Yes. PDRN has been widely studied and used in medicine for wound healing. It’s safe, effective, and well-tolerated—especially when performed under the supervision of a board-certified dermatologist.

Q: How long does it take to see results?

You’ll typically notice improved hydration and glow within a few days. Long-term collagen-boosting benefits can take a few months to develop.

Q: Can I combine it with other treatments?

Absolutely. In fact, that’s where PDRN shines. We love pairing it with Moxi, Halo, or Sylfirm X to help calm inflammation and amplify skin renewal.

Q: Why is it called a “salmon sperm facial”?

The polynucleotides in PDRN are derived from salmon DNA, which has a similar structure to human DNA and is highly biocompatible. The nickname might raise eyebrows, but the results speak for themselves.

Q: What does it help with?

PDRN facials can help reduce inflammation, redness, fine lines, and dehydration. It’s also excellent for improving skin texture and accelerating healing post-laser or energy-based treatments.

Also known as “Salmon Sperm Facials” – yes, really.

At Compass Dermatology, we offer the latest in advanced skin rejuvenation—and our VAMP PDRN facials are a cult favourite for a reason.

What is VAMP PDRN?

This treatment features polynucleotides (PDRN)—DNA fragments originally derived from salmon, chosen for their ability to support skin healing, collagen production, and deep hydration. Despite the nickname, “salmon sperm” facials are far from gimmicky. They’re backed by science and beloved by celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston for their glow-boosting results.

VAMP PDRN Facial FAQ

What is a PDRN facial?

A PDRN facial is a skin treatment that uses polynucleotides (tiny fragments of DNA) to repair and regenerate the skin. At Compass Dermatology, it's delivered via microneedling—not injections—to help it absorb into deeper layers of the skin.

What does it help with?

How is it different from PRP (platelet-rich plasma)?

While both support skin regeneration, PRP comes from your own blood, and PDRN comes from salmon DNA. PDRN is more consistent and has anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal for sensitive skin or post-treatment recovery.
