KUWTK is bringing the vampire facial back after Kourtney Kardashian cosigns on the trendy beauty treatment
Kim and Kourtney Kardashian have amazing skin and both KUWTK stars have used the vampire facial to stay looking young and healthy.
On an old episode of Kourtney & Kim Take Miami, Kim Kardashian shocked everyone when she sat for a vampire facial on camera. It turns out that she’s not the only KUWTK star who has been taking advantage of the gruesome beauty treatment. Kourtney Kardashian is also a fan and recently reminded everyone of the controversial beauty treatment.
It turns out that there is a bit of science behind the vampire facial. It’s not just a trendy beauty treatment for ghouls and bloodsuckers. Those who pay for access to Kourtney Kardashian’s app probably saw what she had to say about it.

If you want to be like the KUWTK stars and sit for a vampire facial, there are a few things to know first. The procedure uses plasma from your own blood. That means, prior to sitting for the facial, blood is drawn and then placed in a machine that spins it to separate the platelet-rich plasma from everything else.
“Before the treatment, your skin will be prepped and you’ll receive microneedling or microdermabrasion,” Kourtney explained. “The PRP will then be applied like a serum and penetrated into the skin with small needles.”
“After the treatment, your skin will be a bit red—they advise to not put anything on your skin at all for 24 hours. If I’m home for the weekend, I will keep my skin product-free even longer.”

Kourtney explained that getting a vampire facial works because your skin is tricked into thinking that it’s damaged. The application of the platelet-rich plasma onto the surface of the skin and into the areas where the skin has been intentionally damaged helps during the healing process. In the end, your facial skin will be even healthier and will glow better than before.
When Kim Kardashian had her vampire facial performed on reality TV, it looked pretty painful. After all, your skin does get damaged in order for the plasma to be applied and absorbed. Some say that the process is really painful while others have said that it’s mildly irritating. Either way, it’s no secret that some pain is necessary when it comes to maintaining the highest beauty standards.
As for whether the vampire facial works and whether it is a healthy way to get a nice glow, based on Kourtney Kardashian’s approval, it probably is. Of all the KarJenner sisters, Kourtney is the most health conscious. She’s very careful about what she puts in and on her body.
The oldest KUWTK sister doesn’t use self-tanners and she doesn’t sit in tanning booths. She also shies away from products that have questionable chemicals or that may do more harm than good. When it comes to the vampire facial, despite being a little bit bloody and gross looking, it’s probably one of the safest and most natural ways to trick your skin into looking younger and clearer than ever.
