Introduction

A nicely shaped chin can really improve your overall face. But as you age, the muscles in your chin can tighten or move too much, causing dimples, or uneven “orange-peel” texture.

Chin Botox helps relax these muscles that smoothen the skin and shape your lower face. It is perfect if you want a smoother chin and more defined jawline without downtime.

What Is Chin Botox?

Chin Botox is a quick, non-surgical treatment where small amounts of botulinum toxin are used and injected into the mentalis muscle, the muscle that moves your chin. When this muscle becomes too active from ageing or frequent movements, it causes dimpling or bumpy texture.

Combination of treatments like chin Botox, jawline Botox, or facial slimming treatments will result in a sculpted and more balanced look.

How Does it Work?

Chin Botox works by relaxing the muscle that causes dimples on your chin. Botulinum toxin blocks the nerve signal that makes the muscle move too much.

The skin becomes smoother as the muscle relaxes, and the chin looks more even. This also makes the jawline look slightly slimmer and defined.

Benefits of Chin Botox

Sharper and Defined Jawline

Botox relaxes the chin muscle to smooth and lengthen the lower face and helps create a more balanced and defined jawline.

Smoother and Dimple-Free Chin

Chin Botox reduces dimple look because of muscle movement and creates an even, refined look.

Quick and Non-Surgical Treatment

The whole procedure only takes under 15 minutes. No need for cuts or stitches, and you can immediately return to work after the treatment.

Real Results

The results of chin Botox make a clear difference. Before and after photos show smoother skin, more relaxed expression, and a more balanced look between chin and jawline.

Many patients say the results look natural and their face looks smoother and less tense. Chin Botox also softened their whole lower face and reduced the tightness.

Clinics like Harley Street Skin Clinic customise each treatment to make every patient get a natural look between your chin, lips and jawline.
