PRP Facial Rejuvenation in Columbia, SC: 

Glow Support from Within

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, “My skin just looks… tired,” even when you’re doing the basics, you’re not alone. Many people in Columbia, SC, Forest Acres, Irmo, Lexington, Cayce, West Columbia, and the Sandhills/Northeast area reach a point where good skincare helps—but doesn’t feel like quite enough.

Fine lines start to linger longer than they used to. Your skin may look a little less firm, a little less radiant, and a little more textured on camera. You might not be ready for more dramatic changes, but you are ready for something that helps your skin behave more like it used to.

That’s where PRP facial rejuvenation at New Vision Med Spa in Columbia, SC comes in. Often called a “PRP facial” or “PRP rejuvenation,” this treatment uses a concentrated portion of your own blood—platelet-rich plasma—to support your skin’s natural repair and renewal processes.

In this guide, we’ll walk through what PRP is, how a PRP facial works, who might benefit, and how it fits alongside other skin and wellness services at New Vision.

What Is PRP and Why Is It Used for Skin?

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. Your blood contains several components, including red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Platelets are rich in growth factors—signals your body uses to support healing and repair.

During a PRP facial, we draw a small sample of your blood and process it in a special device that separates the platelet-rich portion from the rest. That golden-hued plasma is then used on the skin, often in combination with techniques like micro-needling, to help encourage smoother texture, more radiance, and support for collagen.

Instead of introducing something foreign, PRP works with what your body already has. That’s part of why many people are drawn to it: they like the idea of a regenerative treatment that uses their own biology.

What Can PRP Facial Rejuvenation Help With?

PRP is not a replacement for every other skin treatment, and it’s not a one-time magic fix. But for the right candidate, it can be a powerful addition to a broader skin rejuvenation plan.

At New Vision, PRP facial rejuvenation may help improve the look and feel of:

• Overall dullness and lack of glow

• Early fine lines and crepey areas

• Mild textural irregularities

• Skin that looks a little “flattened” or tired

PRP is often a good fit for people who want their skin to look fresher and more elastic without changing their fundamental features. It’s less about erasing every line and more about helping your skin look alive, supported, and healthier over time.

What to Expect During a PRP Facial at New Vision

If you’re coming to New Vision Med Spa in Columbia, SC from Downtown Columbia (The Vista, Five Points) or surrounding areas, your PRP visit begins with a consultation.

We’ll talk about what’s been bothering you most. Is it a general lack of brightness? Fine lines around the eyes or mouth? Changes in texture on the cheeks or forehead? Have you had other treatments, like chemical peels or laser, in the past? What does “better” look like to you?

Once we’ve confirmed that PRP is a good option for your goals and skin type, here’s what a typical session may include:

• Preparation and blood draw: We’ll cleanse your skin and draw a small amount of blood—usually from your arm, much like a standard lab draw.

• Processing the PRP: Your blood sample is placed into a specialized device that spins it at high speed. This separates the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the components.

• Skin treatment step: Depending on your personalized plan, we may use micro-needling or other techniques to create micro-channels in the skin.

• Application of PRP: The PRP is then applied over the treated area, allowing those growth factors to come into contact with the channels we’ve created, so they can be absorbed and do their work.

• Post-care guidance: You’ll receive instructions about what to use—and what to avoid—on your skin over the next several days.

The whole visit is designed to be efficient while still giving you time to ask questions and feel comfortable at each step.

How PRP Fits with Other Skin Rejuvenation Treatments

PRP facial rejuvenation rarely exists in a vacuum. At New Vision, we often combine or sequence PRP with other treatments to support more comprehensive results.

For example, your broader plan might include:

• Custom facials to keep your skin clean, balanced, and hydrated

• Chemical peels to gently improve brightness and texture

• Motus Pro laser to address sun spots and uneven tone

• Skin revitalization and rejuvenation protocols for overall tone and smoothness

Once your skin is healthier and more balanced, PRP can add a layer of deeper, regenerative support. It’s one of the ways we bridge the gap between topical care and more intensive options.

We’ll talk with you about the best order for treatments, how much time to leave between sessions, and how to support your results at home.

Who Is (and Isn’t) a Good Candidate for PRP?

PRP is a versatile option, but it isn’t right for everyone.

You may be a good candidate if:

• You’re generally healthy and able to safely have a blood draw

• Your main concerns are dullness, fine lines, or mild texture changes

• You’re interested in a regenerative, gradual improvement rather than a dramatic, instant change

In other cases, we might suggest different or additional options instead—especially if you have certain medical conditions, blood disorders, or skin concerns that make PRP less appropriate.

During your consultation, we’ll review your health history, current medications, and skin status. If PRP isn’t the right fit, we’ll be honest and help you explore alternatives.

PRP Recovery and Results: What “Better” Can Look Like

After a PRP facial, it’s normal for your skin to look pink or slightly flushed, similar to a mild sunburn. Some people experience a bit of sensitivity or tightness for a day or two. We’ll give you clear instructions about how to care for your skin and when you can return to makeup or more active products.

Results from PRP are typically gradual. Over the weeks following treatment, many clients notice that their skin:

• Looks a bit more radiant or “awake”

• Feels smoother to the touch

• Shows a subtle softening of fine lines and crepey areas

For most people, a series of PRP treatments—spaced out over time—produces the most noticeable changes. We may then suggest maintenance sessions a few times per year, depending on your goals.

Our approach is always realistic. We won’t promise a complete transformation overnight. But we will work with you toward skin that looks clearer, more refreshed, and more aligned with how you want to feel.

How PRP Fits into a Whole-Body Wellness Approach

At New Vision, we see your skin as part of your overall well-being, not separate from it.

If stress, fatigue, or weight changes are also part of your story, you may benefit from a broader plan that includes:

• Massage therapy to help release tension and support better sleep

• IV hydration therapy to support energy and recovery in demanding seasons

• Medical Weight Loss & Management (GLP-1) for appropriate candidates who need structured support

As your body feels better, your skin often follows. PRP becomes one of several tools we can use to reflect those internal improvements on the outside.

Frequently Asked Questions About PRP Facial Rejuvenation

Is a PRP facial painful?

Most clients describe PRP facial rejuvenation as mildly uncomfortable rather than truly painful. We can use topical numbing and gentle techniques to help you stay as comfortable as possible. We’ll walk you through each step so you know what to expect.

How soon will I see results?

Some people notice a healthy glow within days. More structural changes—such as smoother texture or softened fine lines—tend to develop gradually over several weeks as your skin responds to the treatment. A series of sessions usually gives the most meaningful results.

How many PRP treatments will I need?

The ideal number depends on your starting point and goals. Many clients do a series of several sessions spaced weeks apart, then maintain periodically. During your consultation, we’ll outline a suggested plan that fits your life and budget.

Is PRP facial rejuvenation safe?

Because PRP uses components from your own blood, the risk of certain types of reactions is reduced compared to some other treatments. However, it’s still a medical procedure and must be performed properly. At New Vision Med Spa in Columbia, SC, we follow strict safety protocols, review your health history, and discuss any potential risks before moving forward.

Can PRP replace Botox or fillers?

PRP and injectables do different things. Botox in Columbia, SC is used to relax specific muscles that create expression lines. Dermal fillers restore volume and structure. PRP supports skin quality—glow, texture, and elasticity. Many people choose to combine them for a more comprehensive refresh.

If your skin has been looking more tired than you feel—and you’re curious about options that work with your body instead of against it—PRP facial rejuvenation at New Vision Med Spa in Columbia, SC may be worth exploring.

Schedule a consultation and let us help you decide whether PRP belongs in your skin rejuvenation journey, alongside the facials, peels, lasers, and wellness support that can help you look and feel more like the version of yourself you’re ready to step into.

We combine innovative aesthetic technology with personalized care to help you look and feel your best. From injectables and skin rejuvenation to body sculpting and wellness treatments, our expert team is here to guide your beauty journey with integrity, precision, and care.
