Abstract
- Recently, oriental treatments, including facial asymmetry correction, skin elasticity enhancement, and scar treatment, have been increasingly used for cosmetic purposes. These treatments include moxibustion and various acupunctures including thread-embedding therapy. Herein, we report two cases of facial scar development following moxibustion for acne scars and thread-embedding therapy for correcting nose shape in an Oriental medical clinic aiming to raise awareness about the adverse dermatological effects of oriental treatments for cosmetic purposes.
