Microneedling — Myths, Methods, and Real Results

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. 🚨 PRODUCT OF THE WEEK: https://go.shopmy.us/p-19418136 Follow Us: Dr. Portela TikTok: @drdustinportela Instagram: @drdustinportela YouTube (Reactions): @208SkinDoc YouTube (Educational): @drdustinportela Pinterest: @DrDustinPortela Austin Lee TikTok: @austinleepac Instagram: @austinleepac Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @drdustinportela   📒 Show Notes and Resources 📒 🧴Recommendations: QURE Micro-Infusion Facial System: https://go.shopmy.us/p-19418136 QURE LED Face Mask: https://amzn.to/4mTS3LD Connect with me by text message! https://urlgeni.us/textthedoc Get Lifetime Discounts on Neutrogena, EltaMD & More at the SkinStore https://airehealth.com/DrDustinPortela Click here now to shop My Amazon Skincare Recommendations: https://urlgeni.us/amazon/amzon 🎧 Listen to the podcast here: Watch Skinfluence on YouTube: https://bit.ly/4ctXgEW iHeart Radio: https://ihr.fm/3Gl2XJe Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3G5qEVS Spotify Podcasts: https://spoti.fi/4cxbx3y ---- ►Connect with Dustin Portela: Text Me Here: sms:+1 208-203-0767 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/drdustinportela Instagram:   / drdustinportela   Facebook:   / drdustinportela   ---- ► Subscribe to My Channel:    / drdustinportela   -- DISCLAIMER: This video and description contain affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, I’ll receive a small commission.
