The term "Jelly Roll" Botox refers to the treatment of the small bulges or rolls that appear beneath the eyes when smiling or squinting. These bulges are caused by the hypertrophy (enlargement) of the orbicularis oculi muscle, which encircles the eye . Jelly Roll Botox treatment is a non-surgical procedure where Botulinum toxin (Botox) is used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles under the eye. By relaxing the muscles surrounding the lower eye it reduces the bunching seen under the eye typically when a person smiles.
A small amount of Botox is injected into the lower portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle, just under the lash line. By relaxing this muscle, the "jelly roll" effect is reduced, leading to a smoother under-eye area when smiling.
Jelly Roll Botox is ideal for individuals who notice prominent under-eye bulging when they smile but want a less invasive solution than fillers or surgery. The under-eye area is delicate, so it requires precise injections to avoid unwanted side effects like a droopy lower eyelid or changes in smile.
