Chin Dimpling Aftercare

By London Aesthetics Clinic

Intro to treatment

Chin dimpling, often referred to as a “pebble chin” or “orange peel chin”, is caused by overactivity of the mentalis muscle. Treatment uses botulinum toxin to relax this muscle, smoothing the appearance of dimpling and creating a more even, refined chin contour. The treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and helps improve lower face harmony without adding volume. This treatment has been carried out by By London Aesthetics Clinic.

Aftercare step by step

1. Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the chin area for at least 6 hours after treatment.

2. Remain upright for 4 hours following treatment. Avoid lying flat or bending excessively during this time.

3. Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy sweating, saunas, steam rooms, and hot baths for 24 hours.

4. Refrain from consuming alcohol for 24 hours to minimise the risk of bruising.

5. Avoid applying makeup to the chin area for at least 12 hours.

6. Mild redness, swelling, or small bumps at the injection site may occur and should settle within a few hours to a few days.

7. Avoid excessive facial movements or resting the chin on your hands on the day of treatment.

8. Do not have facial treatments, massages, or aesthetic procedures for at least 2 weeks unless advised otherwise.

9. Follow any personalised aftercare advice provided by your practitioner at By London Aesthetics Clinic.
