If you’ve ever wished your skin could just “bounce back” the way it used to—smoother texture, more glow, fewer fine lines—without looking like you’ve had obvious work done, PRP facial rejuvenation may be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
At New Vision Med Spa in Columbia, SC, we offer PRP facials as a way to tap into your body’s own regenerative potential. Instead of relying solely on synthetic fillers or aggressive resurfacing, PRP uses the healing components in your own blood to gently support healthier, more radiant skin over time.
Patients visit us from Columbia, Forest Acres, Irmo, Lexington, Cayce, West Columbia, and Northeast Columbia (Sandhills area) looking for a treatment that feels both modern and natural. PRP facial rejuvenation sits right at that intersection.
In this guide, we’ll walk through what PRP is, how the treatment works, what it can help with, and how it fits into a bigger skin and wellness plan at New Vision.
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. Your blood contains red cells, white cells, platelets, and plasma. Platelets are rich in growth factors—natural signaling proteins that play a key role in healing and tissue repair.
During a PRP facial at New Vision Med Spa, we draw a small amount of your blood and spin it in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate those platelets. The result is a golden plasma that’s packed with growth factors tailored to your own body.
That platelet-rich plasma is then used on your skin—either layered over a micro-channeled surface or injected into targeted areas—to help support collagen, elasticity, and overall skin quality.
Instead of adding volume from the outside, PRP is designed to encourage your skin to work better from within.
PRP facial rejuvenation is not a one-size-fits-all miracle, but it can be a powerful tool when used thoughtfully.
At New Vision, we often recommend PRP facials for patients who are concerned about:
Overall dullness or “tired-looking” skin
Early fine lines and mild creasing
Uneven texture, including subtle acne scarring
Loss of elasticity or bounce
Because PRP is about quality more than dramatic instant changes, results tend to show up as a gradual improvement in how your skin looks and feels. Many patients start to notice:
Smoother texture when they touch their cheeks or apply makeup
Slightly tighter, fresher-looking skin around key areas
A healthier, more rested glow that’s hard to define but easy to see in photos
For patients in Downtown Columbia (The Vista, Five Points), Forest Acres, Irmo, and Lexington who want their skin to look like “them on a really good day,” PRP can be an excellent fit.
We understand that the idea of using your own blood in a facial can sound a little intense at first. In reality, the process is structured, clean, and more comfortable than many people expect.
Before anything else, you’ll meet with a provider to talk through your goals and review your health history. We’ll examine your skin, ask what bothers you most, and discuss whether PRP is the right tool—or whether another option, like chemical peels, Motus Pro laser, or skin revitalization treatments, might make more sense.
We’ll also talk about timing if you have events, photos, or travel coming up.
If PRP is a good fit and you decide to move forward, a small amount of blood is drawn—similar to what you’d experience during routine labs. That sample is placed into a centrifuge, which spins it at high speed to separate the components and concentrate the platelets.
Within minutes, we’re left with platelet-rich plasma ready to be used in your treatment.
Depending on your plan, we may use techniques such as micro-needling or targeted injections to deliver the PRP more effectively into the skin.
With a micro-needling-style approach, tiny channels are created in the skin, and PRP is applied over the surface so it can absorb more deeply.
With targeted injections, PRP can be placed in specific areas where you’d like more support, such as under the eyes or along areas of concern.
Your provider will explain which method (or combination) is recommended for your goals and comfort level.
After a PRP facial, your skin may look pink or slightly flushed, similar to a mild sunburn. You might also experience brief tightness or sensitivity. These effects typically settle within a short period.
We’ll provide you with clear aftercare instructions, which may include avoiding heavy sun exposure, pausing certain active skincare ingredients, and keeping the skin gently moisturized as it recovers.
PRP facial rejuvenation is a gradual treatment rather than an instant transformation.
Some patients notice a refreshed glow within days or weeks as the skin responds to treatment. Deeper changes, like improved texture and elasticity, often appear gradually over a series of sessions.
A typical plan for patients in the Columbia area may include several PRP facials spaced weeks apart, followed by periodic maintenance sessions to support ongoing results. During your consultation, we’ll outline a timeline based on your goals, age, and skin condition.
Because PRP is stimulating your own collagen and tissue processes, results aren’t “turned on” or “off” overnight. Instead, they build and evolve over time, especially when paired with good daily skincare and sun protection.
There are a few reasons PRP facial rejuvenation has become a favorite among our patients:
It feels natural and personalized, since it’s based on your own plasma.
It’s a strong option for people who want improvement but don’t feel ready for more dramatic changes or heavy downtime.
It pairs beautifully with other med spa services, such as Botox, dermal fillers, Motus Pro laser treatments, chemical peels, and IV hydration therapy.
At New Vision, we take time with each patient—from Cayce and West Columbia to Northeast Columbia and beyond—to understand what “better” means to them. For some, that’s a softer under-eye area. For others, it’s smoother texture along the cheeks or a more vibrant overall complexion.
Our approach is always grounded in safety, clarity, and realistic expectations.
Most patients describe PRP results as “refreshed” rather than dramatically different. The focus is on improving quality—texture, tone, and glow—rather than changing the shape or proportions of your face. If you’d like more structural changes, we may discuss combining PRP with options like dermal fillers.
You may feel brief discomfort during blood draw and some sensitivity during micro-needling or injections. We use appropriate comfort measures, such as topical numbing, to keep you as relaxed as possible. Most patients from Lexington, Forest Acres, and Irmo find the experience very tolerable.
The number of sessions depends on your starting point and goals. Many patients begin with a series of treatments and then move into occasional maintenance. During your consultation at New Vision Med Spa in Columbia, SC, we’ll outline a customized plan and help you understand timelines.
Expect some temporary redness, sensitivity, or mild swelling after your PRP facial. Most people feel comfortable returning to low-key daily activities fairly quickly, but you may prefer to avoid major events or heavy makeup for a short time while your skin settles.
Because PRP uses your own blood, it is generally well-tolerated for a wide range of skin types. However, not everyone is a candidate. We’ll review your health history, medications, and skin condition to ensure PRP is appropriate and safe for you.
If you’re ready for your skin to look a little more like it used to—or even better—without feeling overdone or artificial, PRP facial rejuvenation at New Vision Med Spa in Columbia, SC may be a beautiful next step.
