Overview
The muscles of the glabella are: Corrugator supercilii, Orbicularis oculi, Procerus, (and Depressor supercilii). All of these muscles are depressor muscles of the eyebrow and are characterized by their complex 3-D anatomy. Deep knowledge about these muscles is essential to understand where they are and what they do, to ultimately be able to treat them effectively with neuromodulators. Although no injection simulations are performed, this video is best suited for briefly freshen up on forehead anatomy prior to clinical treatments.
