Microneedling may sound intense, but it's one of the most effective (and versatile) treatments in the cosmetic world—and in this episode, Dr. Dustin Portela and PA Austin Lee go deep. They break down how microneedling works, what it’s used for (from acne scars to fine lines), and how to do it safely. Whether you're considering in-office treatments or eyeing a home device, you'll learn the difference between derma rollers, stampers, and high-end radiofrequency tools—and why technique, hygiene, and expectations matter. Plus, they share historical trivia (hello, 600 CE!), insider advice on prepping your skin, and a surprisingly thoughtful conversation about salmon sperm facials.
