Brief Summary
Skin boosters are treatments designed to improve skin quality and restore skin health. Some of these treatments are based on polynucleotides, which are small fragments of DNA. One such compound, called Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN), is obtained from fish sources such as salmon or trout. PDRN has shown regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties, and in medical practice it has been used to support wound healing, scar improvement, and skin rejuvenation by helping with elasticity, texture, and fine lines. VAMP™ Multivitamin Serum is a topical formulation that contains PDRN along with amino acids, vitamins, and peptides. It is designed to improve hydration, elasticity, and overall skin radiance. While early data suggest potential benefits, clinical research is still limited, and further study is needed.

Study Arms (2)
Group A - biweekly treatment schedule
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants in this group will undergo an initial microneedeling session followed by a topical application of standardized, non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid. Following this initial treatment participants in Group A will receive three treatments of microneedeling immediately followed by topical application of VAMP™ Topical Multivitamin Serum every two (2) weeks
Group B - month treatment schedule
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants in this group will undergo an initial microneedeling session followed by a topical application of standardized, non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid. Following this initial treatment participants in Group B will receive three treatments of microneedeling immediately followed by topical application of VAMP™ Topical Multivitamin Serum every four (4) weeks
Interventions
VAMP™ Topical Multivitamin Serum is not indicated for use in pregnancy, lactation, or in individuals under the age of 22. Female participants of childbearing potential will be required to undergo urine pregnancy testing at baseline and prior to each treatment session. They will also be instructed to use an acceptable form of effective contraception for the duration of the study.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Ability to adequately understand the verbal explanations and the written participant information provided in local language and ability and willingness to give consent to participate in the study. Signed and dated informed consent to participate in the study.
- Participant interested in improving skin quality.
- Immune-competent adult 22 years of age and older.
- Has intent to undergo treatment to improve appearance of the facial skin.
- Willingness to comply with pre-visit instructions, including shaving of facial area (for male participants), to allow for consistent biometric and photographic evaluations.
- If the participant is a female of childbearing potential, she agrees to use an acceptable form of effective birth control for the duration of the study and is willing to take a urine pregnancy test (UPT) at Baseline and prior to receiving any study treatment.
- Acceptable forms of effective birth control include:
- Barrier methods of contraception: Condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/ cream/suppository;
- Bilateral tubal ligation;
- Combined oral contraceptives (estrogens and progesterone), implanted or injectable contraceptives on a stable dose for at least 28 days prior to Day 1;
- Hormonal or copper intra uterine device (IUD) inserted at least 28 days prior to Day 1;
- Vasectomized partner (in monogamous relationship) for at least 3 months prior to screening;
- Strict abstinence (at least one month prior to baseline and agrees to continue for the duration of the study or use acceptable form of birth control).
- Negative UPT for women of childbearing potential at the Baseline visit.
- Stable lifestyle and skincare regimen for at least 4 weeks
You may not qualify if:
- \. Known allergy or intolerance to topical anesthetics or lidocaine. 3. History of hypersensitivity reactions such as anaphylaxis, angioedema, or other severe allergic responses.
- \. History of hypertrophic scarring, keloid formation, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation following cosmetic treatments.
- \. Tattoos, piercings, or skin bleaching agents in the treatment area that may interfere with assessments, as judged by the Investigator.
- \. Participants with known pigmentary instability or history of adverse response to microneedling.
- \. Previous cosmetic or dermatologic procedures in the treatment area within the following time frames: 8. Previous treatment with cross-linked hyaluronic acid dermal fillers in the treatment area within the last 12 months.
- \. Energy-based devices (laser, IPL, RF, ultrasound) in the last 6 months. 10. Microneedling, dermabrasion, mesotherapy, or chemical peels in the last 6 months.
- \. Use of topical corticosteroids, retinoids, or depigmenting agents in the treatment area within the past 4 weeks.
- \. Current use of immunosuppressive therapy, systemic corticosteroids, or chemotherapy within the last 3 months.
- \. History of systemic autoimmune, collagen vascular, or bleeding disorders (e.g., lupus, scleroderma, thrombocytopenia).
- \. Current pregnancy, positive urine pregnancy test at screening, breastfeeding, or intent to become pregnant during the study.
- \. Participation in another clinical study within the past 30 days or concurrent participation in another interventional trial.
- \. Any condition, including psychological, cognitive, or behavioral concerns, that would interfere with the ability to give informed consent, follow the protocol, or comply with follow-up requirements.
- \. Initiation of a weight loss program or GLP-1 agonist therapy within 30 days before baseline or planned during study period.
- \. Active skin conditions exacerbated by microneedling or transepidermal delivery, including chronic dermatitis or impaired barrier function.
- \. Current participation by study personnel, immediate family members, or employees of the Sponsor.
