Do Microneedling, Baby Botox & Skin Boosters Really Work?

Listen now: Skin Deep MDs Podcast – Latest Treatment Trends Episode

Hey glow-getters! You’ve seen the TikToks, scrolled past the before-and-afters, and maybe even wondered if a “lip flip” is your secret to a perkier pout. But let’s be real—are these treatments worth it or just more clever marketing?

We broke down the biggest trending procedures—from microneedling + PRP to baby Botox and Skinvive—to give you the real-deal derm stamp of approval (or not 👀).

Whether you’re a skincare junkie or aesthetics newbie, this episode is packed with the tea, the science, and the sass.

💉 Treatments We Cover:

  • Baby Botox vs. Traditional Botox

  • Lip Flip vs. Filler

  • PRP vs. PRF (What’s the difference?!)

  • Skin Boosters (hi, injectable moisturizer👋)

  • What’s natural, what’s nonsense, and what’s worth it

💡 Key Moments to Tune In For:

[01:48] – Botox vs. Baby Botox: Why derms hate the name “baby Botox” and who it’s actually for.

[04:20] – Preventative Botox Myth-Busting: Does starting early mean you’re stuck doing it forever? Nope—and here’s why.

[08:12] – Why “just the forehead” Botox might backfire: Spoiler: it could make you look older. 😬

[11:40] – Heavy brows, hooded lids & Botox gone wrong: What your injector should be warning you about.

[15:22] – Lip Flip vs. Filler: Real talk from all 3 of us—we’ve tried both and here’s the scoop. 💋

[22:03] – PRP vs. PRF Explained: From vampire facials to hair regrowth, we break down what works, what’s hype, and who it’s best for.

[28:10] – Why we love PRP with microneedling: Less redness, faster healing, better glow. Yes please.

[34:55] – Injectable moisturizers?! What the heck are skin boosters, and are they worth your coin?

[41:19] – When Skinvive isn’t a good idea: Yes, we love the glow, but here’s when it can go sideways.

[47:44] – The Consultation Rule: Why you probably shouldn’t expect treatment at your first visit (and what to do instead).

Our Takeaway Tips:

  • A good provider won’t overfill you—they’ll make you look like you, just well-rested.

  • Most treatments don’t replace good skincare—they amplify it.

  • Come in with concerns, not Pinterest screenshots. What works for your friend may not work for you.

  • Be realistic—aging well is a marathon, not a one-treatment sprint.

Next up on the pod: We’re diving deep into lasers, radiofrequency microneedling, exosomes, and Sculptra vs. filler. Don’t miss it.
