This study was to investigate two things: the effect of facial lifting, and the effect of management of the craniofacial on the reduction of facial size by using silver tools in 20 middle-aged women in Gwangju City. The participants of the study were divided into two groups, 10 people had craniofacial management using silver tool, and 8 people had meridian massage. They took the experiments twice in a week for 30 minutes. The experiments took 5 weeks for 10 times of managements. The subjects measured their face before the experiment, using the 4D face scanner and contour lines, and after 1 time, 5 times and 10 times experiments, analyzed the facial changes again. After the experiments, participants conducted a survey for satisfaction. Experimental measurement ranges were distance, surface distance, volume, and total volume. This study compared the results of before and after experiment. The results of meridian massage group showed that there was statistical difference between before the massage to after first massage, fifth massage, and tenth massage(p <.05). However, there was no significant change when the massage was received less than 5 times, but more than 5 times, there was increased of the reduction width. In contrast, the craniofacial massage using a silver tool showed statistically significant difference in all experiments (p <.05), and the largest decrease was occurred before and after first time massage. It showed that having an effect even one time management. The total volume decreased 50.46 from 484.68 before the experiment (p <.05) to 434.22 after 10 treatments, and the value decreased steadily as the number of treatments increased. This study indicated that the craniofacial management using silver tool has the effect of reducing the facial size.
