What the frontalis muscle does is elevate the eyebrows and the corrugator supercilii, orbicularis oculi, and procerus play a role in its depression.
The contraction of your frontalis muscles causes horizontal forehead wrinkles.
The frontalis muscles are two large fan-like muscles that extend from the eyebrow region to the top of the forehead.
Your frontalis muscle originates from the galea aponeurotica and inserts at the skin of the eyebrows and nose.
Our frontalis muscle plays a very significant role in day-to-day social interactions.
As the only muscle that raises the eyebrows, the frontalis muscles function goes beyond simply keeping the brows out of one's visual field; it is also necessary for conveying emotions and nonverbal communication.
A problem that can occur with the frontalis muscle is strain.
Frontalis strain manifests through pain across the forehead or tension headaches.
The best way to relieve strain on this muscle is to either rest it and apply a cool compress or gently massage the forehead.
Massage stimulates blood flow to the forehead and can relieve frontalis muscle tension.
Eyebrow exercises target the frontalis muscle, which raises the eyebrows.
It's also essential for emotional expression and nonverbal communication.
Strengthening this muscle can help improve facial symmetry and overall muscle control, making creating expressions like shock and surprise easier.
Upper eyelid dermatochalasis often triggers frontalis hyperactivity in an effort to elevate the upper lids away from the visual axis.
Similarly, prior neuromodulator treatment of the brow depressors may cause false elevation of the brows, diminishing the extent of preoperative brow ptosis or dermatochalasis.
