Botox for the Lower Face: Addressing Marionette Lines and Chin Dimpling
Let’s talk about two areas that are often overlooked but make a big difference in how we age: marionette lines and chin dimpling. These subtle yet impactful concerns in the lower face can create an expression that feels disconnected from how you actually feel on the inside.
At Beauty Energy Exchange, we completely understand how overwhelming it can be to decide what to do—or where to go—especially with all the options out there. If you’re worried about looking fake or frozen, I want you to know: you’re in the right place for botox in San Diego.
Thankfully, Botox, when used with intention and precision, can gently soften these features and restore balance.

Understanding Marionette Lines and Chin Dimpling
Marionette lines are the creases that extend from the corners of the mouth downward toward the chin. Over time, as collagen breaks down and gravity takes its toll, these lines can deepen—giving the appearance of sadness or fatigue, even when you feel perfectly content.
Chin dimpling, or what’s sometimes referred to as a “pebble chin” or “orange peel chin,” happens when the mentalis muscle (the one that helps control the chin) becomes overactive. This can exaggerate texture and shadowing in the lower face, contributing to a prematurely aged appearance.
These changes are natural—but if they’re bothering you, you don’t have to just accept them.

The Art of Subtle Enhancement with Botox
Botox is commonly known for its work on forehead lines and crow’s feet, but its benefits go far beyond that. When skillfully applied to the lower face, Botox can:
Relax the muscles that pull down the corners of the mouth (specifically the depressor anguli oris)
Soften marionette lines by lifting and supporting the mouth's corners
Smooth chin dimpling by calming the overactive mentalis muscle
Create overall facial harmony, so your outer expression better matches your inner vitality
One of the things I love most about using Botox in the lower face is how nuanced it can be. This isn’t about erasing every line—it’s about restoring balance, softness, and confidence. My approach is conservative and personalized. I always start with a thorough consultation to understand your goals, facial anatomy, and lifestyle. Less is more—especially when it comes to the lower face.

What to Expect from Treatment
The treatment itself is quick, virtually painless, and requires no downtime. Results gradually appear within 3–7 days and typically last 3–4 months, depending on your unique facial structure and metabolism.
Most clients tell me that friends and family can’t quite pinpoint what’s different—they just say they look well-rested or “like themselves again.” That’s the beauty of a tailored, professional approach.
