Botox and Chin Dimpling
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin for Chin Dimpling
Botox has been around for nearly 70 years. It was not until the 1960s that doctors realized that it could be used to combat the signs of aging. Today, Botox is commonly used to diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles in between eyebrows, around the eyes, and on foreheads. What you might not know is that Botox can also be used to improve the appearance of chin dimpling, creases, and wrinkles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Chin dimpling is commonly caused by a hyperactive mentalis muscle. The increased contracting of the muscle can cause wrinkles and creases to appear in the chin. These can be reduced with the use of neuromodulator injections like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. In some cases, acne can be the cause of chin dimpling. In this instance, facial fillers or a combination of fillers and neuromodulators may be the best treatment.
Injecting Botox into the mentalis muscle stops the transmission of nerve impulses. This stops the muscle from contracting during facial movement, which causes the chin dimpling. By relaxing the muscle and preventing it from contracting, the area smooths out, thus reducing the appearance of the chin dimpling.

The results are dependent on each person as each patient’s body metabolizes the neuromodulator at different rates. From our experience, results using Botox injections normally last up to six months. It is safe for the treatment to be repeated once the results have worn off.
