Four Women Contract HIV From Beauty Spa 'Vampire Facial' Made Popular By Kim Kardashian!

perezhilton.com:

This is awful! Per a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday, multiple women contracted HIV after getting a vampire facial at a spa in New Mexico.

So scary!!! For those who don’t know what a vampire facial is, here’s the rundown. As the CDC put it, the procedure calls for “drawing a client’s blood, separating the blood into its components of plasma and cells, and using single-use disposable or multi use sterile equipment to inject the PRP into the face for cosmetic purposes.” Basically, the facial uses the client’s blood and injects it into the face to (hopefully) rejuvenate the skin.

And you’ve most likely seen some of the pictures of the procedure online — such as the one of Kim Kardashian from 2013 in which she had blood all over her face.

If not, check it out (below): It seemed like a unique new treatment, right? Well, Kim regretted the procedure afterward! Per Grazia, she once wrote in a blog post that she would never get a vampire facial again since it was “rough” and “painful.” And FYI, she also sued the doctor who did it in 2019 for using her name and likeness to promote the facial.
