"Stony" beard

The treatment to reduce the so-called ‘stony chin’ effect involves smoothing the irregular skin texture on the chin, which resembles the texture of stone. The wrinkles and depressions that appear in this area as a result of excessive contraction of the chin muscle can give the face a fierce or tense expression. Botulinum toxin injection allows the relaxation of this muscle, resulting in a leveling of the chin skin and a more harmonious appearance of the lower face.

Preparation: Consultation with a doctor to assess the tension of the chin muscle and the condition of the skin. Usually without anesthesia, although sometimes an anesthetic cream is used.

Procedure: Short injections of botulinum toxin into the chin muscle to relax the muscle and smooth the chin. The procedure lasts approximately 10 minutes, with no rest required afterward.

Effects and longevity: Visible after 3-7 days, full effect after two weeks, lasts 3-6 months; possibility of repeating the treatment to maintain the effect.
