[Purpose] In this study, the effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT),
electroacupuncture (EA), and radiofrequency (RF), which are used in physical therapy, on
the pigmentation and skin tone of adult women’s faces were investigated to provide basic
data for skin interventions. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty adult females were assigned to
either an LLLT group (n=10), an EA group (n=10), or an RF group (n=10). The intervention
was performed in two 15-minute sessions per week for six weeks. Subjects’ skin tone and
pigmentation were observed before and after the intervention. [Results] The EA group
showed significant reductions in pigmentation in the left and right eye rims, as well as
in the left cheek. The RF group showed significant post-intervention reductions in
pigmentation under the left eye, as well as in the left and right eye rims and the left
cheek. The LLLT group showed significant increases in skin tone in the forehead and both
eye rims. The RF group showed significant increases in skin tone under both eyes.
[Conclusion] The application of LLLT, EA, and RF had positive effects on pigmentation and
skin tone of adult women’s faces.
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of radiofrequency
(RF), electroacupuncture (EA), and low-level laser therapy (LLLT), which are used in
physical therapies, on facial wrinkles and moisture. [Subjects and Methods] A total of 30
female participants aged 30–55 years participated in this study and the results will be
used as a reference for further development of skin physical therapy. Thirty adult females
were assigned to an LLLT (n=10), EA (n=10), or RF group (n=10). The intervention was
performed in two 15-minute sessions per week for six weeks. Subjects’ skin tone and
pigmentation were observed before and after the intervention. [Results] Treatment of the
under eye area showed that wrinkles were significantly decreased on both sides after RF,
EA, and LLLT. Treatment of the eye rims indicated that wrinkles significantly decreased on
the right side after RF, EA, and LLLT. [Conclusion] The application of LLLT, EA, and RF
had positive effects on wrinkle and moisture content of adult women’s faces.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
