Treatment Overview
What VAMP Therapy actually does
VAMP is an advanced regenerative add-on that enhances your facial with powerful growth factors derived from salmon DNA, known as PDRN. Applied topically over freshly prepped skin, it supports repair at the cellular level, encourages your skin’s own collagen production, and improves overall texture and elasticity, so skin looks healthier, more radiant, and more rejuvenated over time.
It’s a topical add-on, not a stand-alone procedure: there’s no blood draw and no injection. VAMP layers into a facial to give it a regenerative boost, which makes it a favorite for fine lines, dull skin, loss of elasticity, and overall skin rejuvenation. Some patients also add it to microneedling, where the same growth factors can help calm redness and shorten recovery afterward. See the full Facials & Peels pillar for every way we care for your skin.
How It Works
Regenerative skincare, powered by salmon-DNA growth factors
VAMP is applied topically during your facial, never injected. It works with your skin’s own repair process to support collagen, tone, and elasticity.
Growth Factors From Salmon DNA (PDRN)
VAMP delivers PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide), a purified growth-factor complex derived from salmon DNA. Because the building blocks of DNA are highly conserved across species, your skin recognizes these nucleotides and can put them to work supporting its own repair.
Repair at the Cellular Level
Applied topically over freshly prepped skin, PDRN helps calm inflammation and signals your skin’s own cells to regenerate. It supports the natural repair process rather than forcing a result, which is part of why it’s a gentle add-on with virtually no downtime.
More Collagen, Better Texture
By supporting your skin’s own collagen production, VAMP helps firm and smooth over time, softening fine lines, improving elasticity, and restoring a healthier, more radiant tone across a series of facials.
VAMP is designed to enhance a facial rather than stand on its own. Ask your aesthetician to pair it with the facial that best fits your skin, and we’ll build the right combination around your goals.
Fleming Island · Northeast Florida
Fleming Island’s sun makes a collagen-support plan a maintenance habit
Northeast Florida sits at an Extreme UV Index of 10 to 11 from April through August, with 220-plus sunny days a year, and UV exposure drives up to about 80% of visible facial aging. Fleming Island’s boating and outdoor lifestyle, on Doctors Lake and the St. Johns River, produces exactly the sun-driven dullness, fine lines, and loss of elasticity that a topical growth-factor add-on like VAMP is built to support.
Northeast Florida’s UV index climbs to extreme from spring through late summer, and sun exposure drives much of the collagen loss and visible aging we treat, so care here is as much about prevention as it is about correction.
VAMP Therapy is available as a facial add-on at both Fleming Island locations, the Medical Spa at Island Lane and the Day Spa at Eagle Harbor, and Pura Vida has been voted the area’s best medspa six years running.

The Pura Vida Approach
A regenerative boost, layered into the facial you already trust
VAMP is a gentle enhancement, not a separate procedure. Your medical aesthetician performs your facial and applies the PDRN salmon-DNA growth-factor serum topically over prepped skin, so it works with your skin’s own repair process. No blood draw, no needles, no downtime, just a more regenerative version of a facial you already understand.
That same care in matching the right treatment to your skin runs through every option in our Facials & Peels portfolio, and it’s why patients trust us with their skin over the long run.

Our Process
What to expect at your visit
A quick skin consultation
Your aesthetician looks at your skin and goals, tone, texture, fine lines, dullness, loss of firmness, and confirms VAMP is a good enhancement for your facial. Tell us here about any fish or salmon allergy, since PDRN is salmon-derived.
Your facial begins as usual
We start with the facial itself: a thorough cleanse, gentle exfoliation, and prep so your skin is ready to receive the growth-factor serum. VAMP layers into that facial rather than replacing it.
The VAMP serum is applied topically
Your aesthetician smooths the PDRN salmon-DNA growth-factor serum over your prepped skin and allows it to absorb. There is no blood draw and no injection, VAMP works over the surface of the skin, not beneath it.
Worked in and sealed with the facial
The serum is worked in with facial massage and finished under a mask or moisturizer so the growth factors settle into the skin and your facial ends feeling complete.
Simple aftercare, little to no downtime
Most guests head straight back into their day. PDRN is gentle, with no purging, peeling, or new sun sensitivity, and we’ll suggest simple hydration and daily SPF while your skin’s response builds over the following weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
VAMP Therapy Questions, Answered
What is VAMP Therapy?
VAMP is an advanced regenerative add-on that enhances your facial with powerful growth factors derived from salmon DNA (PDRN). Applied topically, it supports skin repair at the cellular level, boosts collagen production, and improves overall texture and elasticity, so skin looks healthier, more radiant, and more rejuvenated. It’s best for fine lines, dull skin, loss of elasticity, and overall skin rejuvenation.
What is PDRN, and how does salmon DNA help skin?
PDRN stands for polydeoxyribonucleotide, a purified extract derived from salmon DNA. The nucleotide building blocks of DNA are so similar across species that your skin recognizes and uses them: PDRN helps calm inflammation, encourages cell regeneration, and supports your skin’s own collagen production. That’s why it’s become one of the most talked-about ingredients in regenerative skincare.
Is VAMP the same as a vampire facial or PRP?
No. Some clinics use “vampire facial” to describe PRP microneedling, which draws and uses a small amount of your own blood. VAMP at Pura Vida is different: it’s a topical growth-factor add-on built on salmon-DNA PDRN, applied over the skin during a facial. There’s no blood draw and no injection.
Is a salmon DNA facial safe, and is there any downtime?
PDRN is one of the gentler regenerative actives, with no purging, peeling, or added sun sensitivity, and most guests return to their day right away. The main thing to flag is a fish or salmon allergy, so tell us at your consultation. As with any treatment, we’ll review your skin and history before we begin.
How many VAMP treatments will I need, and how long do results last?
Because VAMP supports your skin’s own repair, results build gradually over the following weeks, and most guests see the best, longest-lasting improvement from a short series with occasional maintenance. Northeast Florida’s Extreme UV Index keeps driving new sun damage, so we typically recommend a maintenance rhythm rather than a single facial.
Where can I get VAMP Therapy near Fleming Island, FL?
Pura Vida offers VAMP Therapy as a facial add-on at both Fleming Island locations, the Medical Spa at Island Lane and the Day Spa at Eagle Harbor, and we care for guests from Orange Park, Middleburg, Green Cove Springs, and greater Jacksonville. We’ve been voted the area’s best medspa six years running, and our medical aestheticians build the right facial and add-on around your skin.
