At Melior Clinics in Tallinn, PRP is offered for the face, neck and d\u00e9collet\u00e9, the eye area, the scalp, scars and acne, the intimate area, and joint and muscle pain. PlasmaLifting with plasma gel is also available.","melior_seo_body":"<h2>What plasma therapy is and how it works<\/h2><p>A small amount of blood is drawn from a vein and spun in a centrifuge to separate plasma rich in platelets, which release growth factors involved in tissue repair and collagen formation. The plasma is injected under the skin with fine needles or applied during microneedling.<\/p><p>Because it comes from the patient's own blood, the plasma contains no foreign substances. The effect develops gradually and depends on health, age and the area. In PlasmaLifting, the plasma is heated in a controlled way until it becomes a gel, which is injected under the skin as a body-derived filler, for example in the cheeks or nasolabial folds.<\/p><h2>Plasma treatments at Melior Clinics<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/melior.ee\/en\/teenus-toode\/plasma-therapy\/\">Plasma therapy<\/a> \u2013 face, neck, d\u00e9collet\u00e9 and hands<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/melior.ee\/en\/teenus-toode\/plasmalifting\/\">PlasmaLifting<\/a> \u2013 plasma gel<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/melior.ee\/en\/teenus-toode\/plasma-therapy-for-eyes\/\">PRP RICH eye therapy<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/melior.ee\/en\/teenus-toode\/plasma-therapy-for-hair\/\">Plasma therapy for hair<\/a> \u2013 thinning hair<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/melior.ee\/en\/teenus-toode\/plasma-therapy-for-scars\/\">Plasma therapy for scars<\/a> \u2013 acne, surgical and injury scars, stretch marks<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/melior.ee\/en\/teenus-toode\/prp-therapy-for-acne\/\">PRP therapy for acne<\/a> \u2013 face or back<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/melior.ee\/en\/teenus-toode\/prp-for-intimate-areas\/\">PRP for intimate areas<\/a> \u2013 carried out by a trained midwife<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/melior.ee\/en\/teenus-toode\/plasma-therapy-for-pain-and-inflammation\/\">Plasma therapy for pain and inflammation<\/a> \u2013 shoulders, knees, back<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/melior.ee\/en\/prices\/\">Prices are listed in the price list<\/a><\/li><\/ul><h2>What the treatment involves<\/h2><p>A consultation comes first, covering health, medication and goals. Plenty of water the day before and no alcohol or fatty food for 24 hours help plasma quality. Blood thinners are mentioned in advance; with a fever or a cold the treatment is postponed.<\/p><p>A session usually takes 45\u201360 minutes (30\u201345 for the intimate area). Numbing cream or local anaesthetic is used if needed. Course length depends on the area: for the face and scars usually 2\u20133 sessions 3\u20134 weeks apart, for hair 3\u20134 sessions 4 weeks apart.

Maintenance sessions are often done once or twice a year.<\/p><h3>Does a PRP facial hurt?<\/h3><p>Most patients describe mild stinging and pricking; the eye area and scalp are more sensitive, and numbing cream is used there if needed.<\/p><h3>When can results be seen?<\/h3><p>First changes on the face are often noticed within 1\u20132 weeks, and with hair after 4\u20136 weeks; the effect builds over the course.<\/p><h3>Is PRP used for hair loss?<\/h3><p>Yes, PRP is used for thinning hair, for example after childbirth or a stressful period, to support blood supply to the follicles. Results vary with how many follicles are still active, and the cause of hair loss should be clarified first.<\/p><p>The service is provided by Melior Clinics (Star Company O\u00dc, Estonian Health Board (Terviseamet) licence L04198), Liivalaia 53, Tallinn, Stockmann department store, 5th floor.<\/p>"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/melior.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/901","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/melior.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/melior.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/melior.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
