Smooth and Refine Your Chin with Botox at Skinly Aesthetics
Are you frustrated with the appearance of chin dimples and lines that don’t respond to skincare products? At Skinly Aesthetics in New York City, we offer Botox for the chin, a non-invasive treatment that smooths chin wrinkles, softens the “orange peel” texture, and enhances facial harmony – all in a quick session with minimal downtime.
Book NowWhat Is Chin Botox?
Chin Botox involves injecting botulinum toxin into the mentalis muscle, which is responsible for chin movements. By relaxing this muscle, Botox smooths out dimples, and reduces the “orange peel” texture and labiomental line, resulting in a more polished and youthful chin appearance.
Why Get Chin Botox?
- Smoothes Chin Dimples: Reduces the “orange peel” texture caused by an overactive mentalis muscle.
- Softens Wrinkles: Minimizes horizontal labiomental crease on the chin.
- Enhances Facial Harmony: Improves chin symmetry and proportion, contributing to a balanced facial profile.
- Non-Surgical: Offers a quick procedure with minimal downtime, allowing you to resume daily activities promptly.
How Does Chin Botox Work?
Botox works by temporarily inhibiting nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. When injected into the mentalis muscle, it reduces excessive movement, smoothing out dimples and wrinkles for a more refined chin contour.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Botox injections for chin treatment are straightforward and minimally invasive, typically lasting around 20-30 minutes. Here’s what you can expect:
- Consultation: Dr. Schwarzburg will evaluate your chin anatomy and discuss your desired outcomes.
- Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed and marked for accurate injection placement.
- Injection: Ultra-fine needles are used to deliver Botox precisely into the mentalis muscle, reducing dimpling and smoothing the skin.
- Post-Procedure: There is no downtime, and you can resume your regular activities immediately after the session.
Chin Botox Post-Treatment Care
- Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours.
- Refrain from strenuous activities and excessive heat exposure on the day of the procedure.
- Follow any additional aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Schwarzburg to ensure optimal results.
When Will You See the Results?
Results from Chin Botox treatment typically become noticeable within a few days, with full effects visible after one to two weeks. Effects generally last between three to four months, after which maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain the desired look.
Are You a Candidate for Chin Botox?
If you’re over 18, in good health, and seeking a non-surgical solution to address chin dimpling or wrinkles, you may be an ideal candidate for Chin Botox. A consultation with Dr. Schwarzburg will determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs.
Contraindications to Chin Botox Procedure
Individuals with neuromuscular disorders, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those with known allergies to botulinum toxin should avoid this treatment.
Cost of Chin Botox
At Skinly Aesthetics, Chin Botox treatments are priced per unit. The total cost ranges between $300 and $600, depending on the number of units required to achieve your desired results. We offer flexible payment plans through Care Credit and accept FSA/HSA cards.
Chin Botox: Before and After Results
Chin Botox at Skinly Aesthetics provides visible improvements in both the texture and contour of the lower face. Before treatment, patients often struggle with chin dimpling, an “orange peel” texture, and a pronounced labiomental crease – the horizontal line between the lower lip and chin – that contributes to an aged or tired appearance.
After treatment, the skin appears smoother, the labiomental crease softens, and the chin contour is more balanced. Results typically become noticeable within 5-7 days, with full effects developing by 2 weeks. Patients enjoy a more youthful, refined look, with a harmonious lower facial profile.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Chin Botox last?
Results from Chin Botox typically last 3 to 4 months. For some patients, effects may last up to 6 months, depending on muscle strength and metabolism. Regular maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain the results.
Is Chin Botox painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. Dr. Schwarzburg uses ultra-fine needles, and a topical numbing cream can be applied to enhance comfort if needed.
Are there any side effects of Chin Botox?
Common side effects include mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which usually resolves within a few hours to a day. Serious side effects are rare when performed by an experienced injector like Dr. Schwarzburg.
How many units of Botox are needed for the chin?
The number of units required depends on the individual’s anatomy and the extent of the chin dimpling or labiomental crease. On average, 5 to 20 units are used for optimal results.
Can Chin Botox help with a protruding chin or asymmetry?
Yes, Botox can help soften a protruding chin and correct minor chin asymmetry by relaxing the overactive mentalis muscle, leading to a more balanced and harmonious appearance.
What should I avoid after getting Chin Botox?
To ensure the best results, avoid touching or massaging the treated area, strenuous exercise, and exposure to heat or saunas for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
Can I combine Chin Botox with other treatments?
Absolutely. Chin Botox can be effectively combined with chin fillers or jawline filler to enhance chin projection and further refine the jawline. During your consultation, Dr. Schwarzburg will discuss your goals and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
