When speaking, swallowing, or unconsciously tensing, the chin muscle (Musculus mentalis) contracts — and the chin skin forms small dimples and bumps resembling a strawberry or cobblestone pattern. In some people this texture is permanently visible, in others only during movement. At minimal med, we specifically relax the overactive muscle so that the chin surface becomes smooth and calm — without restricting natural function.

Small muscle, big impact
The M. Mentalis is a relatively small muscle — but its overactivity shapes the entire appearance of the lower face. Just a few precisely placed units are enough to visibly smooth the surface.
Often overlooked, easily treated
"Many patients come in for a different treatment and mention in passing that their chin bothers them. When I show them how quickly and simply a dimpled chin can be treated, most are surprised. It's one of the smallest treatments with one of the most visible effects."
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a dimpled chin?
A dimpled chin (also called pebble chin or orange peel chin) is caused by an overactive chin muscle (M. Mentalis). When tensing — often unconsciously — small dimples and bumps form on the chin skin, resembling a strawberry surface.
Is the treatment painful?
Barely. Only a few fine injection points are placed. Most patients describe a slight pinch. A numbing cream can be applied beforehand if desired.
How long does the result last?
Usually 3-4 months. With regular treatment, the duration can extend as the muscle gets accustomed to its relaxed state.
Can this be combined with chin contouring?
Yes, this is actually a common combination. First the muscle is relaxed, then if needed, hyaluronic acid can shape the chin — for a smooth and defined chin area.
What does the treatment cost?
Dimpled chin treatment starts from 199 EUR. The exact price depends on the individually required amount.
