Microneedling + VAMP: How Vitamins, DNA & Nutrients Supercharge Your Skin

Microneedling + VAMP: How Vitamins, DNA & Nutrients Supercharge Your Skin

At Subtle we get a lot of questions about microneedling with VAMP. So let’s chat about what this treatment really is, how it works, and why it might be worth considering.

First, what is microneedling with VAMP?

Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment that uses tiny needles to create small injuries on the skin. These micro-injuries kickstart your body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production. More collagen and elastin in the skin = more glow, less fine lines and healthy structure of the skin. When paired with VAMP, which is a serum made with PDRN extracted from salmon DNA, the treatment results are that much better. The VAMP serum helps hydrate, repair, and strengthen the skin, leading to a smoother and more radiant appearance over time. VAMP stands for : Vitamins - Provide nourishment and revitalization to the skin; Amino Acids - Helps in strengthening and repairing the skin; Minerals - Supports skin barrier and overall health; and PDRN - Not quite salmon sperm like you may have heard, but a powerful ingredient derived from salmon DNA, known for its regenerative properties that promote collagen production and skin elasticity. Whether you’re dealing with dryness, dullness, fine lines, or loss of elasticity, think of it as your skin’s ultimate reset button, helping you achieve a firmer, more radiant complexion over time.

Now let’s clear up a few common questions:

Is VAMP the same as regular microneedling? 

Microneedling alone is a powerful treatment, but microneedling with VAMP adds another layer of skin support. The serum works with your skin to boost regeneration and enhance overall results. It is not just about collagen, it is about giving your skin what it needs to heal well and look refreshed in a natural, subtle, "I can't tell what you have done, but your skin looks great!" kind of way. This kind of regenerative treatment is what we're all about at Subtle; in fact it is in our name.

Is VAMP painful and how long is recovery?

This is one of the most common concerns. At Subtle, we apply a numbing cream beforehand so most people feel little to no discomfort. The sensation is often described as light pressure or a prickly feeling. After treatment, your skin might look slightly red or feel sensitive, but this fades within a day or two. There is no need to hide away or change your routine.

How long does VAMP take to work? 

In line with regenerative aesthetics, Microneedling with VAMP is not about quick fixes. While people often notice a fresh glow after the first treatment, the real changes happen gradually. As collagen builds, skin becomes smoother and more even over time. This is why, for the best results, we recommend a series of treatments.

Is VAMP only for people with aging skin?

This treatment is not just for reversing signs of aging. It is also great for prevention. Many younger clients use microneedling with VAMP to support their skin before fine lines or texture issues show up. Whether you are looking to slow down aging, smooth out acne scars, or keep your skin healthy long term, this treatment can help.

Even if you do not have deep wrinkles or serious concerns, microneedling with VAMP can be a great option. It helps boost your skin’s overall health, improve tone, and support the

structure of your skin. A lot of our clients choose this treatment simply because they want their skin to feel stronger and look more balanced.

Microneedling with VAMP is a gentle, effective way to support your skin from the inside out.
