We talked to a board-certified derma to shed light on this cosmetic procedure
It first broke the internet back in 2018 when Kim Kardashian shared a post on her Instagram account showing her bloody face. According to her, it was because of the"vampire facial," a cosmetic procedure effective for skin rejuvenation and collagen production, but something she’ll never try again.In 2024, this particular facial has made headlines again for both good and bad reasons.
According to Dr. Geraldez, vampire facial, or platelet-rich plasma treatment, involves drawing blood from the patient. The blood is then put into a centrifuge and separated into three layers: plasma, platelets and blood cells, and red blood cells.“This has been offered in the Philippines for 10 years already. After processing the blood as a serum,” she said. “Then a microneedling device will be used to allow blood to go inside .
Since it uses microneedles, vampire treatment can be painful. This is likely why Kim Kardashian swore not to do it again. But who can have this procedure done? According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, vampire facials are safe for most people except for those with Hepatitis C, HIV or AIDS, any type of blood cancer, cardiovascular disease, and skin cancer.
