Hit to sculpt the cheekbones of women like Adria Arjona, Laura Harrier and Brie Larson, acclaimed facialist Iván Pol’s multi-layered facial, “The Beauty Sandwich,” is so famous that the nickname is arguably better known than its own name. The hour-long buzzing session involves a series (or “sandwich”) of high-tech treatments: monopolar radio frequency to firm the skin; blue light to reduce acne and sun damage; and a combination of bipolar radio frequency and infrared light to enhance the appearance of the skin. It also uses its own tightening serum, which will launch this month. Now Pol has outdone himself with an exaggerated new offer: the four-day facial.
Lest you think you have to pencil in 96 hours to lay down on a facialist’s table (although in our touch-hungry reality it looks really appealing), Pol schedules 30-45 consecutive treatments. minutes over four days. Sticking to food metaphors, he calls the tiered treatment “The Wedding Cake”.
“When you treat the skin over four days instead of one, the heat rises and the instant results are much more dramatic,” says Pol, who divides his time between Los Angeles, New York and Miami.
“I set myself a four-day [facial] to prepare for the Giorgio Armani campaign,” says Arjona, the face of the brand’s My Way fragrance. The campaign, shot before the pandemic, was broadcast without any editing.
Maybe you dream of glowing skin for your wedding or raised eyebrows for a post-pandemic gala. If so, here’s what you can expect: on day one, Pol uses sublative radiofrequency, which causes micro-healing that reduces the appearance of pores; improves tone and texture; and resurfaces, plumps and refreshes the skin. The second day is a monopolar radio frequency. “Instead of getting 15 minutes of that layer when you make the sandwich, you get a whole 40 minutes,” Pol says, noting that it feels like a hot stone massage. Pol applies a combination of bipolar radio frequency and infrared light on the third day. The former stimulates the production of collagen, while the latter penetrates deep into the muscles to define and sculpt. It’s also very refreshing, says Pol. The fourth day ends with a combination of monopolar radio frequency, bipolar radio frequency and infrared light – his “tour de force”. Ultimately, the sculpture feels natural as nothing is overfilled or frozen. “[It] doesn’t restructure your face,” says Arjona.
