Kim Kardashian Has 'Bloody' Time With Vampire Face-Lift

Gotta love Kim Kardashian's desire to stay one step ahead of the competition when it comes to beauty.

Look at the Twitter photo. There's the 31-year-old reality star posing half-way through a vampire facelift or blood facial, as this procedure is called.

She showed the bizarre skin care treatment to the world in last night's episode of  'Kourtney & Kim Take Miami.' You can also hear the mom-to-be wincing in pain during the injections and vowing, "I will never get a facelft!"

We heard about the vampire facelift a couple of years ago.

It's not surgery, but another form of facial filler, similar to the injecting procedures of synthetic Juvederm, Restylane and Perlane.

But a blood facial is real---your own platelets used to put volume + youth back into your face.

Here's the quick procedure:

1. Blood is drawn from your arm.
2. It is spun in a centrifuge to separate out the platelets.
3. Platelets are then injected into your face.

Why blood?

Because it can hopefully stimulate new collagen production, but primarily to add volume to hollow parts of the face, as well as fill in lines, wrinkles + folds.

The vampire facelift is supposed to last 2 years, but there is no real proof of that.

Kim K certainly doesn't need this cosmetic enhancement at age 31. She's young + gorgeous. Why even go there?

Then again, this ain't Kim K's first rodeo as the saying goes. The reality star is very aware of beauty + cosmetic advances out there. "It's all about the pretty," for Kim, and she's aiming to keep her beauty out front and center for as long as she can.

Would you undergo a vampire facial?
