The orbicularis oculi is a paired facial muscle surrounding each eye and is part of the circumorbital and palpebral group. It works alongside the corrugator supercilii and levator palpebrae superioris muscles. Structure The orbicularis oculi has three parts: 1. Orbital part - Encircles the bony orbit and allows forceful closure of the eye. 2. Palpebral part - Located within the eyelids, enabling gentle closure (e.g., blinking). 3. Deep palpebral (lacrimal) part - Assists in draining tears by com

Botox relaxes this muscle, reducing these effects.

The depressor supercilii is a small but important muscle that often gets overlooked. 🔎 Key insights for injectors: It crosses the corrugator and is sometimes seen as a branch of orbicularis oculi. Function: contributes to frowning and medial brow depression. Clinical approach: usually treated alongside the glabella complex since it’s tightly meshed with the corrugator. Bonus effect: targeting it can give a subtle lift to the medial brow. 💡 Injector tip: Even though it’s small, ignoring the dep

ORBICULARIS OCULI is one of the many muscles of facial expression. The muscles of facial expression are the most superficial muscles in the body, and the orbicularis oculi is a muscle that surrounds the eye, and when it contracts, it closes the eye. This muscle is also responsible for the wrinkles at the corner of the eye, often referred to as “crows feet.” Because of this, this muscle is often a target for neuromodulators such as Botox. I recently attended a training on neuromodulators and derm
