A new day, a new way of injecting neurotoxins—that’s what it can feel like with a single scroll of your For You page on TikTok. And while some injectable trends<\/a> are suspect at best, the whimsically named “jelly roll” Botox<\/a> is the rare one with staying power.<\/p>

In fact, the concept of injecting the under-eye muscles is decades old and, importantly, one that’s a little more finicky than your average forehead injection. (For the record: in this story, Botox<\/em> refers to any botulinum toxin, be it Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, or Jeuveau<\/a>.) With that, here’s what you need to know about jelly roll Botox.<\/p>

What is jelly roll Botox?<\/h2>

Jelly roll Botox is an injection technique in which a neuromodulator is injected into the muscle under the eye, which can fold up when you smile and create the namesake “jelly roll.” Relaxing the muscle shrinks the jelly roll—meaning the eye size stays open wider when smiling, says Dr. Samuel Lin<\/a>, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Boston.<\/p>

And while it seems buzzy, that’s only because of the name. Otherwise, it’s not at all a new technique. “I’ve been doing this for the past decade or longer,” says Dr. Melanie Palm<\/a>, a board-certified dermatologist in San Diego.<\/p>
