Some "Vampire" Facials linked to HIV transmission -The CDC has issued a warning

[Anonymous]

A recent CDC report has raised alarm bells about the potential health risks associated with certain cosmetic procedures, including Botox injections and “vampire facials.” The report, issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), links these procedures to HIV transmission due to unsanitary conditions.

Are these procedures worth the risk?

WTF!!
They draw your blood, spin it down to get the plasma, and paint it on your own face. So the only way this could happen is if they have multiple people getting this done at once and mixed it up, or they are reusing needles. Is there really a spa with many people getting vampire facials all at the same time? My medspa charges $800 for this procedure.
