Chin Dimples
Wrinkle Relaxer Treatment
Dimples appear in the chin when we pull certain faces or express ourselves. It is a normal function of the facial muscles, however some patients may have concerns about the aesthetic appearance of the dimples.
The chin is formed by the mentalis muscle and the jawbone. This can be hyperactive or can be a little too large which many don’t like and find undesirable. Sometimes the muscle in this area can move involuntarily, this causes dimples or a pebbled like appearance to the skin on the chin. These dimples can be relaxed with the use of a wrinkle relaxer product.
Wrinkle Relaxers are made up of botulinum toxins that, when injected into the facial muscles, temporarily block local nerve impulses that trigger contractions. This softens wrinkles and prevents even more lines from forming. As it is prescription only medication, it can only be administered by a medical professional at one cosmetic.
It’s important to understand that wrinkle relaxer treatment is not a permanent solution, the result lasts for 3-4 months. If you have no further treatments the muscles will return to their normal function and lines will gradually go back to how they looked before injection.
Price
The cost of wrinkle relaxer treatments are dependent on the dose required. Wrinkle relaxer treatments are not one size fits all. During your consultation our team will assess the area and give you a quote on treatment.
Benefits of wrinkle relaxers:

What is involved?
The treatment involves thoroughly cleaning the area first. Your practitioner will then mark up the area and determine where the toxin should be injected. A number of small injections will be completed by a very small needle. You will then be explained the aftercare.
Your wrinkle relaxer appointment will take about 15-30 minutes from start to finish. As soon as the series of injections is completed, you can go back to your regular activities.
At One Cosmetic, we use only the most advanced range of wrinkle relaxers. Due to Australian guidelines, we cannot use brand names online, however we stock the two leading brands available.
