VAMP

PDRN Salmon DNA Facial

VAMP is a topical regenerative treatment applied immediately after in-clinic procedures that gently impact the skin barrier, such as microneedling, RF microneedling or laser treatments. These techniques create microchannels in the skin, allowing active ingredients to be more readily absorbed. VAMP takes advantage of this optimal moment to deliver its performance-driven formula beneath the surface, where it can be most beneficial.

Its star ingredient, PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotides), is a DNA compound derived from salmon, known in regenerative medicine for its supportive role in skin repair and renewal. With a 96.5% similarity to human DNA, PDRN is well-recognized by skin cells and helps stimulate key biological processes, including the production of collagen and elastin.

Unlike volumizing treatments, VAMP doesn’t alter facial contours—it works in harmony with the skin’s natural functions. Its formula also includes hydrating hyaluronic acid and four essential amino acids, such as glycine and proline, which contribute to skin resilience and collagen support.

Used after professional treatments, VAMP helps support visible improvements in hydration, texture, and overall skin quality. It’s particularly suited for skin showing signs of dullness, dehydration, uneven tone, or temporary sensitivity following advanced procedures.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

Personalized Assessment

Every treatment begins with an in-depth consultation with a medical aesthetic expert. Your skin is evaluated to determine if VAMP is the right complement to your microneedling, RF microneedling, or laser treatment.

Step 2

In-Clinic Procedure

Your selected skin treatment is performed to create controlled microchannels in the skin, optimizing absorption. VAMP is applied immediately afterward to deliver active ingredients directly into the deeper layers of the skin.

Step 3

Post-Treatment Protocol

Following the procedure, your expert will guide you through proper post-care recommendations to support healing and maximize results. This may include avoiding certain products, sun exposure, or makeup for a short period.

Step 4

Progressive Improvement

Over the days and weeks following your session, the skin gradually appears more hydrated, even-toned, and resilient. Depending on your goals, your expert may recommend a series of sessions for optimal, long-term results.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

VAMP is typically recommended as part of a treatment series to support progressive skin improvement. Depending on your goals, a personalized in-clinic plan may be recommended, including multiple sessions spaced over several weeks. Maintenance treatments can also be scheduled periodically to help sustain hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality over time.

Contraindications

VAMP is well tolerated for most patients when applied post-procedure. However, it is not recommended for patients with known allergies to fish-derived ingredients (PDRN is sourced from salmon DNA); individuals with active infections or open wounds in the treatment area and pregnant or breastfeeding individuals (as a precaution).

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is PDRN and Why Is Salmon DNA Used?

PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a DNA fragment derived from salmon sperm that supports the skin’s natural repair and regeneration processes. Its molecular structure shares a 96.5% similarity with human DNA, which allows it to be recognized by skin cells and can support key biological functions, such as collagen production, tissue regeneration, and anti-inflammatory responses.

How Does PDRN Work in the Skin?

PDRN is designed to work as a biological messenger, triggering cellular activity that supports skin repair. It activates fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin, which improves firmness and elasticity. It also encourages cell turnover, helping replace damaged or aged skin cells with newer, healthier ones, and contributes to reducing inflammation by modulating cytokine activity. When applied after treatments that temporarily disrupt the skin barrier—like microneedling, RF microneedling, or laser—PDRN penetrates more effectively into the skin, enhancing hydration, accelerating recovery, and promoting a smoother, more resilient complexion over time.

Can PDRN be injected in Canada?

No. While injectable PDRN treatments (like Rejuran) are available in countries such as South Korea, Health Canada does not currently authorize the injectable use of PDRN-based products. At our clinics, PDRN is used topically only, applied immediately after treatments that create microchannels in the skin. This method complies with Canadian regulations and still allows the active ingredient to be absorbed effectively after treatment.
