Pebble Chin (Chin Dimpling)
Pebble chin, also known as chin dimpling or an "orange peel" chin, is caused by an overactive mentalis muscle. This advanced injectable treatment uses small amounts of botulinum toxin to relax the muscle, creating a smoother, more balanced chin appearance while maintaining natural facial expressions.

At Glance
How does it work?
Targeted mentalis relaxation
Botulinum toxin is placed into the mentalis muscle, which is responsible for much of the dimpling and puckering seen across the chin.
Smoother skin surface
As excessive muscle contraction reduces, the overlying skin becomes less compressed, helping soften the pebbled or uneven appearance.
Improved lower-face balance
Reducing mentalis overactivity can also create a calmer, more balanced appearance through the chin area without adding volume or changing facial structure.
Gradual result
The effect develops over several days, with the full result typically becoming visible within around two weeks.

What causes a pebble chin? A pebble chin is caused by an overactive mentalis muscle. As this muscle contracts, it creates dimpling or an uneven texture on the chin, which may become more noticeable when talking, smiling or making facial expressions.
When will I see results? Initial results usually begin to appear within 3–7 days, with the full effect developing after approximately 2 weeks.
How long do the results last? Results typically last 3–4 months, although this can vary depending on your individual muscle activity and metabolism.
Is there any downtime after treatment? Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness, swelling or bruising at the injection sites, but these effects usually resolve within a few days.
Can pebble chin treatment be combined with other treatments? Yes. Pebble chin treatment is often combined with chin filler, jawline contouring, masseter treatment or other facial balancing procedures to create a more harmonious lower-face profile. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
