Your mouth is one of the most dynamic parts of your face. Over a dozen muscles move the lower half of your face and help you smile, laugh, frown, and express your emotions. Dynamic wrinkles form where there’s a lot of muscle movement, so it's no wonder that wrinkles start to form around your mouth and on your chin. Botox can target these muscles to relax fine lines and facial wrinkles.
## Wrinkles on Your Chin
Wrinkling and dimpling of your chin is a natural part of aging. Even though it’s normal, you may feel self-conscious about these visible signs of aging. 

## Chin Dimpling
Chin dimpling, also called creping or “orange-peel” skin, can create a rough texture on the chin. These wrinkles are caused by the mentalis muscle. Over time, the movement of this major muscle can create cross-hatched lines or wrinkles on the chin.

## Mental Crease
Another chin wrinkle you may notice is the mental crease. Most people have a crease between their chin and the lower lip, but it can become deeper with age. As collagen production slows, your skin loses its elasticity, and the crease may become more exaggerated. 

## Laugh Lines 
Laugh lines may appear around the corners of your mouth. As the name suggests, laugh lines form after years of laughing, smiling, and making facial expressions. Laugh lines may extend up from the corners of your mouth, but they can sometimes extend down towards your chin as well.
## Botox for Chin Wrinkles
Botox is a great treatment option for chin wrinkles. Botox can treat chin wrinkles, orange-peel skin, and laugh lines. It can also soften your mental crease to give you younger-looking skin.

Botox temporarily relaxes target muscles. Botox injections in the chin can prevent the movement of several of the muscles in the chin. When these muscles relax, they stop pulling or creasing your skin. After a few days, your skin will appear smoother and fine lines and wrinkles will fade. 

Botox on your chin can treat:
Dimples on your chin
Wrinkles or orange-peel skin
Fine lines on the chin
Deep creases on the chin or the deep mental crease
## When Will You See Results?
After Botox for chin wrinkles, you’ll see results in just a few days. After two days you will start to notice fewer lines, and after about a week you’ll see the full effect of Botox. Your results will last between three to six months.
## What Happens During Treatment?
Botox injections for chin wrinkles only take a few minutes. When you book an at-home Botox appointment, the whole process will take less than 20 minutes. At the beginning of the appointment, you’ll discuss your desired results and ask any questions you may have about the process. If you’re worried about any discomfort, you can request a topical anesthetic on your chin.

The injection just takes a few moments. Botox is injected directly into the targeted muscles on your chin where it will go to work relaxing your facial muscles. You may feel slight discomfort during the injection. And that’s it! After the injection, the appointment is over, and you can go back to your regular routine.
