Jala News: Vampire Facials Linked to HIV Cases at Unlicensed Medical Spa
In a shocking turn of events, vampire facials have been linked to cases of HIV at an unlicensed medical spa in New Mexico. A recent investigation by the CDC found that clients had contracted HIV through contaminated blood during the popular facial procedure.
Vampire facials, also known as platelet-rich plasma microneedling facials, involve drawing blood from the client, separating platelets, and injecting them back into the face. The procedure, popularized by celebrities like Kim Kardashian, is said to have rejuvenating and anti-aging effects.
Health officials have emphasized the importance of proper infection control in spa facilities to prevent the transmission of bloodborne pathogens. Nearly 200 former clients of the spa were tested for HIV, but fortunately, no additional infections were found.
The former owner of the spa pleaded guilty to practicing medicine without a license and conducting unlicensed vampire facials. The spa was closed in fall 2018 after the investigation was launched, and the owner was sentenced to prison with supervised probation.
This shocking incident serves as a reminder of the risks associated with unregulated medical procedures. Clients are advised to only seek treatments from licensed and reputable facilities to avoid potential health hazards. Jala News will continue to keep you updated on this developing story.
