Chin dimpling often develops when the mentalis muscle contracts repeatedly and aggressively, creating dimples, grooves or a rough “orange peel” texture. This is most noticeable when speaking or smiling and can worsen with age.
While sometimes mistaken for acne scarring, this type of dimpling is muscular rather than textural—and that’s why injectable treatments are often the most effective solution.
We use precise anti-wrinkle injections to gently relax the overactive mentalis muscle. When this muscle is less active, the chin area appears smoother, more even, and more aesthetically balanced.
In some cases, we may also recommend a small amount of dermal filler if the dimpling is deep or accompanied by creasing or volume loss.

What causes chin dimpling?
Most cases are caused by a hyperactive mentalis muscle that contracts during facial movement. This results in dimples or puckering. In other cases, dimples may be due to acne scars, which are more suitable for filler treatment.
How does this treatment reduce dimples?
The injections calm the overactive chin muscle, which in turn smooths the skin over the chin. The result is a more even appearance.
How long do results last?
Typically 3 to 6 months, depending on how quickly your body metabolises the treatment. Regular maintenance sessions are available.
