VAMP (Salmon DNA) Calgary
Harness the regenerative power of VAMP to hydrate and revitalize your skin.
I’m sure you’ve all heard of the “salmon sperm facial”. VAMP (Vitamins, Amino Acids, Minerals, and PDRN) is a non-surgical, microneedling-delivered treatment infused with purified salmon DNA (PDRN). Known for its biocompatibility with human skin, it’s injected directly into the dermis to improve your skin’s glow, hydration, and texture.
If you’re seeking to smooth fine lines, restore lost firmness, boost hydration, and reveal a luminous, youthful glow, VAMP is your answer. This minimally invasive and low-downtime procedure offers visible and long-lasting results. You’ll notice an immediate dewy glow, and enjoy firmer, healthier-looking skin.

At Point of View Medical Aesthetics in Calgary, our experienced clinicians harness the repairing power of VAMP delivered via precision microneedling to boost collagen, restore hydration, and reveal a brighter, firmer complexion tailored to your unique goals.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
VAMP’s salmon DNA delivers growth factors and nucleotides deep into the dermis, stimulating collagen and elastin production to smooth out crow’s feet, forehead lines, and other dynamic or static wrinkles.
Loss of Firmness & Elasticity
By jump-starting your skin’s natural repair mechanisms, VAMP helps restore structural support, lifting and firming sagging cheeks, jowls, and other areas where tissue has begun to weaken.
Dehydrated, Dull Complexion
The hyaluronic-rich carrier in VAMP draws moisture into the skin while salmon DNA encourages healthy cellular turnover—resulting in a dewy, radiant glow and long-lasting hydration.
Enlarged Pores & Rough Texture
Micro-needling channels allow salmon DNA to refine pore size and smooth uneven surface irregularities, improving overall texture and helping makeup apply more evenly.
Under-Eye Hollows & Dark Circles
Targeted VAMP treatments reduce shadowing and restore subtle volume under the eyes, minimizing the appearance of tiredness without heavy fillers or surgery.
Acne Scars & Post-Procedure Recovery
Salmon DNA’s reparative properties accelerate healing, soften scar tissue, and promote even pigmentation—ideal for improving the look of old acne scars or supporting recovery after lasers and peels.
Uneven Tone & Hyperpigmentation
By enhancing cellular turnover and regulating melanocyte activity, VAMP helps fade sun spots, redness, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation for a more uniform skin tone.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a VAMP "salmon sperm" facial and how does it work?
A VAMP facial (Vitamins, Amino Acids, Minerals, and PDRN) is an advanced skin-revitalization treatment using a sterile solution rich in polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRN) from salmon DNA, plus vitamins and amino acids. During the treatment, tiny needles or micro‐channels are created in the skin (microneedling) and the VAMP serum is applied or injected. The salmon DNA fragments stimulate cell regeneration and collagen, while the nutrient cocktail restores hydration and skin tone. In short, VAMP combines traditional microneedling with a powerful “cocktail” of bioactive ingredients to promote deep healing and a youthful glow
What are the benefits of salmon DNA for the skin?
Salmon DNA is known for its powerful ability to hydrate, heal, and regenerate the skin. It boosts collagen, reduces fine lines, improves elasticity, and helps calm redness or sun damage—making it perfect for Calgary’s dry, seasonal climate.
Is the VAMP facial safe and are there side effects?
Yes, it’s very safe for most skin types. The ingredients are highly purified and biocompatible. You may experience mild redness or swelling after treatment, which typically fades within 24–48 hours.
What happens during and after the treatment?
After numbing cream is applied, the provider uses microneedling or a fine cannula to deliver the serum into your skin. Expect mild redness and a warm sensation post-treatment, but most people return to normal activities within a day or two.
What results can I expect and how long do they last?
You’ll likely see a glow and improved hydration within days. Firmer, smoother skin develops over a few weeks. A series of 3–4 treatments is recommended, with results lasting up to 6 months and longer with maintenance.
Who is a good candidate for VAMP?
Most healthy adults with concerns like dullness, fine lines, dryness, or uneven tone are great candidates. It suits all skin types and is especially beneficial in dry climates like Calgary’s. Your provider will confirm suitability during a consultation.
How does VAMP compare to PRP or microneedling?
Unlike PRP, which uses your blood, VAMP uses a ready-made serum rich in salmon DNA and nutrients. Compared to microneedling alone, VAMP enhances results by delivering deeper hydration and healing ingredients during the treatment.
