The purpose of this study was to examine influence of Opunitia humifusa and MTS (Microneedle therapy system) in the women¡¯s facial skin. The subjects were divided into experimental group (n=14) and control group (n=14). The experimental group was applied Opunitia humifusa and MTS of on facial¡¯s right and control group was offered no management of on facial¡¯s left. Experimental program was held for 30 minutes each time, once a week for eight weeks. Facial skin condition (moisture, sebum, roughness, pore, wrinkle, pigmentation) were analysed during the experiment. A significant increase of skin moisture was found in experimental group (p<.001). Also significant decrease of skin sebum, roughness, pore, wrinkle and pigmentation was found in experimental group (p<.001). But significant improvement of facial skin was not found in control group (p>.05). These result indicate that MTS could bring to desirable change to skin condition. Therefore these extracts from MTS and Opunitia humifusa might be good material for skin care and cosmetic.
