My chin is orange peel and lined. I have paid over £5,00 pounds so far on treatment. I have tried a phenol peel, fibroblast and nothing has helped. Any advice PLEASE...it’s making me very miserable! Thank you in advance

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

​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​

Wrinkles, lines, volume loss, and strong muscle activity of the chin are best treated with a combination of treatments including Botox, Fillers, Chemical Peels, Laser resurfacing, microneedling, etc. A series of treatments will be needed. Make sure you are under the care of an experienced physician. Best wishes.

Hi there,
Thank you for your question! I would recommend Morpheus 8 treatment to help with the orange peel appearance. The Morpheus8 remodels and contours the face and body using a combination of radio-frequency and micro-needles to penetrate the dermis. Penetrating deep into the skin and fat, this morphs the aging face or body into a more desired smooth and sleek appearance, for all skin tones. It is proven to help tighten, firm, and stimulate collagen production, improving all texture concerns.
