The New Mexico Department of Health is urging people to get tested following two confirmed cases of the virus stemming from treatment at Albuquerque spa.
The New Mexico Department of Health is urging people who visited a now-closed Albuquerque spa to get themselves tested for HIV after two people contracted the virus following a so-called 'vampire facial.'
The clients who contracted HIV had received a vampire facial at the spa, which involves injecting a person’s blood into their own face to improve the skin. The VIP Spa closed in September 2018 after a joint investigation by the NMDOH and the New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department, Barbers and Cosmetologists Board found it underwent practices that could spread blood-borne infections such as HIV and hepatitis B and C.
The vampire facial involves drawing blood and placing it into a centrifuge in order to separate the Platelet Rich Plasma from the red blood cells and reinjecting it back into a person’s face. The facial gained worldwide attention in 2013 after Kim Kardashian posted a photo of her undergoing the procedure onto social media.
