This intriguing copy of “Vampire Facelift” offers a unique glimpse into the controversial world of blood-based cosmetic treatments. Published in 2013, it captures the early days of the “Vampire Facelift” trend, which involved injecting a patient’s own blood into their face to promote collagen production and a youthful appearance. While the procedure’s efficacy was hotly debated, the book’s subject matter tapped into the enduring human desire for youth and beauty.

Dr. Charles Runels, the book’s author, was a pioneering figure in this unconventional field, and his work sparked both fascination and skepticism within the medical community. This particular edition, with its well-worn cover and creased spine, suggests it was thoroughly studied by someone deeply intrigued by the potential of blood-based rejuvenation techniques.
