The claimWhat Kim actually said
In a 2022 New York Times interview Kardashian said she would try anything to look younger, even joking she would eat poop daily if it worked. We score the testable version of that ethos, the vampire facial she publicized, rather than the hyperbole.
Why it mattersWhy this matters for longevity
The vampire facial went from celebrity curiosity to a widely sold clinic treatment, so whether it actually works is worth checking.
It is also a clean example of a procedure that feels effective to the patient but does not hold up under blinded, objective review.
The evidenceWhat the science says
In a split-face randomized trial, people rated the side treated with platelet-rich plasma as improved, but masked dermatologists found no significant difference versus the saline-injected side.
Most other studies are small and low-quality, so durable rejuvenation from the procedure remains unproven.
There is also a real safety footnote: unsafe PRP practices at one spa caused documented infections, so provider hygiene matters.
TakeawayThe honest takeaway
The practical lesson
If you love the ritual and can afford it, the risk in trained hands is mostly to your wallet. Just know the rigorous evidence points to placebo-grade results, not proven rejuvenation.
