Kim Kardashian has had one on her reality show "Kourtney and Kim Take Miami." So have other celebrities and average women in the pursuit of a more youthful appearance.
It's the latest celebrity anti-aging craze, called a "blood facial" or "vampire facial," in which a doctor draws blood from the arm, separates out the plasma and platelets, and then applies the platelet-rich plasma onto the face. For extra absorption, micro-needles are used on the skin before the facial is applied.
