Facialist Ivan Pol Shares His Tips for Radiant Skin and Pre-Red Carpet Treatments

For many Hollywood celebrities, Iván Pol’s treatment bed has become synonymous with skin rejuvenation and enhancement. Known for his innovative Beauty Sandwich facial, Pol promises a transformation that results in a defined jawline, a taut lower face, and plump cheeks. This high-demand procedure incorporates radiofrequency technology along with a calming ambiance that aims to heal both body and spirit. “People are carrying a bunch of other weight,” he explained in an interview with Us. “I sandwich these energies together to snatch not only your face, but your spirit. That’s what the celebrities become addicted to — the way they feel.”

Despite delivering impressive and immediate results, Pol’s method is meticulously orchestrated. He highlights that the treatment involves multiple layers, hence the “sandwich” concept. His experience as a makeup artist spanned more than a decade, during which time he was inspired by Jennifer Lopez’s flawless skin. When he inquired about her secret, she attributed it to facials, igniting Pol’s ambition to develop the ultimate pre-red-carpet facial.

This year, Pol debuted his new Lunchtime Lift during Oscars week. He elaborated, “The signature Beauty Sandwich was more modeled [after] getting Botox and fillers. Now I can completely diffuse the look of the jowl.” The procedure now includes the addition of Erchonia, a low-level laser therapy that combats inflammation and rejuvenates the skin. The multilayer technique integrates non-invasive radiofrequency tools like the Pellevé wand, resulting in a V-shaped, heartlike facial contour.

Pol’s expertise stems from his decade-long mentorship with Dr. Martin Zaiac at Greater Miami Skin and Laser Center. For the past five years, he has collaborated with Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Jason Diamond, whose natural facelifts he deeply respects. “I want to learn from people who have the most knowledge,” he stated, affirming his commitment to continued education in the field. Pol sees clients both at Dr. Diamond’s practice and in Miami.

Topical skincare is an essential component of Pol’s approach. He relies on products from Chanel’s scientifically advanced Sublimage line to target cellular aging and promote a radiant complexion. These products, including the Le Lift Sérum, are incorporated into pre-red-carpet treatments. To finalize the regimen, he spritzes his own Amuse Bouche from the Beauty Sandwich skincare line to enhance hydration and minimize the appearance of pores.

In a mere 45 minutes, Pol can dramatically alter a client’s appearance. “I reposition where [the weight] resides — it’s like a redesign,” he describes. While the effects are immediate, he notes that the full results emerge within a month, as collagen, elastin, and muscle synthesis take effect. Pol emphasizes that his offering is not merely an anti-aging session, but a unique skin-longevity treatment that enhances facial aesthetics.

Pol’s Tips for Radiant Skin

For a Temporary Lift

After moisturizing, he suggests using Chanel’s N°1 de Chanel Massage Accessory along the jawline, gliding upward in a gentle motion to enhance the face’s heart-shaped contours. This technique targets areas with more adhesions for improved sculpting.

Avoid Over-Exfoliating

Pol advises against the over-exfoliation that often accompanies aging. “As we age, our skin naturally sheds — why accelerate it? Focus on strengthening and boosting functionality instead,” he recommends. Chanel’s Sublimage L’Huile-En-Gel De Démaquillage, with its gel-to-oil formula, effectively cleanses without stripping the skin of its essential qualities.

The Beauty Sandwich

“My Beauty Sandwich SS02 Snatching Sauce does everything,” he remarked. This versatile product can be warmed between fingers and massaged into the skin or lips to rejuvenate facial contours for added volume. “Think of it as a fatty serum — richer than your usual cream and nourishing,” he added.

Pol also emphasizes the benefits of organic, whole-fat yogurt as a mild exfoliating cleanser as it contains lactic acid and beneficial fats. He encourages those interested in his work to view his recent collaborations with various celebrities, including Gracie Abrams, Penélope Cruz, and Teyana Taylor, on his social media platforms.
