KIM Kardashian’s face is left dripping with blood as she undergoes an agonising new beauty treatment. She said beforehand: "I love trying anything that makes you look and feel youthful."
The blood facial process involves medics taking blood from the arm, before separating the platelets, and then INJECTING it into the face. Shocking ... Kim Kardashian's face was covered in specs of blood after treatment.

The $1,500 treatment that promises younger, firmer-looking skin - trademarked by Alabama doctor Charles Runels draws blood from the patient’s arm with a needle and separates the platelets into a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) using a centrifuge. The plasma is then combined with Restylane or Juvederm, and then injected into the face to stimulate collagen production to create new skin and to remove fine lines and acne scars. The 45-minute Facelift is expected to be such a hit in Hollywood that a gift certificate for the painful procedure was included in this year’s Academy Awards swag bag.

“Ow, that hurts so bad!” cries the reality star in the clip as blood streams down her face.
The extreme reaction is because her treatment includes the invasive Dermapen, a device that uses nine tiny motorized needles to cause puncture wounds in the skin before applying the platelet-rich plasma mixure.
But Kim isn't the only star to do anything for a pretty face. Oprah is partial to anti-aging cream SkinMedica, which contains human foreskin. Madonna has used an oxygen machine to keep her skin looking young. Demi Moore has used leeches to detoxify her blood, and Gwyneth Paltrow reportedly raved about a snake venom beauty cream.
This facial treatment looks way more aggressive than a regular facial, but it’s justified because skin quality improves quite nicely. Doctors say that clients notice results in a couple of days that last four to six months.
