Are you bothered by a visible chin hole or an 'orange peel' structure of the chin? With a targeted treatment with botulinum toxin the chin can be subtly softened, making the surface appear smoother and calmer.
At Xavier Clinics we perform this treatment with a very precise and low dosage, so that the natural facial expression is preserved and the chin looks softer without changing volume.
What is a chin dimple?
A chin dimple is usually caused by overactivity of the mentalis muscle. When this muscle contracts too strongly, the skin of the chin can:
-
Showing a dimple or hole
-
Getting an 'orange peel' texture
-
Looking tense or restless
-
Make the profile appear less tight
This can be visible both at rest and when speaking or laughing.
How does botulinum toxin work for a chin dimple?
By injecting a small amount of botulinum toxin into the mentalis muscle:
-
Relaxes the muscle
-
The skin becomes smoother
-
Reduces pit formation
-
Makes the chin look softer and smoother
The treatment does not change the shape of the chin, but improves the skin structure and appearance.
