Bothered by a deep crease just above your chin? Or perhaps you have some skin dimpling or deep lines in this area?
We offer treatment options for the chin crease or chin dimple, as ways to address the appearance of deeply etched lines that have formed on the chin.
Often, these types of crease formations are due to genetics. However, they can also develop over time from skin ageing and repetition of facial expressions or muscular movements.
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.
Fortunately, treatments such as wrinkle relaxers can help smooth the appearance of chin dimpling by relaxing the overactive mentalis muscle.
