It's the bloody secret Kim Kardashian is turning to in order stay beautiful and it isn't for the faint of heart.
It's being called the vampire facelift or the vampire facial. It promises younger, firmer-looking skin.
Kim underwent the procedure on the latest episode of Kourtney and Kim Take Miami. First, blood is taken from her arm, and then spun into a platelet-rich plasma.

Kim tweeted a photo of what she looked like after the procedure and her face was a bloody mess. Some are even comparing it to the horror movie, Carrie.

Cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Amiya Prasad, says he performs four vampire facelifts a week at his office in Manhattan.
