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.

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.

Botox vs. Fillers for Chin Augmentation: What’s the Difference?

While both Botox and dermal fillers can be used for chin enhancement, they serve very different purposes. Botox works by relaxing the mentalis muscle, which can smooth out dimpling or an “orange peel” texture on the chin. It’s ideal for patients looking to refine the surface and reduce unwanted muscle activity. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are used to add volume, shape, and projection to the chin, helping to create a more balanced facial profile. At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre in Edmonton, we often combine both treatments for a comprehensive, natural-looking chin augmentation that improves both contour and skin texture.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chin Dimples Treatment

What exactly is chin dimples treatment with Botox?

Chin dimples treatment involves relaxing the mentalis muscle using Botox injections to smooth or reduce the appearance of chin dimpling and “orange peel” texture. It creates a more refined and youthful chin profile.
Good candidates are adults in good health who have a bumpy or puckered chin appearance when talking, smiling, or at rest. Those with mild to moderate chin dimpling seeking a subtle cosmetic enhancement benefit most.
The procedure typically takes just 10–15 minutes. After cleansing the chin area, a few precise injections are administered into the mentalis muscle.
Discomfort is minimal. Many patients report only a slight pinch during injection. Topical numbing is optional and rarely needed.
Results start appearing within 3–5 days, with full effect by 2 weeks after treatment. The chin appears smoother and more relaxed in animation and at rest.
Results typically last 3–4 months as the Botox gradually wears off and muscle activity returns. Some patients opt for maintenance treatments every 3–4 months.
Side effects are rare and mild, including temporary redness, bruising, or slight swelling at injection sites. These usually resolve within 24–48 hours.
Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications or supplements (like aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil) for 24–48 hours prior to treatment to reduce bruising. Follow any additional guidance provided by our team.
Most patients return to regular activities immediately. Avoid rubbing the area, strenuous exercise, or lying down for 3–4 hours post-treatment. Chin dimpling may be less noticeable almost right away
Absolutely. Botox for chin dimpling is often combined with jawline contouring, chin filler, or neck rejuvenation for a more balanced, harmonious facial look.
Costs vary depending on the number of units needed. At Albany Cosmetic & Laser Centre, the price typically ranges from $100–$200 per session depending on your individual needs.
No. The goal is subtle muscle relaxation—not full paralysis. You’ll maintain natural movement while the chin appears smoother and less puckered even when speaking or smiling.
