A pebbled chin can occur due to the hyperactivity of the mentalis muscle, which lies at the base of the chin. When this muscle contracts irregularly, it can create a bumpy, textured surface. This condition is not only common but also easily treatable with Botox injections that relax the muscle, thereby smoothing the skin
A "Dimpled chin," also known as an "Pebble Chin or orange peel chin," is a condition where the skin on the chin appears dimpled or textured, similar to the surface of an orange peel. This texturing occurs when the mentalis muscle, which is the muscle that controls the movement of the chin, becomes hyperactive or contracts irregularly.
The pebbling effect can be more noticeable when the person clenches their jaw, pouts, or makes other facial expressions that engage the chin area. Factors contributing to the development of a pebbled chin can include aging, genetic predispositions, and neurological conditions.
In aesthetic medicine, treatments such as Botox or other botulinum toxin injections are commonly used to relax the mentalis muscle, thereby smoothing out the chin's appearance and reducing the pebbled and dimpled effect. This treatment can help achieve a more even and refined look to the chin and lower facial area.
