Aging and pro­longed hyperactivity of the upper facial muscu­lature can result in transverse forehead wrinkles (frontalis muscles), brow ptosis/laxity (corruga­tor and orbicularis muscles), and glabellar wrin­kling (corrugator, orbicularis, and procerus muscles). Thus, the aim of rejuvenation proce­dures is to improve forehead rhytides, reverse brow ptosis, reduce or eliminate glabellar creases, and elevate the lateral eyebrow position.
