Jelly Roll Botox Technique, Units, Risks, Cost

Jelly Roll Botox, a relatively new cosmetic procedure, has caused a stir in the beauty industry. It offers people a non-surgical technique to get smoother, younger-looking skin.

The injectable Botox is frequently used to treat wrinkles, including crow's feet, which are creases on the outside corners of the eyes, and the 11 lines, or glabellar lines, on the forehead between the eyebrows.

What is Jelly Roll Botox?

Botox injections under the eyes are commonly referred to as "jelly roll" injections. The term "jelly roll" refers to a little muscular protrusion that some people experience under their eyes when they smile or squint. This muscle is relaxed by Botox, which results in a smoother skin surface and no protrusion.

Jelly Roll Botox is a unique procedure in which diluted Botox is injected into the skin. Jelly Roll Botox targets the superficial layers to smooth out the skin and minimize pores, as opposed to regular Botox, which targets the deeper facial muscles to reduce wrinkles.

Technique

Jelly Roll Botox targets the small muscles responsible for facial expressions such as beaming, squinting, and frowning. The process decreases the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles and gives the skin a smoother, more polished appearance by relaxing these muscles.

Botox fundamentally targets the nerves underneath the epidermis of the face. It targets these nerves and prevents them from releasing certain chemical signals. This, in turn, eliminates their ability to contract, and it is this relaxation (rather than tense contraction) that makes your skin look smoother and less wrinkled.

Units

The quantity of Botox units required for the eyes varies based on the area being treated. 8 units per eye are typically enough to address under-eye bags, according to plastic surgeons. The glabellar lines and crow's feet, which each require 24 units on both sides, are two places surrounding the eyes that may need extra units.

Risks

Jelly Roll Botox is usually thought to be safe, but as with any medical procedure, there are certain risks. The following are some possible risks and adverse effects of Jelly Roll Botox:

• Bruising, swelling, or little soreness at the injection site that subsides quickly
• Eyelid drooping or inability to close the eyelids
• Eye numbness or lower eyelid swelling
• Bruising, bleeding, vertigo, or fainting
• Pain at the injection site

Cost

The price of Botox varies by location and by specialist. Depending on the quantity, type, and location of the facility, Botox can cost anywhere from $300 to $1100. Injections of cosmetic Botox are normally not covered by insurance, thus patients must pay out of themselves.
