The Effect of Skeletal Muscle Therapy on Facial Size Changes for 20s and 30s Men
ABSTRACT
This study was to observe and quantify the effect of facial size changes in 20s to 30s male through skeletal
muscle therapies. The study targeted 20 to 30s male who resides in Seoul metropolitans, Republic of Korea,
and agreed on the purpose and intent of this study. The research underwent at a 5-week time frame. The
experimental target consists of a 10 males of Skeletal Muscle Therapy (SMT) group and another 10 males of
Manual Technic (MC) group based on a 15-minute survey equally for these two groups. All measures were
undertaken based on a pre-facial care measure, 1 facial care measure, 5-facial care measure and 10-facial
care measures. Both groups had marked significant facial size changes. However, the facial care with SMT
group had been proven that it was more effective and apparent relatively. Thus, further in-depth research which
overwhelms age group, residence area, method of therapy or yo-yo effect should be required for the future
work for the sake of better understanding on the SMT.
