Abstract

This study has been conducted to find out the effect Gol-ki therapy has on right and left facial symmetry. For clinical human trials, 16subjects, 20-35 year old males and females, were selected according to the clinical research facility`s standardized procedures of subject qualification criteria. From January 1st to March 15th, 2013, 16 subjects were provided with 20 Gol-ki therapy sessions within 10 weeks. Gol-ki therapy`s effect was evaluated after administration in the same environment for 20 sessions, within the span of 10 weeks. Facial asymmetry in 2 dimensional right and left comparison improved by 14.06%, EX-Al and Ch-Go symmetry reduced by each 1.34mm,3.13mm, thus showing that Gol-ki therapy has an impact on facial right and left asymmetry. Additionally, Gol-ki therapy subjects positively rated customer satisfaction categories at an average of 3.5.
