Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to examine the improvement against facial wrinkles after needle-embedding therapy. Methods: The study participants were 10 women treated with needle-embedding therapy in the Korean Medical Clinic from September, 2011 to August, 2014. The subjects were treated every ten days for twenty days, totally three times, and the result of treatment was evaluated five times, such as pre-treatment, after each treatments, one month and two months later of the last treatment with ARAMO-SG. Results: 1. Depth and range of facial wrinkles, facial skin pore test, and sensitivity test were visibly improved after needle-embedding therapy and follow-up compared pre-treatment (p<0.05). 2. The significant improvements in facial skin texture test was not observed and sustained until the follow-up measurement at 2 months. 3. Any adverse reaction related to needle-embedding therapy did not happen. Conclusions: This study suggests that needle-embedding therapy can improve facial wrinkles. The positive results of this study support the requirement for additional research investigating the efficacy of needle-embedding therapy in women.
