Biohacking Beauty: The Anti-Aging Skincare Podcast

What if the best way to rejuvenate your skin isn’t lasers, peels, or expensive devices, but teaching your skin to repair itself?In this episode, Joel Marshall, Founder and CEO of Dp Derm joins us to reveal how modern microneedling has evolved from rollers and stamps into the precision of the Dermapen 4. We explain how controlled micro-injuries stimulate natural collagen production, break down scar tissue, and restore youthful function without the risks of heat-based treatments. He also shares why so-called radiofrequency microneedling is misleading and potentially harmful.We also explore the role of exosomes, NAD⁺, vitamin C, and licorice root extract in amplifying results, along with why pre-treatment preparation and post-care are essential for long-term outcomes. Joel’s mission is clear: make skin health accessible and effective through science-driven protocols, not marketing gimmicks.Joel Marshall is the Founder and CEO of Dp Derm, the US home of DermapenWorld, and a global leader in professional microneedling technology. He has pioneered safer, smarter, and more effective approaches to skin rejuvenation.We Also Discuss:(00:01) Microneedling Uncovered: Why Tiny Injuries Transform Skin(06:59) Lasers vs. Needles: Why Heat Isn’t Always Better(12:10) The RF Controversy: Why It’s Not True Microneedling(18:45) Inside the Industry: The Hidden Challenges of Microneedling(25:00) Exosomes Explained: The Future of Skin Regeneration(35:45) Supercharging Skincare: Can Microneedling Really Boost Absorption?(45:38) Red Light, Cold Plunge, and Microneedling—What Actually Works?(48:41) Truth or Hype: The Biggest Microneedling Myths ExplainedFind more from Young Goose:Blue Peptide Spray – Cellular hydration meets antioxidant power → Blue Peptide SprayAmplifying Essence – Prime skin for deeper absorption → Amplifying essenceThe YouTH Firming Body Cream: Smoother arms, firmer thighs, tighter skin, powered by NAD+ and spermidine.

Most people hear “copper peptide” and think “trend”. But GHK-Cu isn’t new, it’s a naturally occurring bioregulator your body already uses to repair, rebuild, and rejuvenate skin.In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, we break down why GHK-Cu deserves its cult status in longevity skincare. We also unpack how this tripeptide binds copper to signal fibroblasts, activate collagen and elastin genes, and restore damaged tissue at the cellular level. You’ll learn why 3% is the sweet spot for results without irritation, how GHK-Cu works synergistically with retinol, vitamin C, methylene blue, and NAD+, and what makes pharmaceutical-grade sourcing critical for performance.If you’ve ever wondered whether GHK-Cu can truly “reset” aging cells or how it compares to retinol, this episode connects the dots between biochemistry and visible results, showing how small, precise molecules can drive profound, measurable change in your skin’s longevity.What's Discussed:(00:00) What makes ghk-cu more than a “trendy copper peptide”(02:20) How fibroblasts, collagen genes, and epigenetics work together(07:19) Why 3% ghk-cu is the sweet spot for results without irritation(10:22) Retinol, vitamin c, and ghk-cu,  the synergy your skin actually needs(18:24) Methylene blue, nad+, and the ultimate skin longevity stackFind more from Young Goose:Blue Peptide Spray – Cellular hydration meets antioxidant power → Blue Peptide SprayThe YouTH Firming Body Cream: Smoother arms, firmer thighs, tighter skin, powered by NAD+ and spermidine.

Exosomes aren’t just a buzzword, they’re nanoscale messengers that deliver the body’s own repair instructions. In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, we unpack the science of platelet-derived, or “vampire,” exosomes and how they go beyond conventional growth factors to target aging at its root. You’ll learn how microRNA inside platelet exosomes can reduce senescence signals, trigger collagen and elastin renewal, and activate autophagy for deeper cellular repair. The hosts also explore how formulation stability, ingredient compatibility, and third-party quantification make or break an exosome product. If you’ve ever wondered how PRP exosomes compare to traditional PRP facials, or why pairing them with NAD-boosting actives can amplify skin longevity, this episode explains the real mechanisms behind the hype, helping you understand what it takes for skin to truly act younger, not just look it.What's Discussed:(00:00) Redefining Skin Longevity Through Cellular Repair(06:07) How Exosomes Became the Next Frontier in Regenerative Skincare(16:00) Why Platelet-Derived Exosomes Deliver the Most Potent Repair Signals(23:54) The Real Anti-Aging Data Behind PRP Exosomes(32:35) Exosomes vs. Retinoids, Fillers, and Lasers, What the Evidence Shows(46:30) Elevating Repair Capacity: Exosomes Meet Rejuve NADFind more from Young Goose:Vampire Exosomes: Experience the world’s highest-potency exosome serum here → Vampire ExosomesUse code PODCAST10 to get 10% off your first purchase, and if you’re a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% off at https://www.younggoose.com/    Instagram: @young_goose_skincare
