What Causes a Dimpled Chin?
A dimpled chin, often referred to as “chin cellulite” or “peau d’orange,” can be caused by a variety of factors. Surprisingly, overactive chin muscles are one of the most common causes, leading to the uneven, bumpy appearance of the skin. Genetics can also play a significant role, as some individuals naturally have a more pronounced texture in their chin area due to the structure of the underlying muscles and tissues. As we age, the loss of collagen and elasticity can further accentuate dimpling, as the skin becomes less firm and smooth.
Other contributing factors include dehydration, which can cause the skin to lose its plumpness, making dimpling more prominent. Excessive sun exposure may also lead to collagen breakdown, further emphasizing irregular texture. Lifestyle factors such as smoking and poor diet can negatively affect skin health and elasticity, contributing to a dimpled appearance. In some cases, underlying conditions like muscle imbalances or skin laxity can worsen the effect. Identifying the underlying cause is crucial to effectively smoothing and reducing the appearance of a dimpled chin.
Treatment Options
Treatment options for a dimpled chin can vary depending on the severity. Below is a list of all of the services we offer that can help improve the dimpling of your chin.
What Results Can I Expect?
When treating a dimpled chin with either Xeomin or dermal fillers, individuals can expect noticeable improvements in skin smoothness and texture.
Xeomin, a botulinum toxin, works by relaxing overactive chin muscles that cause dimpling, resulting in a smoother, more even surface. Results typically appear within 3-7 days and last about 3 to 4 months.
On the other hand, dermal fillers like hyaluronic acid provide immediate volumizing effects by filling in hollows and smoothing the skin. This treatment is especially effective if the dimpling is caused by volume loss or skin laxity. Fillers offer a longer-lasting solution, with results visible immediately and lasting between 6 to 18 months, depending on the product used.
Both treatments have minimal downtime, with Xeomin focusing on muscle relaxation and fillers on adding volume, making them effective options to achieve a smoother, more refined chin appearance.
