Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections use the natural healing qualities of the plasma in our blood to promote a healthy, youthful complexion, improve skin texture, and stimulate the natural production of collagen.
At Elegance Aesthetics in Columbia, MD, our PRP Injection treatment can help you harness the power of your own DNA to turn back the hands of time and look and feel younger and more radiant.
Read on to learn more about PRP Injections from Elegance Aesthetics.
What is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma, or PRP, is a component found in our blood. PRP treatments use the regenerative properties of PRP to boost your body’s natural healing abilities.
Most PRP treatments start with a small amount of blood being drawn. The blood is then taken away and put into a centrifuge, a scientific machine that uses centrifugal force to separate the PRP from the other components of the blood.
PRP is full of platelets that contain growth factors. When injected back into the body, these factors stimulate natural collagen production and encourage tissue healing and regeneration.
What Are PRP Injections Used For?
At Elegance Aesthetics, we utilize PRP treatments to tackle a variety of different aesthetic concerns. PRP can be an effective way to treat the following:
Acne Scarring
The concentrated platelets in PRP encourage our tissues to heal and repair. Because of this, people struggling with acne scarring can see an appearance in the texture of their skin with regular treatments.
Hyperpigmentation
The growth factors present in PRP can help the skin to regenerate over time. With regular PRP treatments, people can see a noticeable improvement in their skin tone, reversing hyperpigmentation and sun damage.
Skin Texture and Tone
Regular PRP treatments can help you achieve a more radiant skin tone and uniform texture by minimizing pores, healing dry patches, and smoothing out the skin.
Lines and Wrinkles
PRP treatments stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity, reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. With regular treatments, you can notice a smoothing and plumping of the skin as collagen production is naturally increased.
Dark and Hollow Undereyes
PRP treatments can help with tired-looking under-eyes by stimulating natural collagen production. Over time, an improvement in skin elasticity and thickness can reduce dark circles and plump up hollow eyes.
Stretch Marks and Scars
The natural collagen production that occurs when undergoing regular PRP treatments can help to minimize the appearance of stretch marks. PRP also accelerates tissue repair, aiding healing and reducing the appearance of scars.
Why Choose PRP Injections?
Here are some of the main reasons why PRP injections are a popular treatment for patients looking to heal and rejuvenate their skin:
Less Risk: PRP uses platelets and plasma derived from your own blood, so there is very little risk of adverse reactions.
Faster Healing: PRP boosts your body’s ability to heal, so you recover faster and see your results quicker.
Collagen Stimulation: Regular PRP treatments boost natural collagen production, improving skin texture and tone and making it look more youthful.
Less Downtime: PRP injections require very little downtime, so you can get back to your daily life as soon as possible.
Long-Lasting: PRP results can last up to 18 months, and the treatment’s rejuvenating effects gradually improve over time.

Here is what you can expect when you undergo PRP Injections with ELegance Aesthetics in Columbia, MD:
Consultation
All of our treatments at Elegance Aesthetics begin with a comprehensive consultation with one of our experienced Elegance practitioners. During your first appointment, you will discuss your aesthetic concerns and what you can expect from the PRP treatment.
Your practitioner will also conduct an extensive evaluation of your skin’s current condition and your medical history to ensure that PRP treatments are a viable option for you.
Using the information gathered, your practitioner will create a comprehensive treatment plan that details the PRP treatment process, the results you can expect, and a detailed cost breakdown.
PRP Treatment Day
On the day of the PRP injection procedure, you should arrive at Elegance Aesthetics with clean, makeup-free skin. Your Elegance practitioner will then guide you to one of our state-of-the-art treatment rooms, where the PRP process begins.
Here are the steps involved in the PRP treatment:
- Blood Draw and Preparation: A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm.
- PRP Preparation: Your blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate the PRP from the other components.
- Injection Process: The concentrated PRP is carefully injected into the targeted areas of your face using fine needles.
The entire process should take 60 to 90 minutes. Most patients say the PRP procedure is relatively painless. Still, we can provide a topical numbing cream to alleviate any discomfort.
PRP Aftercare
Your Elegance practitioner will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions. These will cover what to expect for the next few days and anything that you should and shouldn’t do to increase the efficacy of the treatment.
Some patients experience mild swelling, redness, and bruising, which will subside within a few days following the treatment.
