Overview

“Jelly rolls” are the small bulges that appear under the eyes when smiling, often due to overactive orbicularis oculi muscles. Neurotoxin injections in this area help reduce the appearance of puffiness and smooth the under-eye contour for a more refreshed look.

What to Expect

• Treatment Time: 5–10 minutes
• Discomfort: Minimal; the skin is thin, but the procedure is quick
• After Effects: Mild swelling or bruising may occur temporarily
• Results Timeline: Visible change starts around day 4; full effect by 10–14 days
• Duration: Usually lasts 2–3 months

Pre-Treatment Care

• Avoid blood thinners, alcohol, and caffeine for 24–48 hours
• Refrain from applying under-eye creams or makeup prior to treatment
• Alert your provider if you’ve had undereye filler or eye surgery
• Stay hydrated and well-rested

Aftercare

• Do not rub or apply pressure to the area for 24 hours
• Avoid sleeping face-down or applying eye masks the night of your treatment
• No heavy workouts or heat exposure for at least 24 hours
• Resume skincare and makeup after one day if needed

Contraindications

You should not receive this treatment if you:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have eyelid droop (ptosis) or lower eyelid laxity
• Have had recent laser or filler treatments near the eyes
• Have a known sensitivity to neurotoxin
• Have a muscle or nerve condition

Additional Notes

• Works best on dynamic bulging (visible only when smiling), not permanent fat pads
• May be paired with undereye filler or microneedling for full under-eye rejuvenation
• Dosing is conservative to avoid eyelid heaviness
