Chin Dimples
Chin dimples, or creases in the chin area, are often caused by overactive muscle movement, leading to a textured or uneven appearance.Specialist treatments can help relax the underlying muscle and smooth the surface of the skin, restoring a softer, more refined chin contour.

The chin plays a crucial role in overall facial balance and harmony, contributing to a well-defined and youthful appearance. Some individuals experience chin dimpling or an uneven, pebbled texture, commonly referred to as an “orange peel” chin. This condition is caused by the overactivity of the Mentalis muscle, which controls the movement of the lower chin and contributes to wrinkling and dimpling when speaking, eating, or expressing emotion.
At Haus of Ästhetik, we offer botulinum toxin (commonly known as Botox®) injections to smooth out chin dimpling, relax the Mentalis muscle, and create a more refined, even-textured chin appearance. This non-surgical treatment is a simple yet highly effective solution for reducing dimpling, improving chin contour, and enhancing facial aesthetics.


How Does the Treatment Work?
The Mentalis muscle, located in the center of the chin, is responsible for elevating the lower lip and assisting in facial expressions. When this muscle is overactive or contracts excessively, it can create a textured, dimpled, or puckered appearance in the chin.
By injecting botulinum toxin into the Mentalis muscle, we can:
• Relax the muscle, preventing excessive contraction that causes dimpling.
• Smooth out the skin, reducing the appearance of an “orange peel” or pebbled chin texture.
• Create a softer, more youthful chin contour, improving facial balance.
• Prevent deep static wrinkles from forming over time, maintaining a more youthful lower face.

What Does the Procedure Involve?
• Precise botulinum toxin injections are placed into the Mentalis muscle at key points in the lower chin.
• The procedure takes approximately 10–15 minutes.
• Minimal discomfort, as the injections are administered with fine needles for precision.
• No anaesthesia is required, and normal activities can be resumed immediately.

Long-Term Benefits of Regular Botulinum Toxin Treatments
• Muscle Fatigue & Reduction in Bulk – With repeated treatments, the targeted muscle becomes weaker over time due to reduced activity, leading to a gradual slimming effect in areas such as the jawline, trapezius, and masseter muscles.
• Prevention of Deep Static Lines – Regular use of botulinum toxin reduces repetitive muscle contractions, preventing wrinkles from becoming permanently etched into the skin and resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.
• Increased Longevity of Results – As the underlying muscles adapt to reduced movement, many clients find that they require fewer units over time or that results last longer between treatments.
• Gradual Muscle Wastage (Atrophy) – Over time, the muscle experiences atrophy (a decrease in size and strength), leading to longer-lasting results and a reduced need for frequent treatments in some cases.
• Enhanced Facial and Body Contouring – In areas like the jawline, trapezius, or masseter muscles, consistent treatments reduce bulk and refine the contour, creating a naturally sculpted and balanced aesthetic.
