What causes chin creases, clefts or dimpling?

Chin dimpling, also known as “pebble chin” or “golf ball chin,” occurs due to various factors that affect the underlying muscles and skin. The most common causes include:

1. Overactive Mentalis Muscle – The mentalis muscle, located in the chin, is responsible for controlling lip and chin movement. When this muscle contracts excessively, it can create a dimpling effect on the skin. This often becomes more pronounced with age as collagen and elastin levels decrease, making the skin less smooth.

2. Loss of Skin Elasticity – As we age, our skin loses collagen, leading to a reduction in firmness. This can make dimples or creases in the chin more noticeable, especially when talking, eating, or making facial expressions.

3. Acne Scarring – Past acne breakouts can leave behind scar tissue, creating indentations or uneven texture on the chin. These scars contribute to the appearance of dimpling, especially when combined with natural muscle contractions.

4. Genetics – Some individuals are genetically predisposed to having a more textured or dimpled chin due to inherited facial muscle structure and skin composition.

5. Habitual Movements & Expressions – Frequent pursing of the lips, frowning, or other repetitive facial expressions can overwork the mentalis muscle, leading to deepening dimples or creases over time.

Non-Surgical Treatment Options for Chin Crease and Dimpling

In Australia, non-surgical cosmetic treatments for concerns related to the chin area are often sought as alternatives to surgical options. These treatments aim to subtly enhance the chin’s appearance and address the look of lines, dimples, or mild skin changes.

Common cosmetic approaches discussed during personalised consultations with our experienced cosmetic clinicians may include:

  • Facial muscle assessments and treatments:
    Cosmetic options that address overactive chin muscle movements that may contribute to the appearance of chin lines or dimples.

  • Volume and contouring treatments:
    Approaches designed to subtly address chin volume or contour concerns associated with ageing or anatomical factors.

  • Skin-focused cosmetic treatments:
    Techniques aiming skin texture or tone, helping support the overall aesthetic appearance of the chin. These include CO2 laser, Morpheus 8 Radiofrequency Skin Needling, 1540 fractional non-ablative laser and micro needling.

  • Skin care maintenance options:
    Personalised skincare products from the Ilumae range may be recommended to support general skin health and hydration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will chin crease or chin dimpling treatments hurt?

Comfort during cosmetic procedures varies significantly between individuals. At Contour Clinics, treatments addressing concerns related to chin lines or dimpling are conducted by qualified medical professionals who prioritise your comfort.

To assist with potential discomfort, topical numbing creams or other comfort measures may be applied before treatment. Many individuals describe sensations during these treatments as brief and tolerable; however, this varies based on personal sensitivity and the specific techniques employed.

During your personalised consultation, your clinician will clearly discuss potential sensations, discomfort management options, and any associated risks. This ensures you’re fully informed about what to expect, enabling you to make a comfortable decision about proceeding.

No specific level of comfort or discomfort can be guaranteed, as individual experiences and sensitivity levels vary.

Will I see immediate results from chin crease/dimpling treatments?

Cosmetic treatments addressing the appearance of chin lines or dimpling may show subtle initial changes shortly after the procedure. However, outcomes often become clearer over the days following treatment with full results being visible at 2 weeks.

The visibility and timing of results vary significantly depending on individual anatomy, the type of treatment performed, and personal healing factors.

 

How long do the results last from chin crease treatments?

The duration of cosmetic results for chin lines or dimpling treatments varies significantly between individuals. Factors influencing longevity include your individual anatomy, skin characteristics, lifestyle factors, and the specific cosmetic technique used.

Generally, outcomes can range from several months to more than a year, depending on the treatment approach selected.

Can I get this treatment while pregnant or breastfeeding?

No. We advise against chin crease treatments for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
