The video documents a full Radiant Facial treatment performed on patient Rebecca. The session begins with a consultation where Rebecca outlines her skin concerns—fine lines, texture, redness, pores, and dark spots—seeking a more youthful appearance. After applying a topical anesthetic, the clinic staff draw Rebecca’s blood to prepare platelet‑rich plasma (PRP). The first active step is Venus Viva radio‑frequency treatment, during which Rebecca reports a cool, numb, and mildly prickling sensation. Next, the PRP is centrifuged, extracted, and combined with microneedling to infuse the plasma into the skin. Finally, the practitioner injects PRP into specific volume‑deficit areas (nasolabial folds, labiomental crease, and tear troughs) to stimulate collagen production. Rebecca expresses enthusiasm, describing the experience as “awesome” and anticipating impressive post‑treatment results.

Hi, this is Rebecca. She's here today for her Radiant Facial. So Rebecca, what are some of the things you're looking to improve?
Hi everyone, I'm looking to improve the fine lines that I have here in this area, as well as the texture of my skin around the eye area, and just an overall rejuvenation of my skin, especially the redness, the pores, and even the— excuse me— the dark spots that I have here on my skin. So I'm just looking for an overall Youthful look.
All right, great. Well, we'll get started. All right, so now we've put some topical anesthetic on your face. How does it feel?
It feels kind of cool and a little bit numb. I think it's working itself in the process.
So we've drawn her blood. This is getting ready for our PRP, so we're going to put it in the centrifuge now. So we're here with Rebecca, and she's now undergoing the first part of the Radiant Facial, which is the Venus Viva radio frequency. How are you feeling?
Feeling pretty good, just feel a little bit of a prickling sensation, kind of like for those of you that have had a microdermabrasion, kind of feels a little bit similar to that.
So you finished the radiofrequency portion, the Venus Viva, and how do you feel?
I feel pretty good, it's not too bad, just kind of prickly and tingly sensation.
Okay, great. So we're gonna move on next to the PRP with the microneedling to give yourself a really nice fresh skin.
Perfect. We're extracting the PRP from the tube. It separated out the platelet-rich plasma from her blood, which you can see is right here at the tip, red blood cells. There we go.
So here we're doing the microneedling component over the PRP, so we're placing the PRP into the skin. We've completed the Venus Viva radiofrequency portion as well as the microneedling and the, the PRP. So now we're looking at areas of volume deficit and injecting the PRP to stimulate collagen growth. So where have you done it so far?
I've done it in the nasolabial folds, the labial mental crease, and the tear trough on this side, and I just started doing the tear trough on Okay, great. So I'm gonna keep going.
We just finished the Radiant Facial.
What do you think?
Oh, it's awesome. Pain is beauty. But keep in mind that afterwards it's gonna look amazing, and I'm looking forward to seeing that.
