Chin Dimple Treatment for Smoother Skin
Chin dimples, sometimes called “orange peel chin,” can affect your confidence and the overall symmetry of your face. Whether you were born with it or developed it over time, this facial feature can now be softened or smoothed with non-surgical treatments available at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre in Edmonton.
Our chin dimple correction solutions target the underlying muscle contractions and volume deficiencies causing the dimpled texture. Through advanced techniques, we offer minimally invasive options to help achieve a smoother, more even chin profile—without surgery or downtime.
Understanding Chin Dimples and Orange Peel Texture
Chin dimples and “orange peel” texture often result from repetitive muscle contractions, genetics, or age-related volume loss. Overactive mentalis muscle activity pulls the skin inward, creating a puckered or bumpy appearance. In some cases, fat loss or bone structure plays a role, emphasizing dimples even more.
Benefits of Chin Dimple Treatment
Correcting chin dimpling not only improves facial aesthetics but also boosts self-confidence. Treatments are quick, minimally invasive, and require little to no downtime. The smoother chin contours lead to a more balanced, youthful appearance that enhances your overall look.
How Chin Dimple Removal Works
We use neuromodulators like Botox to relax the overactive mentalis muscle, preventing the contraction that causes dimples. For deeper creases or volume issues, we may use hyaluronic acid-based fillers to plump and smooth the chin surface, effectively softening the look.
Visible Results After Chin Dimple Removal
Clients can expect a noticeable reduction in chin dimpling, with the skin appearing smoother and more refined. Results often begin to show within a few days and continue to improve over the next 2 weeks as the muscles relax or chin fillers settle in place. Most clients experience enhanced facial symmetry and a softer chin contour.
