PICS: Kim Kardashian gets a “blood facial”
 |
Kim Kardashian has taken her beauty routine to a whole new level! The reality star went to a crazy extreme to achieve good skin on Sunday’s episode of ‘Kourtney & Kim Take Miami’.
Taking her BFF Jonathan Cheban’s advice, the 32-year-old underwent a “blood facial.”
For the procedure, doctors draw blood from the arm, spin out the platelets, and then re-apply the blood to the skin via tiny needles.
For the out-there procedure, doctors draw blood from the arm, spin out the platelets and then apply the blood onto the via tiny needles. “I love trying anything that makes you look and feel youthful,” the now-pregnant Kim reasoned.
The experience may not have been worth it, however. “Oh my god! I will never get a facelift if it feels like that.” On Sunday, she tweeted a pic from the experience. “Look what @jonathancheban did to me!”
Here’s more from Huff Po:
The made-for-horror movie cosmetic procedure is gaining popularity in the U.S. because it’s an “organic alternative to those that require chemical injections,” according to Dr. Sam Lam, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon based in Dallas, Texas.
“The patient’s own platelet rich plasma (PRP) is applied to the skin preceded by a laser treatment and followed by a micro-needling process in which the skin is perforated with near microscopic holes,” explains Dr. Lam. “The growth factors in the platelet rich plasma reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving the skin’s tone and texture.”
On the latest episode of “Kourtney & Kim Take Miami,” she gives us an up-close view of the vampire facial. With her BFF Jonathan Cheban by her side, Kimmy can’t help but scream out over the agonizing buzzing of the laser: “Oww! That hurts so badly.”
Would you do a vampire facial??

I don’t want to sound like a b****, but maybe a better use of blood would be to donate it? Such a waste.

Sickening.

There’s something very, very wrong with people who would do this.

This isn’t Kim’s first facial, just ask Kanye. He gives her facials all the time.

I can’t stand her!! And I don’t really see what good that would do. Flipping idiots.

She’s 32. She’s young. What the hell is wrong with her? And aging is a normal process, people who try to prevent it look ridiculous (Joan Rivers & co.). Donation would be a much better option, since you are saving lives, versus the vanity. Though, to each his/her own.
So, let me recap to make sure I get this: you take your own blood (the same stuff that’s in the capillaries under your skin, anyway) and then spin it down, concentrate it (spin it, remove unnecessary cells), and inject it back into your skin? Yeah, this makes perfect sense.

If Kim needs a facial she should contact Peter North.
