Got dimpling or wrinkles on your chin that you’re not a fan of? It’s completely normal for the skin on our face to change as we age, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with it if you’re self-conscious about it.
Botox® is a popular option for smoothing out wrinkles in the lower part of the jaw and chin area.
It’s a toxin that temporarily stops the muscle movements underneath your skin that causes wrinkles. It’s delivered by injection in the specific area you want to target.
Botox® has many clinical uses, like treating migraines, but using it to smooth out wrinkles on your chin is considered a cosmetic procedure. That means it’s not covered by insurance and you’ll have to pay for it yourself.
The cost of Botox® treatments can vary depending on how much product is used, and that’s usually determined by how much a vial of Botox® costs at the time of your appointment. According to the American Society for Plastic Surgeons, the average cost for Botox® treatment in 2023 was $435. But keep in mind that the cost can be affected by the location, the experience level of your provider, and the amount of Botox® product needed to achieve your desired result.
The procedure is quick, doesn’t require any anesthesia, and doesn’t typically require any downtime for recovery. You can drive yourself to and from the appointment and can even go back to work right after. So it’s a relatively simple and convenient way of achieving smooth and youthful looking skin.
The cost of Botox® treatments can vary depending on several factors. One of the main factors is the amount of product used during the procedure.
The amount of product needed is determined by the area of treatment, the individual’s muscle mass and severity of wrinkles. As a general rule of thumb, more product is needed for larger areas or severe wrinkles. Additionally, the cost of a vial of Botox® at the time of your appointment can also affect the overall cost of the procedure.
Another factor that can affect the cost of Botox® treatment is the location of the clinic or practice. Botox® treatment prices can vary depending on the cost of living in your area. For example, prices in a metropolitan area may be higher than prices in a rural area.
The experience level of the provider you choose can also affect the cost of Botox® treatment. In general, providers with more experience and training may charge more for their services.

Your chin wrinkles, or dynamic rhytids, are caused by the muscles underneath your skin making the same movements over and over. Botox® helps to smooth out these wrinkles by temporarily blocking the communication between your brain and those muscles.
This is done by inhibiting the release of a chemical called acetylcholine, which helps control muscle movement. When Botox® is injected into the muscle tissue, it locks those muscles in place, temporarily smoothing out wrinkles. But don’t worry, it’s safe as long as you get it done by a qualified and experienced practitioner. It’s important to note that these results are temporary, and you will need to schedule regular touch-up appointments to maintain the smooth skin.
Want to know what the procedure for Botox® for your chin is like? It’s pretty straightforward.
Before your treatment starts, you’ll have a chat with your practitioner to discuss what you want to achieve and go over any medications or health conditions you have.
Once you arrive at the appointment, your practitioner will clean your face and sterilize the area where they’ll be injecting the Botox®. They may also apply a topical anesthetic to make the procedure more comfortable.
Then, your practitioner will inject the Botox® directly into the muscles of your chin. You may feel a little discomfort during the injection, but it should only last a few seconds.
Once the injections are done, your appointment is over! You might want to take it easy for a bit afterwards, but you won’t need to take any time off work or anything like that.
If you’re looking to get rid of those pesky dimples on your chin, Botox® is a good option. It goes straight to the root of the problem by targeting the muscle that’s causing the dimpling. Usually, dimples form when the muscle underneath your skin is contracting too much.
Botox® can help with that by using a purified protein, which is injected into the affected muscle. This protein blocks the signal from the nerve that tells the muscle to contract. Basically it freezes the muscle and stops it from contracting, which leads to the muscle relaxing, and the dimples becoming less visible.

If you know that wrinkles in your chin area run in your family, you may want to consider Botox® as a preventive measure. By having Botox® injections regularly, you could delay the appearance or the severity of wrinkles in your chin area.
Botox® injections typically cause minimal discomfort, often described as a slight pinch or stinging sensation, comparable to a bug bite. To further minimize any discomfort, practitioners may use fine-gauge needles and can apply numbing cream to the treatment area before the procedure.
