What does a BTX Jelly Roll entail?

The BTX Jelly Roll treatment is designed to minimize wrinkles and fine lines under the eyes. These wrinkles can develop due to aging, reduced skin elasticity, and sun exposure.

Interesting to know: the skin under the eyes is more fragile than the skin elsewhere on the face, and the eye muscles are some of the most active muscles in our body. This means wrinkles can quickly appear there. As we age, these wrinkles can give us a tired, and sometimes dissatisfied, appearance.

How does the BTX Jelly Roll treatment work?

This aesthetic procedure involves injecting a small amount of BTX into the muscles around the eyes. BTX blocks nerve signals to the muscles, causing them to relax and soften wrinkles.

The procedure is typically performed with a fine needle. It is a quick treatment and is generally experienced as minimally uncomfortable. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur after the treatment, but these effects usually disappear quickly.

Procedure steps:

  1. Discuss your wishes with the doctor.
  2. Determine the best approach together.
  3. Before-treatment photos of the area to be treated.
  4. The treatment area is disinfected.
  5. Injection of BTX with a thin, sterile needle.
  6. You can usually resume your daily activities immediately.
  7. Compare the results using before-and-after photos.
  8. No recovery period; you can resume your daily life immediately.

Expected results:

The first signs are usually visible within 3-5 days, with the full effect visible after 10-14 days. The skin around the eyes will appear firmer, giving you a rejuvenated look. This effect typically lasts 3 to 4 months. Repeating the treatment can extend the duration of the effect.

Before and after the procedure:

Precautions:

  • Avoid alcohol 24 hours before treatment.
  • Do not take blood-thinning medication 24 hours before the procedure.
  • Do not be pregnant or breastfeeding.

Aftercare:

  • Avoid lying down or bending over for 4 hours after treatment.
  • Do not smoke or exercise within the first 24 hours after treatment.
  • Do not massage the treated area for 24-48 hours.
  • Avoid applying makeup to the treated area for 24 hours.

FAQ

Using a thin needle, muscle relaxant injections are administered into specific facial muscles. These injections block the signals between the nerve and the muscle. This leads to reduced muscle activity, making wrinkles and lines less visible, or even disappearing completely.

Wrinkles begin to fade within 2-8 days after the injection. The optimal effect is visible after about 4 weeks. This effect lasts between 6-8 weeks. From 8 weeks onwards, the effect gradually diminishes. After 12 weeks, the effect is approximately halved, and after 4 months, 80% of the effect has disappeared. Many patients choose to repeat the treatment every 3-4 months, but this varies from person to person. Men, athletes, and those with a more muscular build may require larger and more frequent doses.

Although wrinkle injections are a medical procedure performed by a doctor and carry some risks, they are generally considered safe with a low risk of complications.

  • Bruising and swelling at the injection site are common.
  • Mild headaches occur after the injection in about 10% of cases, usually lasting no longer than 24 hours.
  • Drooping of the eyebrow or eyelid occurs in 2% of patients and can last up to 3 weeks.
  • Multiple treatments are sometimes necessary for optimal results.
    Infections are very rare.

The treatment is minimally painful. There’s a slight prickling sensation during the injection and a brief burning sensation. While the treatment itself only takes about 5 minutes, there are preparatory steps such as taking photos, signing a consent form, and disinfecting, making the entire appointment approximately 30 minutes long.

Your aesthetic doctor, Dr. Kim Detollenaere, may advise you to avoid frowning or making other facial expressions for the first few days.

  • Avoid pressure on the treated area for the first 24-48 hours.
  • Do not touch or massage the treated area, especially within 24 hours.
  • Wait at least 6-8 hours after the treatment before applying makeup, or preferably until the next day.

A follow-up appointment is usually scheduled approximately two weeks after your initial treatment to assess the results. Regular treatments are recommended to maintain the effects; you can discuss this with your doctor during your appointment.
