Dimpled chin treatment

What is a dimpled chin?

Also called orange-peel chin, peau d'orange chin, or cobblestone chin. This is where the chin delevops an excessively dimpled appearance whenever the chin muscle contracts.

How does Botox help?

"Orange-peel chin" injections using Botox or Azzalure can help to relax the muscles that cause your chin to look cobblestones, resulting in a smoother, more youthful and refreshed appearance.

When will I see the effects?

You should start to see/feel the effects of Botox and Azzalure on your chin after 3 to 5 days, but it typically takes up to 2 weeks before the full effect is achieved. A free review appointment is usually made at this time, where the effect can be fully assessed by Doctor Alex, and topped-up if necessary.

How long does the dimpled chin treatment last for?

Botox and Azzalure injections to the chin region usually last between 3 to 6 months before the next treatment is required.

Is it painful?

No. You may feel a slight pinprick sensation as your chin is injected. Doctor Alex can also apply special numbing cream beforehand if you are worried about this.

How long is recovery time?

More or less immediate recovery — it can be performed in your lunch break! As a needle is used for the injection, there is a chance you may get a small amount of bleeding/bruising, which usually resolves after a few days.

Where are your cosmetic clinics?
