Overview
The frontalis muscle is the only eyebrow elevator we have and upon muscular contraction this muscle can cause horizontal forehead lines. For the treatment with neuromodulators, a deep understanding of frontalis muscle anatomy is important to achieve superior outcomes with a reduced adverse events profile. Although no injection simulations are performed, this video is best suited for briefly freshen up on forehead anatomy prior to clinical treatments.
