Jelly Roll Botox is currently a hot topic on beauty websites, especially on TikTok. It is considered the ideal solution to help you look young and fresh again.
We all suffer from wrinkles under our eyes, or bags under our eyes when we smile. This makes your face look tired and older than it actually is. Luckily, Jelly Roll Botox is the ideal solution to help you look young and fresh again. Dr. Nguyen Van Cuong said: “Botox is currently approved by the FDA to treat moderate to severe forehead wrinkles, wrinkles and crow’s feet, but some unofficial uses of this injectable have been recognized such as botox injections to treat underarm odor (prevent sweating), jaw reduction and even migraine treatment. And more recently, botox has been added to the beauty list with the term #JellyRoll Botox (Medical term JellyRoll is a bulge of the lower eyelid muscle – lower eye bags) because of its ability to “erase” wrinkles and under eye bags.
What is the Jelly Roll Botox craze?
Jelly Roll Botox is primarily used to reduce wrinkles and puffiness under the eyes. Eye wrinkles occur due to aging, loss of elasticity, and sun exposure; and the eye muscles are the most active muscles in the body. No wonder you get wrinkles fast! As we age, these wrinkles and puffiness under the eyes make our eyes look tired and sometimes even irritable.
Dr. Cuong said: “Wrinkles form on your lower eyelids when the orbicularis oculi (the muscles surrounding the eyes) contract and create a small ‘roll’ in the lower eyelid, especially when smiling. Jelly Roll Botox helps reduce puffiness, making the eyes appear wider and giving an overall more youthful appearance. The treatment works by relaxing the muscle from spasm, thereby preventing the formation of wrinkles and giving a smooth appearance under the eyes. Typically, just one to five units per eye are enough to make an impact, but the amount of toxin used must be adjusted to achieve different aesthetic results. It is also important to note that while gel botox can be an effective treatment for those looking to improve under-eye puffiness, it is not the right treatment for other under-eye conditions you may be dealing with, such as dark circles.”
Benefits of Jelly Roll Botox
First, a lesson in the aging process of the skin under the eyes. Wrinkles occur when the skin under the eyes shrinks as the muscles in this area contract with the lower eyelid. Some people have stronger orbicularis oculi muscles than others, which can make their eyes appear smaller when they smile. This, combined with the fact that the skin under the eye is particularly thin, can accentuate lines and bags under the eyes. Botox works by relaxing the injected muscle, and by relaxing the muscle under the eyes, bags cannot form. The treatment can also contribute to making the eyes appear wider, especially when smiling. This is because when you relax the upward pull of the orbicularis oculi muscle that surrounds the eye, it creates a rounder appearance.
Things to Consider About Jelly Roll Botox
Jelly Roll Botox is not a treatment for everyone, and the under-eye area is not an easy area to treat. It is important to note that if not done properly, Botox injections can aggravate problems. With repeated use, Botox injections in this area can also enlarge the muscles underneath the eye over time, making it look like bags or fat pads. Finally, older patients with excessive tissue laxity are not candidates for Jelly Roll Botox due to the risk of ectropion, a condition in which the skin on the eyelid protrudes away from the eye, which also puts them at a higher risk of not being able to close their eyes completely.
Other risk factors include puffiness if too much is injected. “The lymphatic drainage under our eyes depends on the contraction of the eye muscles, and if it becomes too loose, the area under the eyes can become puffy,” add the plastic surgeons at La Ratio Aesthetics. Patients who already have puffiness under their eyes when they wake up in the morning should probably avoid this treatment due to the increased risk of puffiness. In some cases, it can also lead to a change in your smile, as the eyes naturally squint when smiling, preventing this narrowing can result in an unnatural-looking smile. In all cases, you should consult a qualified injector to determine if you are the best candidate for Jelly Roll Botox.
