To investigate the effects of facial temperature and blood flow rates generated by Miso Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture treatment. Ten women in their twenties to fifties with no skin diseases were recruited. Miso Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture(MFRA) was performed on the both sides of their face. We measured their facial temperature using Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging(DITI) and blood flow rates using Laser Doppler Perfusion Imaging(LDPI) at pre-treatment, immediately, twenty and sixty minutes after treatment. We analyzed data using student’s t-test(p<0.05). After MFRA treatment, facial temperature on the measurement area increased immediately from 30.5 ± 1.0℃ to 31.5 ± 1.0℃, a statistically significant increase. Sixty minutes after treatment, facial temperature on the measurement area decreased a little bit(30.2 ± 0.6℃), but there was no statistical significance. After MFRA treatment, facial blood flow rates on the measurement area increased immediately from 165.1 ± 52.3 PU to 342.7 ± 51.3 PU, a statistically significant increase. Sixty minutes after treatment, facial blood flow rates measurement area were recovered almost at the same level as before treatment. MFRA treatment could increase facial temperature and blood flow rates.
