Chin Crease Overview

All you need to know about Chin Creases.

As we age the horizontal crease on the chin (the mental crease) can become very deep, sometimes with associated overuse of the associated muscle in the chin. The crease itself can look unattractive and aging, but the other issue is that when the muscle is contracted, the length of the chin can be shortened, which adds to an aged appearance, especially because a shorter chin in proportion to the other 2 upper and middle thirds of the face occurs with aging. To relax the muscle responsible for the mental crease can give a more attractive and youthful appearance.

The chin crease / mental crease can be treated by exerciseing with the ISO Metrik Device.

Wrinkles, a natural part of aging, are most prominent on sun-exposed skin, such as the face, neck, hands and forearms.

If your wrinkles bother you, you have more options than ever to help smooth them or make them less visible. Medications, skin-resurfacing techniques, fillers and surgery top the list of effective wrinkle treatments.
