Vampire Facelift Questions Revealed

March 27, 2013

Kim Kardashian Vampire facial details revealed

Recently Kim Kardashian created a beauty buzz when she shared a picture of herself receiving a “Vampire Facelift Facial“. The reality stars’ face was literally covered in blood all in the name of beauty. Does something like a “Vampire Facelift” scare yet intrigue you at the same time? Well, Dr. Bruce Katz, Director of the Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Clinic at Mount Sinai Medical Center and Director of the Juva Skin & Laser Center in New York gives you the facts about this buzzed about skin care treatment:

1- Is the “Vampire Facelift” an actual treatment?

“First of all, there is no such thing as a “vampire facelift”. There is, however, a product that can be used which is mixed with your own blood as a platelet rich plasma to be injected into the skin to rejuvenate the skin and treat wrinkles.”

2- How Does It Work?

“We take the patient’s own blood which is then spun in a centrifuge. The safe and rapid preparation of natural autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is then re-injected into the soft tissue of the area needing restoration.”
“Stem Cells on the platelets produce growth factors that slow down the look of aging, stimulate the production of collagen and improve the volume and texture of the skin. You see an improvement of texture in a short time.”

3- Where is it effective?

“We recently conducted clinical trials using this technique to treat hollow, sunken eyes and dark circles in tear troughs – calling it the Twilight Plasma Renewal treatment. We have also seen impressive results in rejuvenating facial and neck wrinkles as well as improving the overall texture of the skin.

Behind the Scenes: Lucky FABB Conference

September 8, 2011

To kick off Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and Social Media Week, Lucky Magazine hosted their FABB Conference, otherwise known as the Lucky Fashion and Beauty Blogger Conference. As a beauty blogger I’m most appreciative of this event. I see conferences for mommy bloggers, wine bloggers, tech bloggers…but I’ve never seen a conference for beauty bloggers. So kudos to Lucky Magazine for not forgetting about us and even more-so for no lumping up together with fashion bloggers and appreciating our unique voices about everything beauty.

The conference started off with designer Diane von Furstenberg as keynote speaker. Diane is so down to earth and I know that is such as cliched phrase but it’s so true. She came from humble beginnings in Belgium, she had a clear vision of the woman that she wanted to be and she manifested an empire. She was the perfect speaker to start the day off with, she gave candid advice sprinkled with a little humor. Diane also shared her three rules for women:

1. The most important relationship you will ever have is the one you make with yourself.

2. All women should have children.

3. It is very important for women to have an identity outside of their career.

Amen Diane.

Panel like Brands & Bloggers working Together and Setting the Trends are always blogging conference favorites. Most of the advice given was to “be authentic” and to “find your own voice”. Now if they only have a panel on that advice…

We heard from industry professionals like Katia Beauchamp who is the Cofounder of Birchbox and Essie Weingarten, Founder, Essie Cosmetics. It was nice to see that beauty brands were represented, and I loved hearing from brands that i write about. I think that every beauty blogger has swatched an Essie nail polish a time or two!

And of course the panel would not be complete with some well know bloggers like Phil Oh, Founder, Street Peeper.

And just when you thought that you’d seen the Kardashian sisters everywhere, well they were at Lucky FABB too. The ladies were polite, funny and answered a few questions while being filmed for their reality series. I’ll admit that I’m a Kardashian fan so I was incredibly excited to see that they were speaking at FABB.

The full day conference ended with closing remarks from Brandon Holley followed by a fun cocktail party. Lucky also honored bloggers with an awards ceremony presented by Zappos.com.

This is my second time at Lucky FABB and I’ll be there again in February. Aside from enjoying a carefully curated panel, Lucky provided bloggers with an opportunity to connect with one another in real life. I met a few people that I follow on Twitter and it’s refreshing to put a face to a name and blog.

Should you go to Lucky Fabb? If you’re a beauty or fashion blogger, abolutely.
