Kim K bathed in her own blood as she has a 'VAMPIRE FACIAL'

Not for the faint of heart: Kim Kardashian treats herself to a blood facial on the latest episode of her show Kourtney and Kim Take Miami

The star was seen trying out the latest beauty technique.

'I love trying anything that makes you look and feel youthful,' she said.
A large needle drew blood from her arm before the sample was spun in a machine to remove the platelets.

The blood was then splattered into Kim's face using nine tiny little acupuncture-style needles.
But first she had to slap on some numbing cream in a bid to ease the pain.

The treatment is so-called because it uses the patient's own blood to make improvements to the skin. The plasma from the blood is then extracted and used in the non-invasive procedure, with the aim of rejuvenating the skin.
The technique is an updated version of the traditional 'vampire facelift', which involves a series of painful injections into the face.
