The chin is formed by the mentalis muscle and the jawbone. This can be hyperactive or can be a little too large which many don’t like and find undesirable. Sometimes the muscle in this area can move involuntarily, this causes dimples or a pebbled like appearance to the skin on the chin. One small anti-wrinkle injection into each side of the chin can stop this from happening and improve the appearance.

​

What to expect with treatment:

​

Exam:

Prior to Botox® treatment, we evaluate your anatomy  and movement with you relaxed and then making facial expressions, including smiling. We will determine the proper location and dose for the Botox® injections.

​

Results:

As with other Botox® injections, results come on gradually and usually are apparent in 3-4 days with maximum effect in 7-14 days. 

 

Botox®, Dysport®, and  Xeomin® last on average 3-4 months, so to maintain results, you will need to come in for touch-ups a few times a year.
