The mechanical vibration and low frequency stimulation are known to have a physical and physiological effects. We conducted clinical experiment to confirm the effects of the breast management device with vibration and low frequency stimulation on the breasts of 32 women. The respondents applied the device on both breast for 1 hr per day during 6 weeks. Parameters related with breast volume and lifting as well as skin elasticity before and after experiment were measured. The elasticity parameters (R0~R9, F0~F1) were calculated from deformation curve by suction using Cutometer MPA580. Breast volume parameters showed significant increase in both breasts. Breast showed significant increase in elasticity, which indicates increase of skin elasticity and skin recovery, and decrease of tiring effect. In conclusion, we suggest that massage treatment with combined vibration and low frequency stimulation in a long term use could improve the volume and elasticity of breast.
