Anti-wrinkle for a pebble chin
A "pebble chin" is a dimpled, uneven, orange-peel-like texture on the chin. It happens for a few reasons — most often frequent use of the chin muscle, and the natural loss of volume in the area as we age. Some people notice dimples or a pebbled appearance that becomes more obvious over time.
A quick anti-wrinkle treatment can soften that texture by relaxing the muscle responsible. In as little as 15 minutes you can have your treatment and head straight back to your day — pop in on your lunch hour, evening or weekend.
Every treatment is carried out by a trained, insured professional at our clinic in the heart of Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter, just 10 minutes from the city centre.
What is a pebble chin, and how is it treated?
When the skin on your chin starts to resemble a pebbled or dimpled surface, it's often down to the chin (mentalis) muscle working hard, combined with ageing and genetics. The result is that uneven, orange-peel look.
A small dose of botulinum toxin is injected into the chin. Once it takes effect, it temporarily reduces the nerve signals that tell the muscle to contract — so the muscle relaxes and the skin over it looks smoother and more even.
Who is pebble chin treatment for?
This treatment suits adults in good general health who are bothered by a dimpled or pebbled chin and want a smoother finish. It's a quick, non-surgical option with no downtime — ideal if you'd like a subtle refinement of the chin area.
It isn't suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or if certain medical conditions apply (the full list is further down the page). That's why every treatment starts with a consultation — so we can check it's right for you, answer your questions and set realistic expectations before anything goes ahead.
Looking after your results
- Stay upright for around 4 hours after your treatment.
- Avoid touching, rubbing or massaging the chin for 24 hours.
- Skip strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours.
- Avoid heat treatments — saunas, steam rooms and sunbeds — for about 2 weeks.
- Hold off on makeup over the area for a few hours.
- Results develop over 3–14 days, so be patient at first.
- We can arrange a review to check you're happy.
Before & after your treatment
What to expect
The treatment takes around 15 minutes. As a needle is used, you may feel a small scratch as it enters the skin, but this isn't usually painful. Afterwards you may notice some stinging or slight bruising at the injection sites — temporary effects that settle quickly.
Anti-wrinkle injections take several days to take full effect, so don't worry if you don't notice a change in the first few days. This is normal.
How to prepare
- Avoid alcohol for 48 hours before your treatment.
- Let us know about any prescribed or non-prescribed medication you're taking.
- Avoid over-the-counter anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen for 48 hours beforehand.

- Impaired healing (e.g. due to immunosuppression)
- Skin atrophy (e.g. chronic oral steroid use, or syndromes such as Ehlers-Danlos)
- Sensitivity or allergy to botulinum toxin or its constituents, or a milk allergy with certain products
- Neuromuscular disorders (e.g. ALS, Lambert-Eaton syndrome, myasthenia gravis or myopathies)
- Gross motor weakness in the area (e.g. Bell's palsy or stroke)
