Chin dimpling is the uneven or puckered appearance of the skin over the chin, often noticeable during facial expressions like speaking or smiling. It is typically caused by repeated contractions of the mentalis muscle, which tugs at the skin and creates a textured look. As the skin naturally loses collagen and elasticity with age, the dimpling can become more visible. While it is a common cosmetic concern, many people choose to treat it for a smoother, more balanced facial appearance.
The most effective treatment for dimpling chin is wrinkle relaxers, which calm the overactive mentalis muscle. In some cases, hyaluronic acid fillers are added to improve surface texture and shape.
Wrinkle relaxers like Botox work by temporarily weakening the mentalis muscle. This reduces the pulling effect that causes the skin to dimple or pucker, creating a smoother appearance.
