In addition to being effective in the treatment of wrinkles on the forehead, frown lines and crow’s feet; BOTOX can be used to reduce wrinkles on the chin. Often called ‘pebbly chin’ (or ‘umeboshi’ in Japanese) due to its resemblance, this condition is caused by the movement of the mentalis and adjacent muscles.
