Cause

Why orbicularis correction is needed

The orbicularis oculi is the muscle that tightens and closes the eyelid when you shut your eyes, and it runs in a ring around the eye.
When aging reduces the elasticity of the orbicularis oculi muscle, the skin and fat around the eyes sag along with it.
For this reason, correcting the orbicularis oculi muscle is what allows naturally youthful eyes.
