BOTOX® Cosmetic is widely known for its ability to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, but its applications extend beyond the forehead and crow’s feet. One lesser-known yet highly effective use is mentalis BOTOX® injections, which target the mentalis muscle located in the chin.
The mentalis muscle plays a crucial role in the movement and expression of the lower face. Over time, repeated movements can cause dimpling or a “cobblestone” appearance on the chin, as well as the development of a deep chin crease. These issues can contribute to an aged or tense appearance, which some people find undesirable.
Injecting BOTOX® Cosmetic into the mentalis muscle relaxes it, smoothing out the skin and reducing the appearance of dimples and creases. This treatment can be particularly beneficial for those who are concerned about a pebbled chin or an overly prominent chin crease. The results are subtle yet significant, providing a more youthful and relaxed appearance without the need for invasive surgery.
Mentis BOTOX® is a quick, minimally invasive procedure with results that typically last three to four months. As with any cosmetic treatment, it’s essential to consult with a qualified professional to ensure the best outcome. Whether you’re looking to soften a strong chin crease or simply achieve a smoother chin profile, mentalis BOTOX® offers a targeted solution with minimal downtime.
