Okay, correction: it’s salmon DNA*
Here’s the actual science. The ingredient is called PDRN. It’s purified DNA fragments extracted from salmon, and salmon DNA is almost structurally identical to human DNA, so your skin cells recognize it and respond to it.
It wasn’t discovered for skincare. PDRN was first developed in Italy as a wound-healing medication and used clinically for years on burns, ulcers and tissue repair. Doctors noticed the healed skin was coming back firmer and smoother than expected. Korea took that and ran with it, and PDRN became the gold-standard regenerative ingredient behind the glass skin trend. That’s where “salmon s***m facial” came from.
What it does in your skin: activates fibroblasts (the cells that make collagen), speeds up tissue repair, calms inflammation and improves circulation.
The catch is your skin barrier blocks most of it topically. So we don’t rub it on. We microneedle first, then infuse VAMP (our Canadian-made PDRN formula) through the micro-channels straight to the layer where collagen is made.
What clients notice: faster healing and less downtime first, then over the following weeks deeper hydration, smoother texture, firmer skin, softer fine lines. Results compound over a series.
As always, link in bio to book 🙂
