Chin dimpling can occur when the mentalis muscle (the muscle located on the front of the chin) is engaged during certain facial expression. Over time horizontal and vertical lines can develop in the chin area as well as skin depressions or dimples due to mentalis overactivity.
At Richmond Cosmetic Clinic, we use Botox® and dermal fillers to treat chin dimpling. Botox injection is an effective treatment for reducing the appearance of chin dimpling. By relaxing the mentalis muscle, preventing its contraction, the overlaying skin on the chin cannot wrinkle. Clients who have dimpling due to acne scarring or who have experienced volume loss in this area can benefit from dermal filler injection such as Restylane® LYFT, Restylane® Sub-Q and Juvederm® Voluma.
Duration of results vary between individuals. Typically, the effects of Botox last between three to six months.
The procedure is performed by Dr Baba, a highly trained and experienced aesthetic doctor who is also a senior trainer for this procedure at London Aesthetic Academy (www.londonaestheticacademy.co.uk).
