Salmon DNA + Science = Glow: VAMP Now at Subtle Enhancements

VAMP is one of the most innovative skin treatments to arrive in Toronto, powered by a surprising, science-backed ingredient: salmon DNA.

Used in regenerative medicine and now adapted for cosmetic use, Polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRN) from wild salmon are 95% similar to human DNA, making them highly biocompatible and ideal for tissue repair, skin regeneration, and collagen stimulation. Research shows PDRN helps reduce oxidative stress and inhibits the signs of aging caused by free radicals, improving elasticity and dermal structure over time.

The Canadian-made VAMP™ solution also includes hyaluronic acid, 23 amino acids, 11 vitamins, and 6 minerals, making it a powerhouse for skin restoration. This formula helps revitalize your glow by:

• Deeply hydrating dry or dull skin

• Improving firmness and elasticity

• Minimizing pores and fine lines

• Evening out skin tone and reducing hyperpigmentation

What Does VAMP™ Actually Do?

VAMP™ is more than just a glow-up. This treatment supports your skin on a cellular level, repairing damage caused by aging, environmental stress, and dehydration.

Here’s how VAMP™ helps revitalize your glow:

• Boosts hydration with hyaluronic acid and Vitamin B5

• Stimulates collagen production with amino acids like proline, lysine, and glycine

• Improves elasticity and firmness, restoring bounce and resilience

• Evens skin tone and reduces hyperpigmentation with ingredients like glutathione and niacinamide

• Strengthens the skin barrier with essential minerals and amino acids

These ingredients are carefully selected for their roles in anti-aging, skin revitalization, antioxidant defense, and barrier support, making VAMP a go-to option for clients who want real results without invasive procedures.

Unlike creams or serums that sit on the surface of the skin, VAMP is designed to go deeper, literally. It’s applied by a medical professional (like our Registered Nurses at Subtle Enhancements Toronto 👋), VAMP is applied through Sylfirm X radiofrequency (RF) microneedling. This treatment uses ultra-fine needles and radiofrequency energy to create controlled microchannels in the skin while delivering heat to deeper layers. This dual action enhances absorption of the VAMP formula and stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping to firm, smooth, and restore the skin from within.

What Can VAMP Help With?

Whether you’re dealing with visible signs of aging, dullness, or uneven skin tone, VAMP™ works to revitalize your glow from multiple angles. Here’s how:

Aging + Fine Lines

PDRN helps restore collagen production, reduce oxidative damage, and firm up sagging or crepey skin.

Hyperpigmentation + Uneven Tone

With ingredients that regulate melanin (like niacinamide and glutathione), VAMP™ helps fade dark spots and brighten skin naturally.

What to Expect After Treatment

VAMP is a low-downtime procedure. You might experience mild redness or sensitivity for 24–48 hours post-treatment, similar to a light sunburn. Most clients notice smoother, more luminous skin within a week—with continued improvements over the next few weeks as collagen production ramps up.

For best results, we typically recommend a series of 3–4 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every few months.

Why Try VAMP at Subtle Enhancements Toronto?

As a clinic we focus on evidence-based medical aesthetics, Subtle Enhancements offers a unique approach to skincare. We believe in treating the root cause, not just the surface and that’s exactly why we’ve added VAMP to our lineup.

If you're looking for a subtle, scientifically backed way to support your skin’s natural glow, this treatment delivers. With no harsh chemicals, no overcorrection, and a focus on long-term skin health, VAMP fits beautifully into our less-is-more philosophy.

That “sudden” change in your skin at 30? It’s been in the works for years. 👀 Collagen keeps your skin firm, plump, and resilient BUT production slows down as you age, and even faster with sun exposure. 😩 Enter Sylfirm X: A next-generation RF microneedling treatment that stimulates collagen on multiple skin depths to help: ✔️ Smooth texture ✔️ Lift + tighten ✔️ Fade pigment ✔️ Build long-term strength in your skin But here’s the deal: no treatment replaces daily SPF. You can’t build collagen while letting UV rays break it down. So if you’re ready to future-proof your glow? Start now! NOT when the damage shows up. — #sylfirmx #sylfirmxmicroneedling @sylfirmx.usa @xcitetech #rfmicroneedling #hoodedeyes #skinlaxitytreatment #torontoskin #torontoskincare #aestheticnurse #rosaceatreatment #acnetreatment #melasmatreatment #acnescartreatment #torontobeauty #parkdalelife #parkdale #parkdaletoronto

The reality is… ✔️ Acne is complex! Often hormonal, inflammatory, or genetic ✔️ You can have perfect hygiene and still get breakouts ✔️ Different scars need different in-clinic treatments beyond a serum ✔️ Acne is a medical condition, NOT a hygiene issue Breakouts and lingering scars can be frustrating but with the right approach, REAL change is possible! You may have seen a new section in our Toronto booking page 👀 Acne and acne scars is one of the top 3 conditions we treat so we intentionally crafted a acne/acne scarring menu! We take a science-driven, compassionate approach to treating acne at EVERY stage, from active inflammation to post-acne scarring. Questions?
