Procerus muscle. This is the big fan shaped muscle in the middle of the brow marked with the red crosses in the image below. The Procerus muscle causes horizontal frown lines.
Corrugator Supercilii muscles. These are the muscles stretching out above the eyebrows marked with the green ticks in the image below. The Corrugator Supercilii muscles cause vertical frown lines.
Depressor Supercilii muscles. These are the muscles on the sides of the Procerus muscle, although some people see these muscles as part of the Procerus muscle.
