This is the best summary I could come up with:
diagnosis in a patron who reported having no behavioral risk factors led to a public health investigation when the woman said she had received a cosmetic treatment involving needles, called a platelet-rich plasma microneedling facial.
An inspection of the spa found unlabeled tubes of blood lying on a kitchen counter, others stored along with food in a refrigerator, and unwrapped syringes in drawers and trash cans.
The facility also appeared to be reusing disposable equipment intended for single use only, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The report comes on the heels of an announcement by health officials earlier this month that they are investigating a string of illnesses tied to counterfeit or improperly injected Botox containing high amounts of the botulinum toxin, which is used in small doses to smooth wrinkles.
The so-called vampire facials involve drawing a patient’s own blood, putting it in a centrifuge to separate out platelet-rich plasma, and then using very fine, short needles to puncture the skin.
They identified 59 clients who were at risk for infection, including 20 who received “vampire facials” and 39 who got other services, like Botox, between the spring and fall of 2018.
