Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine and report improvements of facial wrinkles with the use of subcision. Methods : Subcision acupuncture was performed on outpatients with facial wrinkles for one to two times. Evaluation of improvement was conducted with patient-report questionnaires and comparison of before and after pictures. Items for satisfaction and adverse events were included in the questionnaire, and it was filled out after treatment. The photographs were taken three times; before the first and the second subcision acupuncture, and two to four weeks after the second subcision acupuncture. Results : The results from questionnaire and photo comparison were reported positive and satisfactory. There were minor adverse events such as bruise or conspicuousness of other wrinkles that were not treated. Conclusions : Our study results suggests that the use of subcision acupuncture is effective for facial wrinkles.
