Who has heard of this? I suppose, if done professionally, it is one of those "live and let live" things, but..

The New Mexico Department of Health is urging anyone who received an injection at an Albuquerque spa to get tested after two people who had a "vampire facial" were diagnosed with HIV.

The agency is investigating after the HIV infections were detected in two clients of VIP Spa who received "vampire" facials — a procedure in which a person's own blood is injected into their face as a way of refreshing their skin — between March and September 2018.

I've heard of it and there is no way in hell I'd do anything like it. There's no many natural ways to freshen your face no need to do something like injecting blood into it. Gross.
 
That's a bit ****ed up.

As for vampire facials, I'm already pale and have prominent canines, so I'm good.

From NIBC News: "The infections came via 'injection related procedures,' state regulators said in a statement. The health department did not elaborate."

How does somebody else's HIV-infected blood get into somebody else's system except by dirty needles/equipment? (((Shudder)))
 
Seen the needle and the damage done....

Salons are advertising Botox injections. Last I heard, you needed to be a doctor to inject someone with a biotoxin.

Hey if a spa that doubles as a prostitution ring can get a customer like Robert Kraft, you can bet the next schmuck will try anything that sounds kinky.

Not sure if it originated with her, or if she just made it more public, but according to the comments here, it seems that most people are just as grossed out as we are.
 
Such a needless and thoughtless tragedy.
