Many TV series and movies based on vampires have been made. According to this, vampires are dangerous but beautiful-looking monsters who drink blood. More or less, the concept of vampire facial must have been introduced in the beauty industry considering this connection between drinking blood and beauty. Today in this article we are going to tell you in detail about this unique facial, but before that, you should know about a serious matter related to it.
In 2018, three women got vampire facials at a New Mexico spa, after which they were found to be HIV infected. The suspicion of a connection between facials and HIV infection is increasing when no such factors have been found in the lifestyle of women who are responsible for AIDS. Let us tell you that all three women have died. Besides, the spa from where she got her facial done has also been sealed.
Vampire facial comes with serious risks
According to the Washington Post, the Centers for Disease Control prepared and shared a report related to this matter on April 25, in which vampire facials were found to be associated with several serious health risks.
What is a vampire facial?
Vampire facials, also known as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) facials, are a cosmetic procedure. In this, blood is drawn from the face of the person getting the facial done and platelets are extracted from it. It is then injected back into the face or applied after a microneedling procedure.
Benefits of the vampire facial
Regarding this facial, it is claimed that platelets help in the development of collagen and skin cells. Due to this, wrinkles, spots, and effects of aging are less visible. Let us tell you that there is very little scientific reason behind the benefits of vampire facials. In 2013, American reality TV star Kim Kardashian also got a vampire facial done.
How expensive is a vampire facial?
The price of a vampire facial largely depends on where you get it done. But microneedling alone costs at least $200. This entire procedure can cost anywhere from $1,000-$2,000.
