Smooth Away Chin Dimples and Uneven Skin

What Is an Orange Peel Chin?

An orange peel chin occurs when the skin on the chin becomes textured or slightly puckered, similar to the surface of an orange.
This appearance is typically caused by an overactive chin muscle (mentalis), which pulls the skin inward, creating small dimples or unevenness.

Why It Happens

• Overactive chin muscle
• Reduced skin elasticity due to ageing
• Genetic predisposition
• Changes in weight or bone structure

In some cases, a slightly recessed chin can make the muscle work harder, increasing the likelihood of visible dimpling.

How the Treatment Works

The goal of the treatment is to gently relax the chin muscle, reducing tension and smoothing the skin’s surface.
Our licensed nurses use a precise, muscle-calming injectable at specific points in the chin area. The treatment is quick, safe, and minimally uncomfortable, performed under strict hygiene and safety standards.

Treatment Benefits

• Quick and comfortable procedure (just a few minutes)
• No downtime – return to daily activities immediately
• Natural, balanced, and smooth results
• Lasts for several months

Your Treatment Journey at MyClinic Stockholm

1. Consultation and Assessment

Your journey begins with a consultation at our clinic in Odenplan, Vasastan.
One of our licensed and RFEM-certified nurses will review your aesthetic goals, assess your muscle activity and skin texture, and recommend the most suitable treatment plan for you. You’ll receive complete information about expected results, aftercare, and any precautions before treatment begins.

2. The Injection Treatment

A measured dose of a muscle-relaxing injectable is administered to specific areas of the chin to reduce overactivity in the muscle. This softens the skin and diminishes dimples while preserving your natural expressions.
The treatment typically takes less than 15 minutes and causes minimal discomfort.

3. Gradual, Natural Results

Results begin to develop within a week, with full improvement visible after about two weeks.
The effect lasts for 3–6 months, depending on your individual muscle strength and metabolism. If a touch-up is needed, a follow-up appointment can be booked after two to three weeks.

Aftercare and Longevity

To ensure the best possible results:
❌ Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for the first few hours
❌ Refrain from intense exercise on the same day
❌ Avoid lying flat immediately after the procedure

With proper aftercare, results typically last between three and six months before a repeat session may be desired.
