Cover Story: Facial complexion, skin tone, and esthetic appearances have been evaluated using various instruments and survey methods. We created a facial check sheet (FCS) to assess the satisfaction levels of patients who underwent cosmetic acupuncture and other facial skin rejuvenation procedures. The FCS is a simple and practical tool to evaluate facial appearance. The FCS is designed to determine the level of concern regarding 12 facial appearance items rated by the 5-Point Likert Scale. The relationship between the FCS items and self-observatory facial status is presented in this paper. View this paper
