[The corrugator supercilii muscle. A review].
Corrugator supercilii is a facial, forehead and supra-orbital muscle. The frown glabellar wrinkles are mainly formed by repeated contractions of this muscle. These wrinkles will produce the picture of premature ageing even in a young person. Many treatments reduce or abolish the action of this muscle, enhancing the appearance of the glabellar area. We propose to review the recent material related to the anatomical characteristics of this muscle in order to build the necessary knowledge to optimize the result of these different treatments.
