Dubbed the “salmon sperm facial” by influencers, the VAMP™ treatment is a biorevitalizing solution infused with a powerful blend of vitamins, amino acids, minerals and PDRN for skin rejuvenation and revitalization. It gives your skin a beautiful GLOW quickly and effortlessly.
PDRN is the ingredient behind all the hype. PDRN stands for polydeoxyribonucleotide—a purified compound composed of short DNA fragments derived from salmon. It supports stem cells by increasing their bioactivity and gives your skin the building blocks needed for cellular repair and DNA synthesis.
In cosmetic applications, PDRN is used to support cellular renewal and tissue remodelling. Within the VAMP formula, it works alongside vitamins, amino acids, and minerals to complement microneedling-induced rejuvenation.
Why Salmon DNA?
Salmon DNA is considered a reliable source for highly purified PDRN. In aesthetic use, it is valued for its biocompatibility and support of the skin’s natural regeneration pathways. Salmon DNA is most similar to human DNA.
The VAMP Formula
The VAMP formula is packed with powerful ingredients, including vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and PDRN. The following illustration breaks down the benefits associated with each ingredient.
Microneedling
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. The tiny punctures unleash the skin’s repair mechanisms, leading to increased collagen and elastin production.
As a standalone treatment, microneedling can address:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars and other types of scarring
Uneven skin tone and texture
Enlarged pores
Because microneedling induces natural healing, it is suitable for most skin types and tones. Clients love that microneedling is minimally invasive with little to no downtime.
The Powerful Pairing of VAMP & Microneedling
We thought PRP was a good pairing. VAMP is all that with a bag of chips! When VAMP is used, the microchannels allow the biorevitalizing solution to penetrate deeply, delivering the vitamins and minerals the skin needs to remodel and heal quickly. The PDRN, along with small amounts of HA, is the secret ingredient that helps restore that regenerative glow.
After two treatments, you can expect:
Hydrated, smoother skin texture
Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
Tighter, resilient skin
Reduced pore size
Treatment Plan
Most clients benefit from a series of treatments spaced 3–6 weeks apart.
Downtime & Aftercare
Redness/feeling of heat for 24–48 hours is common.
Avoid vigorous exercise, hot tubs/saunas, and direct sun exposure for 24–48 hours.
Temporarily stop exfoliants/retinoids and use a gentle cleanser and broad-spectrum SPF daily.
Contraindications
The VAMP facial may not be a suitable treatment if you have any of the following conditions:
Allergy or hypersensitivity to any ingredient in the VAMP formula
Severe acne or severe rosacea flare
Active eczema or psoriasis in the treatment area
History of keloid scarring or abnormal wound healing
Autoimmune disease under active treatment management or immunotherapy
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
