[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.
[目的] 在本研究中，对物理治疗中使用的低强度激光疗法（LLLT）、电针疗法（EA）和射频疗法（RF）对成年女性面部色素沉着和肤色的影响进行了研究，以提供皮肤干预的基础数据。[对象与方法] 将30名成年女性分为LLLT组（n = 10）、EA组（n = 10）或RF组（n = 10）。干预每周进行两次，每次15分钟，共六周。在干预前后观察受试者的肤色和色素沉着情况。[结果] EA组左右眼周以及左脸颊的色素沉着显著减少。RF组干预后左眼下方、左右眼周以及左脸颊的色素沉着显著减少。LLLT组前额和双眼周的肤色显著增加。RF组双眼下方的肤色显著增加。[结论] LLLT、EA和RF的应用对成年女性面部的色素沉着和肤色有积极影响。
