Pebbled chin botox also known as dimpled chin botox at our clinic in London is a minimally invasive approach to treat the chin, resulting in a smoother and more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
A “pebble chin,” also known as “orange peel chin” or “cobblestone chin,” is characterised by a dimpled or uneven appearance of the chin, resembling the surface of an orange peel.
This phenomenon arises due to the hyperactivity of the mentalis muscle in the chin. Botulinum toxin can be used to alleviate this condition by relaxing the overactive muscle and thereby smoothening the skin’s surface.
What is Botulinum Toxin?
Botulinum toxin is a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When introduced in precise amounts into the body, it can temporarily block nerve signals to muscles, leading to a relaxation of the targeted muscle.
How Does Pebbled Chin Botox Work?
The mentalis muscle, located at the tip of the chin, is responsible for elevating the lower lip and wrinkling the chin. When this muscle is overactive, it can cause the skin on the chin to bunch up, leading to the dimpled appearance characteristic of a pebble chin.
By injecting botulinum toxin into the mentalis muscle, its activity is tempered, resulting in a more relaxed and smoother chin appearance.
How Long Do Dimpled Chin Botox Results Last?
Effects typically last 3-6 months, varying depending on factors like individual age, metabolism, and injection site.
How do I know Botulinum Toxin is right for me?
The smoothening effect on the chin becomes evident within 3-5 days, with full results typically visible by two weeks. The benefits last approximately 3-4 months, though individual results can vary.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pebble Chin Botox
How long does pebble chin botox take to work?
Pebble chin Botox typically takes about a week for the initial effects to become visible, and it may take a few weeks for the pebble-like dimples on your chin to be completely reduced.
Are there any side effects of pebble chin treatment?
Dr Hanson’s pebble chin treatment has very few side effects. Some minor effects may include itching, redness, swelling, and bruising, but these typically disappear within a few hours.

What is pebble chin?
A pebble chin, also known as cobblestone chin, refers to small, uneven bumps or indentations on the chin’s surface. This condition often develops due to repetitive muscle movements over time. As we age, the constant contractions of chin muscles can create this textured appearance.
How long do the effects of pebble chin botox last?
The effects of Botox treatment for a pebble chin typically last around 3-4 months. After this period, the muscles gradually regain movement, and the dimples may reappear. Regular maintenance treatments are usually recommended to sustain the results.
Can botox be used for treating orange peel chin?
Yes, Botox can be used to improve the appearance of an “orange peel” texture on the chin. It works by relaxing the muscles and smoothing out the skin. It’s best to consult with a professional, like Dr. Hanson, to discuss the suitability of this treatment for your specific concerns.
