Our Procedures

At Dao Integrated Health we are blending time-tested traditional chinese medicine (TCM)

practices with advanced modern techniques to help you look and feel your best.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that works by creating microscopic, controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface.

This process activates the skin’s natural healing mechanisms, stimulating collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

The microchannels formed also enhance the absorption of nourishing serums, maximizing their effectiveness.

Dr. Christine Dao ensures a gentle, precise approach tailored to your needs, helping to reduce fine lines, improve texture, and revitalize your complexion.

It’s a proven, science-backed method for facial rejuvenation.

From $375

Cosmetic Acupuncture

Dr. Christine Dao specializes in combining microneedling with cosmetic acupuncture for exceptional skin rejuvenation results.

Her unique method begins with microneedling to stimulate collagen production and create pathways for nutrient absorption.

Between sessions, she integrates cosmetic acupuncture to amplify these effects by improving blood flow, enhancing skin elasticity, and reducing inflammation.

This personalized, integrative approach not only accelerates visible improvements but also ensures optimal, long-lasting skin health.

Under Dr. Dao’s expert care, you’ll experience the transformative power of this scientifically backed and holistic technique.

From $125

Red Light Therapy

LED red light therapy is a powerful complement to microneedling, enhancing the skin’s healing and rejuvenation process.

Red light penetrates deep into the skin, stimulating cellular repair. It also reduces inflammation, soothes redness, and promotes faster recovery after microneedling.

At Dao Integrated Health, we offer Red Light Therapy as an add-on to microneedling, providing 15-20 minute sessions designed to enhance your results.

A Step-by-Step Guide to

Your Microneedling Journey

Step 1: Consultation & Skin Prep

A brief discussion

Upon your arrival, we will have a brief discussion about your skin’s current condition and your skincare goals, which we will work toward through your microneedling treatments.

Skin Prep

We will begin your treatment by wiping your face off with a micellar wipe to remove any oils or left-over product.

Step 2: Desensitizing for Comfort​

Lidocaine cream is applied

To reduce the minimal pain from this procedure, we will then apply a layer of lidocaine cream to your skin. Lidocaine takes 8-10 minutes to take effect.

Custom serum preparation

Our microneedling specialist will mix a proprietary serum designed to target the issues you want resolved. This serum base is hyaluronic acid with the addition of traditional herbs that will target your skincare goals. All of our serums are built on a base of Hyaluronic Acid, with carefully selected proprietary herbs added to enhance their effectiveness.

Skin Prep

Once the lidocaine has done its work, we will wipe it off with a new micellar wipe and will start the microneedling.

Optional Add-On

You may opt in or out of receiving a gentle acupuncture treatment for no additional fee.

Step 3: Microneedling Begins

Custom serum is applied

Your microneedling specialist will apply your personalized serum to your face.

Microneedling tool is used

The microneedling tool is moved over your face with the serum to help it penetrate deeper into your skin. This process will increase circulation and stimulate collagen, elastin and keratinase. We will use a microneedle for most of the facial area. We can also target the sensitive tissues beneath the eyes with a nanoneedle.

Step 4: Post-Treatment & Aftercare

Excess serum removal

After your treatment is complete, we will wipe the serum off your face with a fresh micellar wipe.

Optional Add-on

 If you have chosen to opt into a red light therapy add on, we will set you up with that treatment at this point.

Skin Prep

Once this is done, we will apply a thin layer of aloe for you and you may be on your way home.

Benefits of choosing microneedling from an

Acupuncturist over Other Specialists

If you’re looking for a natural, whole-body approach to skin rejuvenation with added benefits beyond just collagen production, an acupuncturist is an excellent choice for microneedling.

1. Holistic Approach to Skin Health
  • Acupuncturists view the skin as a reflection of overall health, considering factors like circulation, energy flow (Qi), and internal imbalances that may contribute to skin concerns.
  • We incorporate Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles to enhance skin healing from within, such as dietary recommendations, herbal remedies, or facial acupuncture alongside microneedling.
2. Gentle, Natural, and Balanced Techniques
  • Acupuncturists often use a more conservative approach, focusing on skin rejuvenation without aggressive treatments or harsh chemicals.
  • We will integrate body acupuncture to support overall skin health, stress reduction, and hormonal balance, which can improve skin conditions like acne, rosacea, or premature aging.
3. Pain Management and Enhanced Comfort
  • With extensive training in needle techniques, acupuncturists are skilled at creating a comfortable and minimally invasive experience.
  • We will use acupuncture points to naturally reduce pain and inflammation, potentially minimizing discomfort during and after treatment.
4. Improved Circulation and Healing
  • TCM techniques help optimize blood flow and lymphatic drainage, accelerating skin repair and reducing post-treatment swelling or downtime.
  • Acupuncturists often emphasize internal healing, promoting long-term skin benefits rather than just surface-level improvements.
5. Customized, Whole-Body Wellness Approach
  • Unlike standard cosmetic microneedling, we will assess stress, digestion, hormonal imbalances, or inflammation, which all impact skin health.
