Pebble chin—sometimes called orange peel or cobblestone chin—is caused by overactivity of the mentalis muscle. When this muscle contracts too strongly, it creates a dimpled or pebbled texture in the chin that becomes more noticeable with facial movement or at rest.
At MD Wellness Center & Med Spa in Indianapolis, we offer a targeted, non-surgical solution to smooth pebble chin and restore a relaxed, even chin appearance—without surgery or downtime.
All treatments are performed by Dr. Srinivasu Kesa, MD.
Pebble chin—also known as orange peel chin—is a muscle-related condition, not a skin or aging issue. It occurs when the mentalis muscle in the chin contracts too strongly, pulling the skin inward and creating a dimpled or puckered appearance. This texture may appear only with movement or be visible even when the face is at rest.
Unlike other facial concerns that involve volume loss or skin laxity, pebble chin is caused by excessive muscle contraction. Treatment focuses on calming the mentalis muscle to allow the skin to lie smoothly over the chin.
A small, precise amount of neuromodulator is injected into the mentalis muscle to reduce overactivity.

Pebble chin is mainly a muscle-related condition caused by overactivity of the mentalis muscle. When this muscle contracts strongly, it pulls the skin inward and creates a dimpled or “orange peel” texture. While aging and skin thinning can make it more noticeable, the root cause is muscle movement rather than a primary skin issue.
