I cringed when I read the article Christienne Miller wrote earlier in the week about the Weight Loss Tongue Patch. As if that is not bad enough, a friend of mine just called to tell me about this new technique where a cosmetic surgeon will suck your blood…get this so they can inject it into your face. Sounds crazy? Would you do it if it made you look younger?
“Dracula Therapy,” aka Stimulated Self Serum or S3 Therapy, is the anti-aging beauty treatment du jour. As part of the therapy, the patient has blood drawn, then the blood’s red blood cells, platelets and clear serum are separated, and vitamins and amino acids are added before the serum is injected into the face.
Pass the smelling salts!
Are we taking “Twilight” fashion and beauty trend a little to far?

Hi, all
I’m a doctor and have been performing platelet rich plasma injections (the scientific name for stimulated serum) for orthopedic/musculoskeletal conditions for almost 5 years with excellent results. The way it works: At the time of injury platelets congregate at the site of the injury to create a blood clot (everyone knows this) but platelets also release proteins that are directly responsible for tissue healing and regeneration - so basically injecting platelets into an injury that never fully healed such as a tear, chronic tendonitis, (even arthritis), tricks your body into thinking that it has undergone a new injury (but it has not) and this launches your body’s natural healing mechanisms to grow new, healthy, collagen.
About a year ago I learned of the cosmetic applications so I tried it on my girlfriend (of course) - to date I’ve performed this on about 18 women and 2 men and they have all been THRILLED. The 2 main applications are for filling folds and for rejuvenating aging skin (can be done anywhere on body such as face including eyelids or hands).
Additionally, even though I’ve only been doing this for a year (which practially makes me senior because the treatment is so new), so far the results are lasting and in fact you continue to notice improvement many months out
Anyway, hope this helps
