Have you heard of the Vampire facial?

Many women are always craving for the next big thing that will make their faces look younger and flawless.  But to what extreme are you willing to get these results?  Kim Kardashian experiments with this new trend of getting a Vampire facial.  What is the vampire facial?  The facial involves withdrawing blood from your arm to retrieve the blood platelets, growth factors, and stem cells.  A mixture is created with all of these and re-injected into your face with tiny needles all throughout your face.  This is done to rebuild collagen and smooth skin.

This facial is painful and leaves your face swollen but I still wonder how many women are still willing to go through this excruciating procedure in the name of beauty.  You have to wait at least a day or two before your face looks normal again.  Another debate is that the procedure should be with a yellow plasma and not red blood like Kim Kardashian showed on her TV reality show.  Regardless of whether it is yellow or red, it just doesn’t sit well with me.

I don’t know about you but even if they tell me that there is no danger or risk of infection, I just prefer not to have any blood not even my own anywhere near me.  Just to think about the risk of infection or anything going wrong is appalling.  It also makes me feel uncomfortable to know that this is not FDA approved and scarred that many people will do this facial only because a celebrity did it.  The scary part is that there are some parts of the states that do not even need a physician to be present while this procedure is being done.

There really isn’t any studies that prove that this vampire facial works.  If you still want to try this procedure, at least make sure that it is under a doctor’s care and preferably one that has experience with cosmetic facial treatment.

    I had no idea it was re-injecting the blood! This seems wrong on so many levels. Crazy ones at that!

      You are absolutely right and I just hope that nothing happens for those who are actually doing it.

    I’d read about this before and that post gave the impression it was mixed with something and then massaged onto the face like most other facials and I thought that was bad enough! x
