Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) uses your own blood to do the work: a small sample is processed to concentrate the growth factors in your platelets, which are then placed where the skin needs repairing. It improves fine lines, uneven tone and laxity without introducing anything your body did not already make.
At the Be Dharma clinic in Medellín, PRP is a biocompatible option — there is nothing to be allergic to, because it comes from you — that speeds up tissue repair and rejuvenates the skin gradually.
Benefits of Platelet-Rich Plasma
It stimulates hair growth at the root
PRP improves blood supply to the scalp and reactivates follicles that have gone dormant, which encourages new, stronger hair. It is an effective option for mild to moderate hair loss without medication.
It gets your skin making collagen again
PRP activates fibroblasts — the cells that produce collagen and elastin — which shows up as visibly firmer, more elastic skin. The change is gradual and does not alter how your face moves.
Better texture and brightness
Because it works by regenerating tissue, PRP smooths the surface of the skin, reduces enlarged pores and brings back its natural glow. It suits anyone whose skin looks dull or uneven after long sun exposure or a stressful stretch.
Fewer fine lines and expression lines
The cell stimulation PRP produces repairs tissue in areas that have aged, softening surface wrinkles around the eyes, the forehead and the corners of the mouth — without an invasive procedure.
It works on the neck, chest and hands
PRP is not only for the face. The neck, décolletage and backs of the hands — the areas that usually give away age first — respond well, with visible gains in firmness, tone and texture.
It strengthens thinning hair
The growth factors in PRP feed the scalp and strengthen the follicle at its base, which helps slow progressive hair loss and improves density and condition within a few sessions.
Where PRP Can Be Applied
Platelet-rich plasma is versatile: it can be used on different areas of the face and body, and what gets treated depends on what each patient actually needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Platelet-Rich Plasma
What is platelet-rich plasma?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a medical and aesthetic treatment that uses a small sample of your own blood, processed to extract the growth factors held in your platelets. Those components are then injected into specific areas to stimulate cell regeneration, improve skin quality and speed up natural recovery.
How much does PRP cost in Medellín?
The cost of PRP in Medellín depends on the area treated, the technique used and how many sessions you need. At Be Dharma we build the plan around your goals, so the exact figure comes out of a consultation rather than a price list.
What are the benefits of PRP?
The main ones:
It gets your skin producing collagen again.
It improves texture, firmness and brightness.
It reduces expression lines, fine wrinkles and enlarged pores.
It supports hair regeneration.
It is minimally invasive and biocompatible — it comes from you.
Is PRP used for knees?
Yes. In regenerative medicine, PRP is also used for joint injuries and to improve pain in areas such as the knees, by reducing inflammation and stimulating tissue repair. It is a complementary option for joint wear or sports injuries. At Be Dharma this use has to be assessed by a specialist first — it is not an aesthetic indication.
What is facial PRP?
Facial PRP is applied directly to the face to work on signs of aging, pigmentation, laxity and loss of brightness. It is sometimes called a biological lift: it works from inside the skin, regenerating it without changing its structure or your expression.
Does PRP work for hair?
Yes. PRP for hair is designed to strengthen the follicles, improve blood supply to the scalp and encourage growth. It suits mild to moderate hair loss, androgenetic alopecia, or as part of a wider hair restoration plan.
