Why Do Intimate Areas Darken Over Time? (6 Reasons)
While dark intimate areas are normal, they can be bothersome. Learn the reasons why private areas darken over time and what you can do about it.
O-Shot · Westchase, Tampa
At our Westchase Tampa flagship, the O-Shot is administered by providers under the medical direction of Dr. Tali Arviv, MD. The treatment uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) prepared from your own blood to support female sexual wellness.
The Flagship's PRP Bench
The O-Shot begins with a small blood draw. The sample is processed in a centrifuge to isolate platelet-rich plasma, which is then administered to the treatment area by your provider. The same PRP preparation process is used for our Tampa PRP treatments for the skin and scalp, making it a familiar protocol for our clinical team.
Whether the O-Shot is appropriate for you is determined during your consultation, based on your medical history, concerns, and treatment goals. Each treatment plan follows the clinical standards established by Dr. Tali Arviv, MD, who founded the practice in 2014. If treatment is not appropriate, your provider will discuss that with you directly.
The O-Shot is also available at our Miami location. Both locations follow the same treatment protocol, privacy standards, and physician-led clinical oversight.
Fourteen People, One Standard
The equipment that prepares PRP falls under the FDA's aesthetic devices oversight. The people using it fall under ours, and here is what that means in practice.
PRP treatments at our Westchase office include facial, scalp, and intimate wellness applications, all performed under the same clinical standards and protocol.
The Tampa office is supported by a 14-person team, including three advanced-practice providers, making it our most extensively staffed clinical location.
No photographs, no gallery, and no named guest quote in this category, at this or any Arviv location. That is policy, not oversight.
Your Visit
Four steps, one room, one provider from the first question to the follow-up. You are never passed down a hallway mid-visit, and nothing on this list is rushed to fit a schedule.
Every O-Shot begins with a private conversation about your concern, your history, and whether this treatment fits. Booking comes after that answer, never before it.
Your provider draws a small sample of your own blood and runs it through a centrifuge, separating the platelet-rich layer from the rest.
The concentrated platelets are administered by your provider in a private treatment room, with the full procedure completed during the same appointment.
Written aftercare instructions are provided following treatment. A follow-up visit is typically scheduled 8 to 12 weeks later to assess your progress and review the treatment plan.
Your Own Platelets
The O-Shot is prepared from platelets spun out of your own blood during the visit. Whether it belongs in your plan turns on things most people prefer to say in a room.
The conversation about what you are noticing happens first, in a closed room, and everything else follows from it. Book a consult, or read about the other intimate wellness options alongside it.
Who Treats You
In Their Words
No published review of this location describes the O-Shot: none of the hundred most recent we hold names it, and none of the ten review topics Google aggregates across all 760 does either, which is what you would expect of a private appointment. What guests write about is the office and the providers who work across our facial and injectable services. Read more reviews from guests across all three Florida locations.
“Danielle is just the best, so sweet and caring. She is wonderful at what she does. I love Arviv Medical, been going here for over ten years.”
“The staff here are amazing. Super nice, and make you feel very comfortable. Prices are very reasonable. Definitely recommend.”
“Emily is throughly professional and skilled . I have complete confidence in her hands for good outcomes.”
Individual results vary. Reviews describe one guest’s experience and are not a promise of outcome.
Westchase, Tampa
The Tampa office sits on Countryway Boulevard in Westchase, an easy reach from Citrus Park and Carrollwood and, just over the county line, Oldsmar and Safety Harbor. If your week runs between Hillsborough and Pinellas, the visit fits either direction.

Hours
A provider working under physician oversight, the same standard Dr. Arviv has held the practice to since founding it in 2014. Tampa carries the largest clinical team of our three locations, with three advanced-practice providers on staff, and your consult and treatment both happen with a provider in a private room.
Your provider walks you through the full list at your consult. In general, PRP guests pause anti-inflammatory medication and blood-thinning supplements in the days before the visit, skip alcohol for a few days, and arrive hydrated after a healthy breakfast. A prescribed medication is never stopped without your prescribing doctor’s input.
Mild soreness at the treatment area can happen. You stay hydrated, hold off on anti-inflammatories for two weeks (Tylenol is fine), skip alcohol for a week, and plan a follow-up around 8 to 12 weeks out. The same PRP aftercare applies to the P-Shot, its counterpart for men.
Book a Consult online, or call or text (813) 855-0111 and ask for Westchase. New patients start with a paid consultation applied toward your treatment plan, and financing is available if that plan calls for it.
