Chin Botox in Seoul
Chin Botox is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to relax overactive chin muscles that cause dimpling, puckering, or uneven texture, often referred to as an “orange peel” chin. By reducing excessive muscle contraction, this treatment helps create a smoother and more balanced lower facial appearance.

What is Chin Botox ?
Chin Botox involves injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin into the mentalis muscle. This muscle controls chin movement and lip support and can become overactive, leading to visible dimpling or tension in the chin area.
