Particles.

Looks like actual geometry to me. Notice the lines around the outside.

Not necessarily, it can probably be accomplished more easily and more efficiently with a curved mesh and an additive particle shader with either UV animation on the texture or by offset movement, depending on the texture’s structure. Not all special effects are particle effects.
