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.
The deep groove that runs horizontally across the chin just below the lower lip is referred to as the ‘mental crease’.
This type of facial line can be genetically inherited; it can be caused by the natural form of your chin structure, or it can be related to the position of your jaw or teeth.
Another type of chin creasing is the network of smaller chin wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions and formed by an overactive ‘mentalis muscle’, which can cause the chin’s skin to be raised and puckered, or have an orange-peel effect.
Whatever the cause or effect of your chin’s creasing or wrinkling, these concerns can be treated with anti-wrinkle injections to relax these overactive muscle movements and smooth the existing lines that they’ve caused.
The chin area can see deep lines form in various ways: a horizontal groove between the bottom lip and the chin, also referred to as the ‘mental crease’; chin dimples; and sometimes a collection of smaller lines on the chin area.
Doctor-led treatments for chin creases or dimples can prevent the muscles in this area from repeatedly moving thereby minimising or delaying the formation of wrinkles. By treating lines in this area, the overall face is uplifted with a less puckered or uneven appearance.

When it comes to aesthetic treatments, it is imperative that all aspects of a person are considered such as age, gender, ethnicity, skin type, health issues and other personal attributes.

During your consultation, you will be asked about your concerns and goals, and your practitioner will assure the best approach in achieving your desired outcome, depending on the shape of your face and the length and depth of your creases or lines.
