Evaluation of improvement was conducted with patient-report questionnaires and comparison of before and after pictures.

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.
