Many people wrongly assume that Botox is the only way to get rid of wrinkles, but the truth is that there are many effective treatments that target signs of aging. However, in that long list, one stands out as particularly efficient. The Beauty Sandwich, a favorite among celebs and skincare gurus alike, is an excellent option for anyone who wants to look a few years younger but isn’t ready to try any more invasive procedures.
The Beauty Sandwich
If you're searching for a non-invasive and non-toxic way to achieve a more youthful appearance, look no further. Created by celebrity facialist Iván Pol, The Beauty Sandwich treatment uses radio frequencies to promote younger looking skin.
He explained his inspiration to Coveteur, "I wanted a natural alternative to Botox and fillers that would also give a long-term effect. I saw women that were 28-35, and they would say, 'I’m seeing the first signs of aging, but I don’t want all these [other options].'"
Here's how it works
To achieve age-defying results, Pol uses two tools, the Pellevé and the eMatrix.
Pol told Shape exactly how they work together to deliver maximum results. "Each pulse delivers energy via a grid of spots on the surface and just under the surface of the skin, penetrating until the tissue reaches a certain temperature, which is monitored by a skin thermometer," he explained. "This deep energy—which feels like heat to the client—tightens the skin while at the same time producing new collagen and elastic fibers in the skin."
This process gives you filler-like results that continue for long after you finish the treatment. He continued, "We are strengthening and toning the muscles and helping with collagen stimulation to plump and lift the skin, contour the face, and define the jawline."
Celebs can't get enough
With these incredible results, celebrities are lining up to try The Beauty Sandwich. A-listers like Lizzo, Martha Hunt, and Brie Larson have all been featured on Pol's Instagram page, and their picture-perfect skin is all the proof you need that this treatment works.
However, big results come at a steep price, and The Beauty Sandwich treatments cost between $850 to $1400. It's undoubtedly an investment, but one that just might be worth it--especially if you're looking for a Botox alternative.
