Cosmetologists note that for the first time, Botox in the chin is done at a fairly mature age, since the lower part of the face begins to bother women last. Much earlier, crow's feet, creases in the forehead and bridge of the nose, as well as nasolabial folds appear. The appearance of problems in the area below the lip indicates that the lady has entered a new age phase. Lumpiness and flabbiness treacherously reveal the real age of the owner of the chin. With the help of timely injections from an experienced cosmetologist, you can correct the situation and deceive nature for some time.
The essence of the procedure
The main active ingredient, botulinum toxin, is protein in nature. Produced by anaerobic gram-positive bacteria of the genus Clostridium (the causative agent of botulism). Essentially, it is a powerful poison. There is still controversy over its use in cosmetology.
The goal of Botox injections into the chin is to relax and immobilize the muscles that support the skin.
Injections help:
- elimination of horizontal wrinkles in the lower jaw and small wrinkles around the mouth;
- correction of facial contours;
- raising the corners of the lips;
- narrowing of the oval;
- smoothing a sharp, protruding chin.
The procedure is popular both among older women and young women with massive facial features. Allows you to add elegance and sophistication.
Indications for botoxotherapy include:
- sagging cheeks (jowls);
- lack of clear facial contours;
- lumpy skin texture;
- flabbiness;
- horizontal wrinkles under the lower lip;
- overly gummy smile;
- nasolabial folds.
Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):
Botox injections into the masticatory muscles are carried out for those who have hypertrophy - the muscles are pumped up so that the face does not look like a bulldog. Due to the increase in the lower part of the face, it acquires a square configuration. After injections of botulinum toxin, the muscles relax, the tone decreases, and the shape of the face approaches the generally accepted norm.
Reviews of Botox in the chin
Reading reviews can convince or dissuade you from carrying out the manipulation. There are many of them on the Internet, since the described procedure is in demand.
We invite you to read several reviews from recent cosmetologist patients:
Margot, 46 years old:
“I mostly heard the opinions of opponents of Botox. There are no supporters of his in my circle. And this despite the fact that no one has tried the procedure on themselves. I decided to do it because I began to notice that my face was sliding down more and more. It was unbearable, and I went to a good, expensive cosmetologist. I felt like I was about to be shot. In the end, everything went perfectly. Everyone who scolded Botox calmed down. I became a demonstration in his favor.”
Aleftina, 43 years old:
“Previously I had injections in the forehead and cheeks. It's time for the chin. An ugly crease formed under the lip. I hurried to the cosmetologist so that the wrinkle would not take hold. Half an hour and I’m good as new.”
Evgeniy, 49 years old:
“Men rarely admit that they go to a cosmetologist. I am an actor, and external attractiveness is very important to me. I came in because of distinct wrinkles on my chin and forehead. The lower part was affected by my habit of pursing my lips. Just two injections were enough to fix my chin. He became even better than he was.”
Natalya, 38 years old:
“I didn’t think that at this age I would have a cobblestone chin. Something had to be done about it, so I went to a cosmetologist. When I heard that I needed Botox, I was scared. In fact, it turned out that it was not scary and did not hurt at all. Just 2 injections, and the effect lasts for six months.”

Indications
Botox injections into the lip area are used for various purposes. Main indications for the procedure:
- drooping corners;
- deformation;
- soft tissue deficiency;
- thin lips;
- violation of symmetry;
- wrinkles running from the corners of the mouth to the chin (“puppets”);
- uneven contour.
The drug is administered either into one lip or into both. If the goal of the procedure is to increase, give a more seductive shape, swelling, then the maximum effect can be achieved by combining botulinum therapy and fillers of hyaluronic acid, polylactic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite.
Popular drugs
Botox (USA) is a leader in the global market. The manufacturer is at the origins of botulinum therapy. There are several variants of the active substance with varying degrees of impact. The first results of the injections are visible within 4-5 days. However, they fully appear after 2 weeks and persist for 4 months. The cost of a unit of solution ranges from 400 rubles.
Botulax (South Korea) - has a relaxing effect on the masticatory muscles. It differs from the previous drug in its accelerated, but less long-lasting effect (the effect is noticeable 3 days after the injections, lasts no more than 3 months). Complications are rare. The average price of one ampoule is 200 rubles.
Dysport (France) - relieves muscle spasm in the injection area. Impulse transmission is restored gradually as nerve endings are synthesized. Typically this process takes up to six months. After this time, the drug is completely eliminated from the body. 1 unit of solution is equivalent to 2.5 units of American Botox. The cost in specialized stores is 150 rubles. per unit
Relatox (RF) is an effective domestically produced product. The dosage is the same as the analogue from the USA. The result is maximally accelerated - 30 minutes after the injections, while complete correction of defects occurs after 7-10 days and disappears within 4 months. Women who have tried the drug on themselves note that the injections are painful. The price of one unit reaches 350 rubles.
Xeomin (Germany) - allows you to quickly relax the injected muscle. The action begins on days 4-7 and lasts on average 3 months. Rarely produces serious side effects other than local transient irritation. 1 unit of botulinum toxin costs around 250 rubles.
Carrying out the procedure
A standard session takes up to 30 minutes and includes the following steps:
- The skin is cleansed and disinfected.
- Areas with increased muscle stiffness that influence the formation of wrinkles and creases are identified.
- According to the location of the muscles, points are applied with a marker to visualize future punctures.
- The skin is cooled with ice or local anesthetics are used.
- Botox injections are performed. When inserting the needle, the cosmetologist slightly stretches the skin, and when removing it, compresses it. This technique avoids the formation of bruises. For complete correction of the chin area, up to 6 units of the drug are required. For each client, the dosage is determined individually.
Upon completion of the procedure, the specialist observes the body’s reaction for half an hour. If there are no side effects, a plan for further visits is drawn up. Usually a repeat session is carried out no earlier than after 4 months.
Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):
In “advanced” beauty salons, during Botox injections, electromyography is performed - a qualitative and quantitative assessment of muscle tone. If relaxation is insufficient, the dose of the drug is increased.
Injection facial rejuvenation methods
Injection lifting procedures, according to the specifics of the action, can be divided into four groups:
- muscle blocking;
- rejuvenation with drugs;
- correction of volumes and shapes;
- creation of a skin frame.
The first group includes Botox and Dysport. This type of lift is described in more detail below. The second group includes mesotherapy, biorevitalization, collagen rejuvenation, plasma lifting. Using thin needles, the doctor injects various substances under the skin, the action of which is aimed at activating the functioning of cells. In mesotherapy, special cocktails are used - mixtures containing medications. Biorevitalization is the moisturizing and transformation of the skin using hyaluronic acid. Collagen injections are a popular method of improving skin quality, a hit of 2019. Plasmolifting is a non-surgical method of rejuvenation, which is based on the injection of enriched platelet plasma under the skin.
The third group includes fillers that differ in the duration of the effect. More details about contour plastic surgery are discussed below. Finally, the fourth category. In this case, the formation of a tightened skin frame is carried out by introducing mesothreads. Being biocompatible, they are not rejected by the body and dissolve over time. After administration, a collagen frame is formed around the threads, which remains after the drug is removed from the body.
Facial rejuvenation with Botox: advantages and disadvantages
Botox and its analogue Dysport are used to eliminate:
- "crow's feet";
- wrinkles in the corners of the mouth;
- folds in the area between the eyebrows;
- longitudinal wrinkles on the forehead.
Botulinum toxin immobilizes muscles that are involved in active facial expressions. Any wrinkle located in the injection area is smoothed out and becomes invisible. When the drug is administered correctly, relaxation of these muscles does not affect facial symmetry and overall appearance. You can do the same actions: smile, be surprised, frown. Emotions will be less expressed on the face, but still readable.
Pros of Botox injections:
- injections are carried out with a thin needle, the procedure is comfortable;
- no traces of injections remain;
- the recovery period takes a couple of days;
- existing wrinkles are smoothed out and “frozen,” as it were, and new ones do not appear at the injection sites throughout the entire duration of the drug.
After the session, you will forget about wrinkles for six months. The procedure is completely justified in terms of price and quality.
Disadvantages of the procedure:
- sometimes after administration of the drug, small bruises are observed for a couple of days;
- it is possible to develop inflammation at the injection site with improper care;
- a doctor with insufficient experience can disrupt the symmetry of the patient’s face;
- Abuse of Botox can create a “mask” effect.
To avoid side effects, trust the care of your beauty to experienced, certified professionals.
Rehabilitation period
Like any cosmetic procedure, botulinum toxin therapy does not exclude the possibility of complications. In order to minimize risks, it is recommended to adhere to certain rules.
During the first 3-4 hours after injections you cannot:
- take a horizontal position;
- touch your chin with your hands;
- do physical exercise and other activities that increase your heart rate;
- tilt;
- drink alcohol;
- take medications, including those that affect blood composition (paracetamol, antibacterial drugs, aspirin);
- wash.
After the session you may feel worse and have a headache. This is a normal reaction. It is common to experience bruising and swelling at the Botox injection sites. They disappear without a trace within two weeks.
We invite you to Botox party
Botox party
. It sounds mysterious and a little frivolous, quite French. Yes, this format of Botox injection came to Platinental straight from a closed clinic in Paris, where celebrities come from all over the world to inject themselves with Botox in an atmosphere of complete confidentiality, in a narrow circle.
It's clear. Since your Botox will not be noticeable to anyone, except perhaps those who saw you on the morning of the procedure, then why advertise your participation in it?
How is the procedure done? You and your friends (no more than 4 people) come to the Clinic at the time reserved for you, chat, listen to music. At a certain stage, the doctor injects everyone present with fresh
Botox.
At the same time, you will not only relieve tension, replacing it with a pleasant relaxed state and friendly communication, but also save on the cost of Botox.
What to do if you don’t like the result
There are exceptional situations when the procedure does not bring the desired effect and you want to quickly get rid of its consequences. In this case, there is a way to speed up the process of removing the drug from the body.
For this purpose, a specialist may prescribe:
- do facial massage regularly;
- perform physical procedures, in particular, steaming the skin;
- take medications and B vitamins.
An integrated approach allows you to eliminate the effect of botulinum therapy in one month. The main thing is to strictly follow the recommendations. It is important to consult with a cosmetologist about the timing of the start of the course. Premature treatment may worsen the situation.
Precautionary measures

- pathology of neuromuscular transmission;
- infectious processes;
- blood diseases;
- age under 18 years;

“We always take a comprehensive approach to solving problems of hypertonicity of facial muscles. First of all, we look for causes from the maxillofacial apparatus - we carry out a full diagnosis and examination, evaluate the functioning of the masticatory muscles, identify the patient’s characteristic habits and collect a medical history. If necessary, we refer the patient to specialized specialists - a neurologist, psychotherapist, etc. It is very important to cure hypertonicity - at least so that the patient in the future can safely begin high-quality dental restoration: implantation, prosthetics or treatment.”

Service cost
The final price of one session of Botox injections depends on the brand of the drug used and the required number of units.
It takes 4-6 for the chin area. If the cost of one, for example, is 200 rubles, then a complete correction, taking into account the work of a specialist, on average, costs 1,500 rubles.
However, some clinics and salons in Moscow offer the same procedure for 5000-6000. This difference is due to the peculiarities of how institutions position themselves in the cosmetology services market, the level of qualifications of employees and other factors.
Opinion of cosmetologists
According to experts, Botox injection therapy for the chin area is very effective. Allows you to quickly and safely eliminate aesthetic defects without surgical intervention. At the same time, it is important to use high-quality products from well-known companies and in no case turn to self-taught people without a diploma, since working with the lower part of the face requires professionalism and extreme caution.
