The term "Jelly Roll Under Eye" Botox refers to the treatment targeting the small bulges or rolls that can appear beneath the eyes when smiling or squinting. These bulges are a result of the hypertrophy (enlargement) of the orbicularis oculi muscle, which encircles the eye. This Botox treatment is a non-surgical procedure that utilizes Botulinum toxin (Botox) to minimize the appearance of under eye wrinkles and fine lines. By relaxing the muscles around the lower eye, it effectively reduces the bunching that typically occurs when a person smiles.
A small amount of Botox treatment is injected into the lower portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle, just under the lash line. By relaxing this muscle, the 'jelly roll under eye' effect is reduced, leading to a smoother appearance in the under-eye area when smiling.
Smoother Appearance: Reduces the puffiness or bulging that occurs when smiling.
Youthful Look: Helps achieve a more refreshed, youthful eye area.
Subtle Enhancement: The treatment is relatively subtle and enhances the under-eye area without the need for fillers or more invasive procedures.
Considerations:
Precision Required: 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.
Temporary Results: The effects typically last around 3-4 months, similar to other Botox treatments.
