Procerus
Posted on 30th Jul 2020 / Published in: Face
General information
Procerus is a small, triangular muscle in the head that occupies the glabella, the area between the eyebrows. The muscle, along with the nasalis, levator nasolabialis and depressor septi nasi, make up the facial muscles nasal group.
Literal meaning
The tall, slender muscle.
Interesting information
Procerus, like the other facial nerves, originates from the second pharyngeal arch. When it contracts, the procerus muscle allows frowning, which makes it important in human facial expressions.
Origin
Nasal bone, (superior part of) lateral nasal cartilage.
Insertion
Skin of glabella, fibres of frontal belly of occipitofrontalis muscle.
Function
Depresses medial end of eyebrow, wrinkles skin of glabella
Nerve supply
Temporal, lower zygomatic or buccal branches of facial nerve (CN VII).
Blood supply
Angular and lateral nasal branches of facial artery.
Relevant research
The ‘Procerus sign’ remains an important clinical clue for early Progressive Supranuclear palsy. ‘Procerus sign’ has been described as vertical wrinkles in the glabella region and bridge of the nose of patients with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. The action of Corrugator and Orbicularis Oculi produce the vertical wrinkling.

Procerus exercises
Eyebrow lift (one sided)
Lift one eyebrow as high as possible. Then relax. Repeat on the other side.
The Procerus: Shaping the Brow and Emotional Expression
The procerus muscle sits at the bridge of the nose and is responsible for creating vertical frown lines between the eyebrows. While it’s small in size, its effect on facial emotion and upper face aging is powerful. The procerus communicates subtle expressions—like concern, stress, and intensity—and its overactivity or weakening can significantly impact the aesthetics of the forehead and brow region.
Anatomy & Function
- Origin: Nasal bone and upper part of the lateral nasal cartilage
- Insertion: Skin between the eyebrows and forehead (glabella region)
- Function: Pulls the skin between the eyebrows downward, creating vertical glabellar lines
- Nerve Supply: Temporal and lower zygomatic branches of the facial nerve
- Synergistic Muscles: Corrugator supercilii, frontalis, orbicularis oculi
The Problem: Facial Tension & Aging at the Glabella
Over time, the procerus can become overused, especially in individuals prone to frowning, squinting, or concentrating. When paired with underlying bone loss in the nasal and frontal regions, this leads to:
- Glabellar wrinkles or “11 lines” between the eyebrows
- A heavier or drooping brow
- Tension headaches or strain between the eyes
- A more stern or aged appearance, even at rest
Inactivity, on the other hand, can cause the area to flatten and lose expressiveness, making the upper face appear dull or tired.
The ISO Metrik Device: Indirect Support for Procerus Activation and Balance
While the procerus is not directly targeted by the ISO Metrik Device, the device contributes to upper facial relaxation and muscular harmony by activating the midface and lower facial muscles, reducing the need for compensatory movements from the brow and forehead region.
How the ISO Metrik Device Helps:
- Activates the zygomaticus system, relieving upward tension that contributes to brow overuse
- Improves facial muscle balance, reducing habitual frowning or eyebrow clenching
- Encourages natural muscle coordination between the midface and upper face, softening lines over time
- Reinforces the overall facial lift, which can reduce downward drag on the glabella and brow
For users who chronically overuse the procerus, the ISO Metrik regimen can help redistribute expression, allowing the eyes, lips, and cheeks to carry more emotion, reducing strain on the upper face.
Why the Procerus Matters
The space between your eyebrows carries more emotional weight than most people realize. The procerus helps you communicate intensity, focus, and authenticity—but when it becomes overactive or unsupported, it can also age your expression prematurely.
The ISO Metrik Device promotes muscular harmony from the inside out—supporting the full facial system so the procerus doesn’t have to work overtime.
