What can be done to get rid of skin dimpling in my chin area? (Photo)

Question

The texture of my skin around my chin area is not smooth at all and has the appearance of lots of small bumps. Is there anything I can do to change skin texture or smooth out the skin in this area?

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Treatment for chin dimpling ("pebble chin" or "orange peel") is Botox injected into the mentalis muscle. This typically gives great improvement to the appearance of the chin. Results take about 1 to 2 weeks. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Chin dimpling and texture issues can be improved with a combination of Botox, Fillers, Microneedling, and Lasers. Make sure you see an experienced physician provider for an in-person consultation and evaluation. Best wishes.

Many thanks for your question. 
Chin dimpling can be treated with a variety of methods but you may need a combination of treatments. These treatments include Botox, Fillers, microneedling and laser skin resurfacing. Cosmeceutical skin care products with retinol would also be beneficial. 
Please see a qualified person for further assessment and treatment. Good luck.
