If your skin feels tired, dull, or like it's lost its bounce, you're not imagining it. Whether it’s age, stress, or just life doing what it does, a lot of people in Asheville are looking for real, effective ways to hit reset. Enter microneedling with Salmon DNA: a next-level treatment that’s gaining buzz for all the right reasons. It’s not just another skincare trend—it’s a science-backed, regenerative therapy that helps your skin actually rebuild itself from within.
At Biltmore Restorative Medicine & Aesthetics, we use VAMP, a potent serum packed with bioactive ingredients including PDRN (that’s salmon DNA), amino acids, minerals, and vitamins to boost collagen, elasticity, and hydration. And because your skin deserves more than just hype, our treatments are led by Dr. George Ibrahim, a board-certified physician with decades of experience in restorative medicine.
Want even better results? Many of our patients combine microneedling with Salmon DNA and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to supercharge collagen production and skin renewal.
Microneedling with Salmon DNA combines collagen induction therapy with bio-revitalizing serums to deeply nourish and restore the skin. A microneedling device creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface, triggering natural collagen and elastin production. At the same time, we infuse a regenerative serum called VAMP directly into the skin.
VAMP contains:
This synergistic approach enhances skin texture, tone, and radiance while accelerating recovery and improving long-term skin health. The result? With each treatment, skin looks smoother, plumper, and more lit from within.
Your appointment begins with a gentle cleanse and topical numbing cream to ensure comfort. Once the skin is prepped, our specialist uses a medical-grade microneedling device to glide across the face (or selected area), creating thousands of tiny channels in the skin.
As we microneedle, we simultaneously apply the VAMP serum, allowing the potent nutrients and Salmon DNA to penetrate deeply into the dermal layer. The treatment typically takes 45 minutes and feels like a mild prickling sensation.
You’ll leave with a healthy flush and a sense of renewal. Post-treatment, we’ll apply a calming serum or light barrier to support healing and hydration.
Microneedling with Salmon DNA is designed for patients seeking comprehensive skin renewal, not just spot treatments. It helps improve:
Whether you’re noticing signs of aging or just feel like your skin has lost its glow, this treatment delivers results that are both immediate and progressive.
Patients love this treatment because the results are noticeable yet natural, and the downtime is short. Benefits include:
Many describe the outcome as “well-rested, healthy skin”—not overly polished or “done,” just visibly better.
Microneedling with Salmon DNA is safe for all skin types and tones. It’s ideal for:
However, we may advise against microneedling if you have active acne, certain skin infections, keloid scarring, or are pregnant. A consultation with our team will help determine if this is your best path forward.
You may experience some redness, warmth, or tightness for 24–48 hours post-treatment. Think of it like a mild sunburn—completely normal and easily managed with gentle skincare.
To support optimal results:
Most patients return to daily life immediately, with no need to rearrange their schedule.
You’ll begin to notice enhanced glow and smoother skin within the first week. Collagen production increases gradually over the next 4–6 weeks, so results will continue to improve with time.
For best results, we recommend:
Most patients return to daily life immediately, with no need to rearrange their schedule.
Biltmore Restorative Medicine
Biltmore Restorative Medicine & Aesthetics isn’t just another medspa—we’re a physician-led clinic known for results, warmth, and science-backed care. Our founder, Dr. George Ibrahim, is a Duke-trained urologist with a fellowship in anti-aging and regenerative medicine. He’s helped thousands of patients restore energy, confidence, and vitality.
Our Asheville team is trained in advanced microneedling techniques and selects only the highest-quality serums and technologies to support your skin’s natural resilience. Here, your experience is never one-size-fits-all. It’s fully personalized, fully professional, and always focused on you.
Salmon DNA contains PDRN, a molecule that encourages cell regeneration, improves hydration, and reduces inflammation. It works as a bio-stimulator to revitalize tired, aging, or damaged skin.
Nope! The Salmon DNA is purified and odorless, and allergies are extremely rare. The serum is processed to meet strict medical-grade standards.
While you'll see a glow after just one treatment, we recommend a series of 3–4 treatments spaced one month apart for full skin remodeling. Maintenance treatments every 3–6 months help prolong the effects.
Absolutely! We often pair microneedling with Salmon DNA and PRP for enhanced regeneration and glow. Other great add-ons include LED therapy, light peels, and facials.
Most patients find it very tolerable thanks to our medical-grade numbing cream. You'll feel a light prickling or pressure, but no real pain.
Most patients don't peel. You might have a little flaking as the skin renews itself, but no major shedding. Some may experience a breakout if the skin purges—this is temporary.
We recommend waiting 24 hours before applying any makeup and only using non-comedogenic, mineral-based options during the healing period.
Both use microneedling as the delivery system, but PRP uses your own blood plasma, while Salmon DNA offers a different set of nutrients and regenerative properties. Some patients do both, alternating sessions.
Pricing varies based on the number of sessions and whether we combine with other therapies. We'll walk you through options at your consultation.
