VAMP™ – The “Salmon Sperm Facial” is the latest skin booster packed with powerful ingredients like PDRN and PN (these are skin-healing compounds from salmon DNA) plus Vitamins, Amino acids, and Minerals.

What is
VAMP™ Salmon Sperm Facial?

VAMP™ is our newest topical skin booster designed to elevate your post-treatment results and bring out your skin’s natural glow. It contains a potent combination of Vitamins, Amino Acids, Minerals, and PDRN—a powerful ingredient extracted from wild salmon DNA.

Why salmon DNA? It’s 95% similar to human DNA, making it incredibly biocompatible and effective at supporting skin repair and rejuvenation.

Before Your
VAMP™ Treatment

For the best results, it’s important to prep your skin properly:
 Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 24 hours before your treatment
 Discontinue exfoliating products like retinol or acids one week prior
 Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin on the day of your appointment

Your provider at Chicago Aesthetics will also review personalized pre-treatment instructions with you during your appointment.

After Your
VAMP™ Treatment

To protect your skin and maximize your results, follow these simple aftercare tips:
 Avoid sun exposure, sweating, and heat (like saunas or hot showers) for 24–48 hours
 Skip makeup and harsh skincare products for at least 24 hours
 Keep your skin hydrated with a gentle moisturizer and drink plenty of water
 Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area

Your provider may recommend specific post-care products based on your skin type and the treatment performed. Following these guidelines will help your skin heal faster and reveal that radiant, refreshed glow.

how much does
VAMP™ Salmon Sperm Facial Booster Cost?

The cost of your VAMP™ Salmon Sperm Facial Booster in Chicago, Illinois is between $150 to $300 per booster treatment for the face or neck. VAMP™ Skin Booster is offered as an add-on to a microchanneling treatment like Morpheus8 RF Microneedling, microneedling, or MOXI® Laser Treatment.

I’ve been seeing Carol for Botox for over two years, and she is absolutely amazing! I trust her completely with my face. She always takes the time to listen to what I want and makes sure my results look natural and beautiful—she never overdoes it. I especially appreciate how honest she is; she will tell you when you don’t need something rather than trying to sell you more treatments. Carol truly cares about her patients and always makes me feel comfortable, welcomed, and at home. She is professional, knowledgeable, gentle, and incredibly attentive. I always leave feeling confident and happy with my results. It’s hard to find someone you can trust this much, and I’m so grateful I found Carol. I wouldn’t trust

I had Lipo 360 and a Skinny BBL this summer, and I am so happy with my results. I was always extremely nervous about going under the knife, but I really wanted to do something that would help boost my self-confidence. Dr. T and his entire team were truly amazing throughout the whole process. I am naturally pretty skinny, so I was always worried about whether this procedure would work well for my body type, but I honestly wish I had done it sooner. I am currently about five weeks post-op, and I am already so pleased with how everything is turning out. My results continue to improve as I heal, and I’m excited to see the final outcome. I’m very grateful to Dr. T and his team for making me feel comfortable and confident throughout the experience.

Nurse Carol always does an outstanding job no matter the procedure. She literally has light hands and you barely feel a thing. She brightens my day whenever I have an appointment with her. Very kind, professional and very knowledgeable. I have never had anyone as thorough as her. She communicates with me before and after all appointments and reaches out to ensure I safely drive there sooner due to the weather conditions. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nurse Carol Donohue. After four years as her client, I can genuinely say that the trust, care, and relationship we have built over the years means so much to me. Carol has always been incredibly easy to communicate with and accommodating with my schedule. She consistently goes above and beyond for her clients—even coming in early before her shift to make sure she can see me when needed. That level of dedication and care does not go unnoticed. What I appreciate most about Carol is her integrity. She doesn’t simply recommend a cosmetic procedure because she can perform it. She takes the time to honestly tell me what would be beneficial, what may be unnecessary, and what she believes is best for me. My health, well-being, and safety have always come first, and that has given me an incredible amount of confidence and trust in her. Carol is knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. She explains everything in detail, makes sure I understand every step of the process, and always makes me feel comfortable and cared for. She values her clients as people, not just appointments. Beyond her professionalism, Carol’s kindness has touched me personally. There have been days when I walked into her office feeling at my lowest, and simply being met with her warmth, compassion, and kindness helped me leave feeling a little more confident and a lot better than when I arrived. That is something I will never forget. Thank you, Nurse Carol Donohue, for four wonderful years of professionalism, honesty, compassion, and exceptional care. I am incredibly grateful for the client-and-nurse relationship we have built, and I look forward to many more years to come. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a provider who combines expertise with integrity and truly cares about the people she serves.

My results have always looked natural and beautiful, which is exactly what I’m looking for. I highly recommend her to anyone considering Botox or looking for someone skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely caring!
