Botox is great for this, but the effects will only last about 3 months. Dysport is another botulinum toxin that may actually last longer than Botox and some offices probably offer Dysport at a cheaper price than Botox. Good luck!
In select cases, botox can soften a dimpled chin, typically with minimal amount of units.
Chin dimples are caused by action of the muscle mentalis on the skin. Botox works very well by relaxing this ansd by making the chin surface smoother.
Very low dose Botox can be very effective for the undulating effect that can occur on the chin related to mentalis muscle function. If you are more concerned about a line or chin deep groove, use of a filler or volumizing agent may be more appropriate.
Chin dimpling, or “marbled chin” is very effectively treated with 2-3 injections of low-dose botulinum toxin. As with all botulinum treatments, the effects are temporary, but quite effective.
Hi,As others have mentioned, Botox and Dysport can be highly effective in treating chin dimples, provided they are dynamic lines. If the lines do not change with changes in expression, they may be the results of dermal scarring, and could be better treated with injectable fillers. Your best bet is consultation with a physician who is an experienced injector of Botox and fillers. Best of luck!
Botox works well for chin dimples or wrinkling. However, make sure that you are being injected by an experienced injector. Too much Botox around the mouth can lead to abnormal function and look of the mouth and lips. Good luck.
Botox does work very well for those with chin dimples. I would say these are some of the happiest botox patients, because otherwise there is very little that you can do from a cosmetic standpoint to address this concern. Typically, the dosing is less than for other areas of the face, such as the forehead. Of course, this is patient dependent. As an aside, most patients note that they have less tension in their jaw after their treatment.
Botox can relax the chin muscle which usually causes the dimpling. It works very well. If you keep doing it regularly the muscle eventually weakens and you will have very little dimpling.Regards
Know how the skin of an orange is dimpled? That is what doctors call "orange peel" skin. It responds wonderfully to Botox injections.As I'm sure you know, Botox relaxes the muscle into which it is injected. There is a paired muscle in the chin, the mentalis muscle, that allows you to wrinkle your chin, and movement can cause the dimpled chin you have noticed. A few units of Botox in the chin will stop the mentalis muscle from contracting and smooth out the chin. My patients LOVE the results.
