Objectives Wrinkles on the face are a typical phenomenon of aging. Surgery and various conservative treatments have been performed to improve facial wrinkles. Surgery has many side effects, and other conservative treatments have little or no effect. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a case in which gold thread implantation acupuncture safely improved facial wrinkles for a long time and effectively. Methods The thickness, length, and number of gold thread implantation acupuncture were performed differently according to the patient s condition in 4 women in their late 40s to mid 60s, whose facial wrinkles progressed or worsened. The evaluation before and after the procedure ranged from 3 months to 6 months. The effect was evaluated by the Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS). Results Facial wrinkles were significantly improved after gold thread implantation acupuncture. After 3 months or 6 months, there was no discomfort or pain after treatment. Conclusions Gold thread implantation acupuncture with facial muscles or subcutaneous tissue is a conservative treatment that can improve facial wrinkles without any side effects.
