VAMP™ Bio-Revitalizing Solution
VAMP™ is a sterile topical bio-revitalizing solution formulated to support skin rejuvenation, hydration, and post-procedure recovery. It combines medical-grade Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) with hyaluronic acid, 11 vitamins, 23 amino acids, and 6 essential minerals to nourish the skin and enhance its natural repair processes. The solution is designed for professional use following treatments such as microneedling, microchanneling, and fractional laser procedures, where controlled microchannels can enhance delivery of active ingredients into the skin.
How Does VAMP™ Work?
Following treatments such as microneedling, ProCell Microchanneling, or LaseMD Ultra, thousands of microscopic channels are temporarily created in the skin. These channels allow VAMP™ to penetrate more effectively into the superficial layers of the skin, where its active ingredients can support the healing process.
The combination of PDRN, hyaluronic acid, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals helps create an environment that supports:
- Skin hydration
- Barrier recovery
- Improved skin texture
- Enhanced skin elasticity
- Reduction in the appearance of fine lines
- Improved skin radiance
- Healthier-looking skin after aesthetic procedures
Clinical and experimental studies suggest that PDRN may also help regulate inflammation and stimulate fibroblast activity, which plays an important role in collagen production and tissue repair.
What is PDRN?
Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) consists of highly purified DNA fragments derived from wild salmon. Because PDRN is highly biocompatible with human tissue, it has been studied for its ability to support tissue repair and skin regeneration. In aesthetic medicine, PDRN is valued for helping improve skin quality, hydration, elasticity, and the appearance of fine lines by promoting the skin’s natural healing response.
Key Ingredients
Medical-Grade PDRN
Highly purified polydeoxyribonucleotide (1 mg/mL in VAMP™) supports tissue repair and skin revitalization while helping improve skin firmness and elasticity. The manufacturer specifies the use of medical-grade, high-purity PDRN that meets stricter quality standards than cosmetic-grade materials.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid (5 mg/mL) attracts and retains moisture within the skin, helping improve hydration, plumpness, and overall skin smoothness.
11 Vitamins
The vitamin complex helps support collagen production, antioxidant protection, and overall skin vitality while contributing to improved skin tone and elasticity.
23 Amino Acids
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins such as collagen and elastin. They help support skin repair, improve elasticity, and strengthen the skin barrier.
6 Essential Minerals
Minerals contribute to healthy skin function, hydration balance, and maintenance of the skin barrier.
Benefits of VAMP™
VAMP™ may help improve:
- Skin hydration
- Skin texture
- Skin firmness
- Skin elasticity
- Overall skin radiance
- Fine lines and roughness
- Recovery following aesthetic procedures
- Healthy skin barrier function
Results typically continue to improve over the weeks following treatment as the skin’s natural repair processes take place.
What Can VAMP™ Be Combined With?
At VivaDerm, VAMP™ can be incorporated into several skin rejuvenation treatments, including:
- ProCell® Microchanneling
- Microneedling
- LaseMD Ultra (1927 nm thulium laser)
- Other professional collagen induction treatments
These procedures temporarily increase skin permeability, allowing the bio-revitalizing ingredients to reach the treated tissue more effectively.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
VAMP™ may be suitable for individuals looking to improve:
- Early signs of aging
- Dull or dehydrated skin
- Uneven skin texture
- Fine lines
- Skin recovery after professional aesthetic treatments
A consultation is recommended to determine whether this treatment is appropriate for your skin concerns.
Contraindications
VAMP™ treatment may not be suitable for everyone. Treatment should be postponed or avoided in the following situations:
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding (unless approved by your healthcare provider)
- Active skin infection (bacterial, viral, or fungal) in the treatment area
- Active cold sores (herpes simplex) in the treatment area
- Open wounds, cuts, or severe skin irritation
- Active inflammatory skin conditions such as severe eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis in the treatment area
- Active acne with cysts or infection in the treatment area
- History of keloid or hypertrophic scar formation
- Uncontrolled diabetes or medical conditions that impair wound healing
- Autoimmune diseases affecting wound healing or requiring immunosuppressive therapy (assessment required)
- Active cancer or undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy (medical clearance may be required)
- Bleeding disorders or use of anticoagulant medications that significantly increase bleeding risk
- Fever or acute illness on the day of treatment
- Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any ingredient in the VAMP™ formulation
- Allergy to fish or salmon-derived products (PDRN is derived from highly purified salmon DNA and should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity)
Before Your Treatment
Before your VAMP™ treatment, proper preparation is essential to help achieve the safest and most effective results. To help ensure the safest and most effective treatment, avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning for at least one week before your appointment. Please inform your practitioner of all medications, supplements, allergies, and medical conditions so your treatment can be tailored to your individual needs and any potential risks can be minimized.
Depending on your skin type and treatment plan, you may be advised to temporarily avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, or other potentially irritating skincare products before your appointment. Keeping your skin healthy and free from irritation allows the treatment to be performed under optimal conditions and helps support a smoother recovery process. Your practitioner will provide personalized guidance based on your skin concerns and medical history.
If you have a history of cold sores, especially around the lips, preventive antiviral medication may be recommended before treatment to reduce the risk of an outbreak. Following these pre-treatment instructions carefully helps prepare your skin for the procedure, promotes optimal healing, and contributes to the best possible outcome. If you have any questions before your appointment, our experienced team is always available to provide guidance and ensure you feel confident and well-prepared for your treatment.
