Understanding chin wrinkles
Chin wrinkles, creases, and dimpling are common concerns that can subtly age the lower face and alter overall facial harmony. These lines often develop gradually, first appearing with facial expressions and eventually becoming visible even at rest. Over time, the skin loses collagen, elastin, and firmness, while the underlying muscles and connective tissue change—contributing to both fine lines and deeper creases.
Chin wrinkles can be dynamic, forming primarily during facial movements such as talking, smiling, or frowning, or static, appearing even when the face is relaxed. Dynamic wrinkles are often the first to appear and may develop into deeper, static lines if left untreated. Both types can affect the overall lower-face balance and make the chin appear creased, dimpled, or less defined.
Dynamic vs static lines
Dynamic lines appear when muscles contract, creating temporary creases that deepen over time. Static lines, on the other hand, are present even at rest and are usually the result of ageing, volume loss, and repeated expressions. Understanding the difference helps guide personalised treatment strategies.
How chin wrinkles impact facial appearance
Chin wrinkles, creases, and dimpling can subtly alter the lower face’s contours. They may draw attention downward, and are commonly associated with advancing age. Targeted treatment can smooth and balance the shape and harmony of the lower face.
Causes of chin creases and dimpling
Several factors contribute to the formation of chin wrinkles and dimpling:
Muscle activity and facial expressions
Repetitive movements of the chin muscles gradually crease the skin. While natural, over time these movements can deepen lines and accentuate dimpling.
Ageing and skin changes
With age, skin loses collagen, elastin, and hydration, leading to thinning, sagging, and reduced elasticity. These changes make the skin more prone to creases and dimpling. Structural volume is also lost, as the underlying fat and bone reduce over time.
Genetic and lifestyle factors
Genetics influence how wrinkles develop, while lifestyle factors—such as sun exposure, smoking, and hydration—affect skin quality and the rate of crease formation.
Anatomy of the chin and lower face
Understanding the chin’s underlying structure helps explain why wrinkles and dimpling appear and how treatments can target them effectively.
Chin muscles and their function
The mentalis muscle supports movement and expression in the chin. Overactivity or imbalance in this muscle can create dimpling or pronounced creases.
Skin, connective tissue, and fat distribution
The overlying skin and soft tissue provide contour and support. Ageing can lead to thinning and sagging contributing to visible lines and dimpling.
Structural influence on wrinkle formation
Chin shape, jawline definition, and muscle activity all influence where wrinkles and dimples appear. Assessing these factors allows for tailored, natural-looking results.
Assessment for treatment
Personalised care is key when addressing chin wrinkles and dimpling. During your consultation, clinicians consider:
- Skin thickness, quality, and elasticity
- Muscle activity and repetitive movement patterns
- Chin shape, jawline contours, and lower-face balance
- Age-related changes and lifestyle factors
This assessment ensures treatments are customised to your anatomy, goals, and expectations.
Treatment objectives
The aim of treating chin creases, wrinkles and dimples is to address these concerns while preserving natural facial expressions and harmony. Key objectives include:
- Softening deep chin creases and reducing the appearance of fine lines.
- Minimising dimpling caused by repeated muscle movement.
- Supporting skin and underlying tissue to increase overall firmness and resilience.
- Addressing structural balance and volume in the lower face, creating a smooth, natural contour.
A successful treatment approach combines consideration of the muscles, skin, and structural support of the chin to produce subtle, long-lasting results that blend seamlessly with the rest of the face.
How chin wrinkle and dimple treatments work
Chin wrinkles, dimpling, and creases are often caused by a combination of repeated muscle movement, thinning skin, and changes in underlying connective tissue. Non-surgical treatments focus on gently relaxing overactive muscle fibres while supporting skin structure, allowing lines to soften without compromising natural movement.
By carefully targeting the chin’s underlying anatomy, these treatments work to smooth creases, refine dimpling, and restore a more even lower-face contour. The aim is not to eliminate all expression—rather, it is to subtly adjust the appearance of the chin so that it complements the rest of the face and preserves a natural, relaxed look.
Balancing muscle activity
The mentalis muscle, located at the centre of the chin, is responsible for movements such as speaking, smiling, and frowning. Over time, repeated contractions can create dimples or deepen existing creases. Treatments focus on reducing excessive tension in this muscle to soften the skin’s surface, while still preserving natural expressiveness. Careful assessment ensures that movement remains fluid and natural, avoiding an over-restrained or artificial appearance.
Supporting skin and connective tissue
As the skin ages, collagen and elastin decline, and the dermal layers become thinner. This contributes to the formation of fine lines and deeper folds. Treatment approaches target skin quality, helping to:
- Increase density and elasticity.
- Increase firmness and resilience to resist new line formation.
- Smooth the appearance of existing wrinkles and dimples.
By optimising skin health from within, the chin appears smoother, and more structurally supported.
Addressing structural support and volume
Loss of subcutaneous fat and soft tissue beneath the chin can accentuate creases and create a hollow or uneven appearance. Treatments aim to subtly address volume and support the skin, which helps:
- Lift and smooth the chin contour.
- Reduce shadowing and the visual depth of creases.
- Harmonise proportions with the jawline and lower face.
By combining muscle relaxation, skin support, and structural volume, the treatment addresses both the causes and the visible effects of chin wrinkles and dimples.
Customising treatment to individual anatomy
No two chins are the same. Differences in muscle strength, skin thickness, and bone structure all influence how wrinkles and dimples appear. Clinicians assess each patient’s facial proportions to ensure results are harmonious and tailored to their unique anatomy. This personalised approach helps achieve subtle changes to the natural shape of the chin rather than altering it unnaturally.
Ageing considerations for the chin
The appearance of wrinkles and dimpling in the chin is part of a broader pattern of facial ageing.
Changes in skin and underlying tissue
Over time, skin loses elasticity, thickness, and hydration. Connective tissue and soft tissue beneath the chin also thin, which reduces the support that keeps the skin smooth. These changes make both fine lines and deeper creases more noticeable.
Muscle tone and repetitive movement
Dynamic movement of the mentalis muscle is a key factor in chin dimpling. As the skin and connective tissue become less resilient, even small, repeated movements can leave visible impressions that deepen over time.
Bone structure and facial proportions
Age-related changes in the lower jaw and chin can subtly shift the way the skin sits over the underlying bone, sometimes accentuating creases and altering the balance of the lower face. By considering bone structure, clinicians can ensure that treatments complement overall facial symmetry and proportion.
Long-term ageing considerations
As chin lines and dimpling can evolve over time due to muscle activity, tissue loss, and skin ageing. A strategic approach considers:
- Prevention of further deepening of lines.
- Maintenance of smooth, firm skin.
- Adjustments over time to sustain natural contours as the lower face changes.
Ongoing care, including personalised advice on skin health and lifestyle factors, helps maintain a refined and balanced appearance long-term.
Aftercare and maintaining results
Proper aftercare is essential to maximise results and support long-term skin health.
Immediate post-treatment guidance
After treatment, it is important to allow the chin area to settle. Avoid pressing, massaging, or manipulating the skin for a few days, and minimise strenuous facial movements where possible. This helps the skin and underlying tissues adjust naturally.
Skincare and lifestyle considerations
Maintaining smooth, healthy skin requires a combination of targeted skincare and healthy lifestyle choices. Hydration, moisturisers that support elasticity, and sun protection are all essential. A diet rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and hydration also helps skin remain resilient. Minimising smoking and limiting alcohol intake further supports long-term results.
Follow-up care and ongoing optimisation
Regular assessments allow clinicians to monitor changes, fine-tune treatments, and prevent new creases from becoming pronounced. Follow-up care ensures that changes remain subtle, natural-looking, and proportionate to the face as a whole. The need for follow-up and ongoing care should always be decided in a detailed consultation with your clinician.
Long-term outcomes
When performed as part of a personalised plan, non-surgical chin wrinkle treatments can soften the appearance of dimpling and deep lines. Over time, this approach supports a smoother, more refined lower face, while preserving natural expressions and complementing overall facial balance.

A chin crease or dimpling can develop from a combination of factors. Natural anatomy, overactive chin muscles, and skin changes with age may all play a role. Over time, these factors can make a horizontal line, shadow, or irregular surface appear more noticeable on the chin.
Yes, chin creases are often associated with ageing. As skin loses elasticity and facial volume changes, a horizontal line across the chin may deepen. In some people, this is made more noticeable by muscle activity in the chin.
Not all chin creases are age-related. Some people naturally develop a chin crease or dimpling at a younger age due to their facial anatomy or muscle activity. Genetics often play a role.
Yes, lifestyle can contribute. Repeated facial expressions, smoking, sun exposure, and dehydration can all affect skin quality, which may make chin lines and dimples appear more prominent over time.
A chin crease usually refers to a horizontal line that runs across the chin. Chin dimpling, sometimes called “orange-peel chin” or “pebble chin,” describes a bumpy or uneven surface caused by muscle contractions under the skin.
There are a number of non-surgical treatments that may help smooth chin creases or reduce dimpling. The most suitable approach depends on whether the concern is related to skin quality, volume changes, or muscle activity. This is best assessed during a consultation.
A consultation will involve discussing your concerns, assessing your facial structure, and exploring potential non-surgical options. You’ll also learn about expected outcomes, possible side effects, and whether treatment is suitable for you.
Chin dimples, also known as chin pebbling or chin-ulite, describe an uneven or bumpy surface on the chin. Instead of being smooth, the skin may look dimpled or resemble the texture of an orange peel.
This happens when the chin muscle (the mentalis) contracts strongly or repeatedly, pulling the skin inward. Over time, these muscle movements can leave the surface of the chin looking irregular. While some people naturally have this appearance from a young age, it can also become more noticeable with age as skin and soft tissue support changes.

Treatments for chin wrinkles, dimpling, or “pebbling” usually focus on relaxing the chin muscle (mentalis) or supporting the area. A personalised approach is taken depending on whether the concern is related to muscle activity, skin texture, or volume changes.
Non-surgical options may involve softening muscle contractions, smoothing the skin, and reducing the appearance of dimples. In some cases, treatments that add volume can also improve chin contour and reduce creasing.
These treatments are designed to soften chin lines, creases, and the “pebbling” effect caused by muscle activity. While they can improve the overall smoothness of the chin, a deep chin cleft or prominent bum chin often requires a different approach. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your chin shape and discuss the most appropriate non-surgical options.
The results of chin wrinkle and dimple treatments are temporary. Most people notice an improvement for several months, but the exact duration varies depending on the treatment used, your facial anatomy, and lifestyle factors. Follow-up treatments can help maintain your results over time.
Most people return to work and social activities immediately after treatment. It’s common to notice small marks, redness, or mild swelling at the injection sites. These usually settle within a few hours to a couple of days. As the treatment takes effect, you can expect your chin to appear smoother, with less dimpling or creasing when you speak, smile, or frown.
When performed by an experienced medical professional, chin wrinkle and dimple treatments are generally considered safe. However all treatments do have risks, which will be discussed with you in detail before you choose to proceed.
Like all medical procedures, chin treatments carry some risk. Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. Less common risks, such as unevenness or infection, are possible but rare. All potential side effects will be explained during your consultation, and you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions before proceeding.
