Muscle relaxants
In the case of an overactive chin muscle, dimples and fine lines can develop on the chin. Because this resembles the skin of an orange, it is also referred to as an orange peel chin. By treating the chin muscle with a small amount of Botox, these dimples and fine lines can be smoothed out.
If you are bothered by the irregularities on your chin and would like smooth skin, this treatment is suitable for you.
The treatment
Prior to the treatment, an extensive consultation takes place in which we discuss your wishes, expectations and risks of the treatment. The physician places 2-4 injections at specific points in the chin muscle. This will cause it to relax and the chin will look smoother.
Within 3 to 5 days the first effect becomes visible, and after approximately 2 weeks the full result can be seen. The results last for approximately 3 to 4 months; this varies per person. Regular repeat treatments are recommended to maintain the effect. At Noveve Aesthetics, we focus on natural results to prevent an expressionless face. We always start with the minimum dosage and adjust after two weeks if necessary.
Safety
Botox treatments are generally very safe but may have some side effects such as bruising, swelling or redness. Rare complications include facial asymmetry, infection and a crooked smile. In very rare cases, botox may spread to other parts of the face or an allergic reaction may occur. With this treatment, it is specifically important to note that if the Botox reaches one of the surrounding muscles, the mouth may be more difficult to open and the smile may be temporarily asymmetrical.
Before a botox treatment, it is important to avoid blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin, for several days to minimise bruising. Always consult a physician before stopping such medication. After the treatment, we recommend not touching the treated area and not lying flat for the first 4 to 6 hours. This prevents the botox from migrating to surrounding muscles. It is also advised to avoid physical exertion for the first 24 hours, as well as sunbeds and saunas. Always follow the specific instructions from the physician for optimal results and recovery.

FAQ
Dimples on the chin, also known as orange peel skin, are caused by an overactive chin muscle (the mentalis muscle). Through repeated contraction, irregularities develop that resemble the skin of an orange.
The first results become visible within 3 to 5 days. After 2 weeks, the botox has fully taken effect and the chin looks smooth and even.
Yes, these treatments complement each other well. Botox relaxes the chin muscle for smooth skin, while filler can improve the shape and projection of the chin. We will advise you on this during the consultation.
The effect lasts on average 3 to 4 months. The treatment can then be repeated to maintain the smooth result.
