简要总结
The study recruited 40 subjects and divided them into an intervention group and a waiting list group in a 1:1 ratio using a randomized controlled trial. The changes in skin health and aging-related indicators before and after TCM cosmetic acupuncture treatment were analyzed. The subjects are of all genders and aged between 30 and 60 years old. The TCM cosmetic acupuncture treatment is arranged twice a week for a three-week course. The study will conduct a skin test before and after the TCM cosmetic acupuncture, and use the Antera 3D smart skin detector to comprehensively evaluate the subjects' skin condition. Antera 3D Skin Detector can detect multiple skin indicators, including wrinkle depth, skin tone uniformity and subtle changes in the skin surface, melanin, red pigment, etc. After the treatment, the subjects' acceptance and satisfaction with TCM cosmetic acupuncture were collected.
