What is Pebble Chin?
Pebble Chin, also known as an “orange peel” chin, describes the appearance of a chin that is uneven and not smooth. People can also be born with chin dimples or cleft chins which can really affect their self-confidence.
This condition often affects adult men and women of all ages. Over time, as the skin loses its volume, this can have a permanent effect. At Este Medical Group, we strive to offer treatments to help all our clients feel and look their best.

Causes of a Pebble Chin
A pebble chin can be caused because of excessive flexing of the chin. It can also be caused by ageing, as the chin muscles will lose volume over time. Sometimes the muscle in this area can move involuntarily, this causes dimples or a pebbled like appearance to the skin on the chin.
This condition is easily treated to relax the chin muscles that cause the uneven appearance.
Treatments for a Pebble Chin
We target the chin area through the use of wrinkle relaxing injections that works to reduce and relax the movements of the muscle. In this case the muscle that is treated is the mentalis muscle (chin muscle).
Botox ®
Botox® is injected into the targeted area, temporarily freezing the muscle so that it can no longer cause the skin to crease or fold. When the muscles are hindered from working, the skin can relax.
Visia Digital Skin Analysis
When we use the Visia Digital Skin Analysis to assess your skin, we are using a tool that allows us to see deep below the surface layer of your skin and detect a multiple of potential concerns. This advanced technology allows us to pick up on issues such as spots, wrinkles, texture, pores, UV spots, scars, red areas, porphyrins and more.
Frequently Asked Questions
Smoking is also said to cause acne in older people. Whatever the underlying reasons as to why you have acne, it all results in one thing – hair follicles becoming blocked by sebum from surrounding sebaceous glands, and dead skin cells. These plugged hair follicles can either turn into whiteheads or blackheads, and if the (usually) harmless bacteria that lives on our skin then infects the follicles, you can even experience cysts, papules, nodules or pustules. None of which are any fun for the person having to deal with them.
Our skincare experts take time to get to know and understand your acne concerns and issues, and only then will they make an informed decision as to which acne treatment is the best for you. That could be:
- lightfusion™ Light Therapy
- Skin Peels
- Pixel Laser Resurfacing
You do not need to stop wearing makeup if you have acne. However, you should wear makeup that is non-comedogenic. This means that it doesn’t block the pores.
Not necessarily. As mentioned above, acne can be caused by a number of triggers, and however much you clean your face it’s not going to affect how crazy your hormones are being. Sometimes, cleaning your face too much can even contribute to acne as it can aggravate spots.
Furthermore, using alcohol-based cleansers can dry your skin out and this isn’t a good thing as far as acne is concerned. Despite what you may think, and even if you feel like you have excessively oily skin, it’s still important to use a moisturiser – just make sure you opt for a non-comedogenic one.
Everyone is different, but acne – more often than not – does eventually go away. For many, it’s puberty that can kick things off and acne often settles down when puberty does. However, acne can sometimes persist into your adult years.
That said, our skincare specialists have worked with many clients who wanted their acne to disappear and felt like they had tried everything. As you will see from our success stories and testimonials, we have had hugely positive and effective results.
