplemented by addressing wrinkles in the lower facial area to achieve a comprehensive and satisfactory result. At Aēstec, we often use hyaluronic acid to address an annoying horizontal wrinkle on the chin parallel to the lower lip, often accompanied by a dimpled skin or even a pronounced chin pit. Combined with the Botox treatment of the chin muscle, this approach usually leads to good results.
Only 2 injections are needed, the botox is injected directly into the chin muscle with a fine needle. The injections are relatively painless and only take a few seconds.
Fast results: The relaxing effects of Botox usually become noticeable within a few days, making it a much faster treatment option compared to other methods.
During the first consultation with the cosmetic doctor, a personal treatment plan will be drawn up. This plan is tailored to your needs and expectations and ensures optimal results. The advice of the treating doctor is essential to determine whether a treatment with botox or fillers is most appropriate for your situation.
Botox (botulinum toxin) is a neuromodulator. This medicine causes the nerve signals to block and thereby relax your facial muscles. Botox thus reduces lines or wrinkles.
Overall, the results of botox remain visible for 3 to 5 months. Over time, the body metabolizes the drug, causing muscle movements again. When you maintain botox treatments, the results often last for a longer period of time.
This varies from person to person, but it usually takes about 3 to 5 days to see the effects of Botox. In some cases, it can even take up to 2 weeks before the optimal result is visible. That is why we always recommend waiting for the result to prevent too much botox from being used.
