Skin boosters are injectable and topical treatments designed to improve dermal quality and restore skin health. These products typically include hyaluronic acid formulations, biostimulatory agents, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), growth factors, and polynucleotides. Their growing use in aesthetic medicine is supported by their diverse mechanisms of action and routes of administration.
One such category of interest includes polynucleotide-based therapies, most notably Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN). Derived from the DNA of salmon or trout, PDRN exhibits dual regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties. Mechanistically, it promotes tissue repair by supplying nucleotides essential for DNA synthesis and activates adenosine A2A receptors, thereby enhancing angiogenesis and mitigating inflammation. Clinically, PDRN has been applied in aesthetic medicine for skin rejuvenation, where it improves elasticity, texture, and reduces fine lines, as well as in wound healing and scar remodeling, supporting its integration into advanced bioregenerative protocols.
Among such agents, VAMP™ ADVANCED Topical Multivitamin Serum is formulated to improve hydration, elasticity, and overall skin radiance through a proprietary blend of amino acids, vitamins, and peptides. While preliminary data suggest potential benefits, robust peer-reviewed clinical studies remain limited. This study seeks to evaluate the efficacy of topical application of VAMP™ ADVANCED Topical Multivitamin Serum following microneedling in skin rejuvenation.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Biweekly Microneedeling - Group 1 | Active Comparator | Participants randomized to Group 1 will undergo an initial microneedling session using a hyaluronic acid vehicle solution to prime the skin. Subsequently, participants will undergo three (3) additional microneedling sessions utilizing the VAMP™ Advanced Multivitamin Serum, administered on a biweekly basis (every two weeks). In total, participants will receive four (4) microneedling treatment sessions, followed by two (2) follow-up visits |
|
| Monthly Microneedeling - Group 2 | Active Comparator | Participants randomized to Group 2 will undergo an initial microneedling session using a hyaluronic acid vehicle solution to prime the skin. Subsequently, participants will undergo three (3) additional microneedling sessions utilizing the VAMP™ Advanced Multivitamin Serum, administered on a monthly basis (every four weeks). In total, participants will receive four (4) microneedling treatment sessions, followed by two (2) follow-up visits. |

| Microneedeling with topical application of VAMP(TM) ADVANCED Topical Multivitamin Serum | Device | 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. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

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.

Acceptable forms of effective birth control include:
Negative UPT for women of childbearing potential at the Baseline visit.
Stable lifestyle and skincare regimen for at least 4 weeks
Exclusion Criteria:

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:
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.
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.
