Microneedling & Facial Rejuvenation

Microneedling and Cosmetic Acupuncture at Dao Integrated Health combine ancient Chinese medicine with modern techniques to improve skin health. These treatments offer a safer, non-invasive alternative for addressing wrinkles, age spots, scars, and acne, while also supporting overall wellness, including hair growth and chronic pain relief.

Microneedling and facial rejuvenation services by professional practitioner in San Francisco East Bay Area

How Microneedling Works

Using a pen-like device, tiny needles create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and dermal remodeling. Results can last 3-5 years, with noticeable improvements after a few days.

Cosmetic Acupuncture Benefits

This treatment enhances blood circulation, stimulates collagen, tightens pores, and lifts sagging skin. Additionally, it addresses whole-body concerns, improving digestion, reducing stress, and promoting energy balance.

Treatment Plans

A typical course involves 12 sessions, with complementary techniques like gua sha and cupping. Personalized care ensures both visible beauty and internal health improvements.

Consult your healthcare provider before starting treatments, especially if you are pregnant or have acute conditions.
