Jelly Roll Botox: The Under-Eye Treatment Everyone’s Talking About

Summary Box

• Jelly roll Botox is a simple procedure that erases the roll of skin under eye area. It shows whenever you squint or smile.
• The procedure is fast, subtle, and does not require any downtime, that is why it is an ideal option if you need a quick fix and do not want a surgery.

 

What Is Jelly Roll Botox?

Jelly roll Botox is a solution to minimise that puffy roll under your eyes. Some women find it cute every time they smile or squint, but others think it makes them look tired or old.

Injecting Botox into the lower portion of the orbicularis oculi, can relax and smooth them enough without compromising your natural smile. Jelly roll Botox just tones down the muscle, and it is a much more superficial lift.

How Does Jelly Roll Botox Work?

Botox, also known as botulinum toxin, does its work by preventing the nerve signals from telling the muscle to contract. An injected micro dose under the lash line will relax the muscle so that it does not scrunch up as tightly.

The result:

• A more smooth, less puffy under eye
• A face that can still move expressively
• Lasting results for 3 to 4 months

• Natural results: No one would notice that you did a treatment, They will just notice the great results.
• Confidence boost: You will feel your best self after seeing the result.

Ideal Candidates for Jelly Roll Botox

Not everyone dealing with under eye concerns is a good candidate. Ideal candidates are:

• People with muscle related bulges, not fat pads, that show every time they smile or squint.
• Younger individual with elastic skin.
• Anyone seeking subtle, short-term results instead of a dramatic change.

It is not ideal if you have:

• Fat related permanent under eye bags
• Hollowing or sagging skin.
• Eye circles not caused by muscle contraction.
