VAMP (Salmon DNA Serum)
Nature delivers a powerful skin-rejuvenating solution in VAMP, an innovative skin therapy that promotes cellular regeneration for remarkable anti-aging benefits. This highly advanced serum uses polynucleotides to repair and fortify your skin at the cellular level. At Severn River Medspa, we proudly offer VAMP treatment to address everything from fine lines to uneven skin texture and more.
How VAMP Works
VAMP uses highly purified polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA, which share remarkable similarity to human DNA. When applied to the skin, these polynucleotides stimulate fibroblast activity, accelerate tissue repair and promote the natural production of collagen and elastin. This biological approach to skin renewal works from within to address multiple signs of aging simultaneously.
At Severn River Medspa, we further improve VAMP's effectiveness by combining it with advanced delivery methods. The serum can be applied during SkinPen microneedling treatments to maximize penetration, following CO2 laser resurfacing to accelerate healing, or incorporated into our customized facial treatments for a more comprehensive approach.
Key Benefits and Applications
VAMP improves the skin’s hydration level, texture and tone while significantly reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also accelerates acne scar and sun damage healing. By supporting collagen and elastin production, VAMP shrinks oversized pores while improving the skin’s elasticity and firmness.
Understanding the Treatment Experience
The first step in VAMP treatment is to cleanse and prepare your skin. The serum is then applied using one of the above delivery methods. Most patients report little to no discomfort during the procedure, which typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes.
VAMP requires no significant downtime, with most patients returning to their normal schedules right after treatment. You may experience slight redness or mild skin sensitivity, but these routine post-treatment effects should resolve themselves within one to two days.
Results will develop gradually over the two to four weeks following VAMP treatment as cellular regeneration occurs, with improvements maintained for several months after the fact.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a more specific question? We’re here to answer.
VAMP suits most patients dealing with dull skin, hyperpigmentation and sun damage or early signs of aging who prefer a biological approach over neurotoxins and fillers. Please let our team know during your consultation if you have a fish allergy, since VAMP is derived from purified salmon-based polynucleotides.
VAMP is a topical serum, meaning a provider does not apply the treatment via injection. Because VAMP stays closer to the skin's surface, we often pair it with delivery methods like microneedling to help it reach deeper layers, whereas an injectable treatment skips that step entirely. Your provider can help you weigh the two based on your comfort with needles and your treatment goals.
Yes, VAMP can be incorporated after CO2 laser treatment to help reduce redness (erythema), helping you reveal results faster and for longer between treatments.
Collagen is the single most abundant protein in the body, acting like the latticework of your skin, joint surfaces and other tissues. It gives the skin its elasticity and taut, youthful quality. Since natural collagen production begins to decline as early as a person’s late 20s, collagen-boosting treatments are an excellent way to restore healthy skin.
VAMP works with your skin's natural regeneration process, so results build through ongoing sessions rather than a single visit. Your provider will recommend a cadence based on your skin's response and whether you're pairing VAMP with treatments for acne scarring or fine lines and wrinkles.
Yes, the same polynucleotide technology used on the face can also benefit the neck, décolletage and hands. During your consultation, our team can discuss whether treating these additional areas makes sense for your overall plan.
Pause retinoids and exfoliating acids in the days surrounding your appointment, and stay consistent with sunscreen. Bring any specific product questions to your visit, and your esthetician will tailor recommendations to your skin.
Booking a consultation is the first step. From there, our team will assess your skin and discuss whether VAMP alone or a service like SkinPen microneedling fits your goals. Book your consultation and we'll build a personalized VAMP plan from there.
