This October, Chenot Palace Weggis will once again open its doors to one of Hollywood’s best-kept beauty secrets: Ivan Pol, award-winning facialist and founder of the cult treatment The Beauty Sandwich®. For one week only, from 7–14 October 2025, guests can experience his coveted non-invasive technique — the same one responsible for the luminous glow of Emma Stone, Penélope Cruz, and Kim Kardashian.
Think of it as a glow recipe engineered by science: layers of radio frequency and infrared light woven together to lift and sculpt the skin while simultaneously brightening and plumping. Think a sharper jawline, a lifted brow, and those enviably sculpted cheekbones — all without a trace of downtime. Pol personally delivers each treatment, which can be booked as an add-on to a Chenot wellness programme, or as a full retreat combining three facial sessions with the Chenot Detox Programme, set against the serene, lakefront backdrop of Weggis.
Long before “longevity” became a wellness buzzword, Henri Chenot was pioneering its science. In the 1970s, the Catalonian-born visionary developed what would become the Chenot Method®, a preventative approach designed to keep the body functioning at its peak — with the possibility, he believed, of extending human vitality well beyond a century. Today, Chenot’s flagship retreat in Weggis translates that philosophy into three core programmes: Advanced Detox, Anti-Ageing, and Recover & Energise..
Here’s how it feels: your week starts and ends with in-depth consultations, and in between you’re passed seamlessly from doctor to therapist to nutritionist. One moment you’re gliding into a hydrotherapy pool, the next you’re analysing your cellular energy in a sleek diagnostics lab. The atmosphere is part clinic, part sanctuary: you’ll spend most of the week in comfy bathrobes, dining in chic athleisure, with the kind of mountain-and-lake views that silence even the busiest minds. During Ivan Pol’s residency, guests will also have access to an exclusive masterclass in skin longevity, where he reveals the professional rituals and insider secrets behind keeping skin luminous for the long run.
Ivan’s return marks a rare moment where Hollywood beauty culture and Swiss medical science intertwine, offering guests a chance to experience The Beauty Sandwich® inside one of Europe’s most advanced wellness destinations. Chenot Palace Weggis itself is a world-class playground of health and luxury: a 5,000-square-metre spa, private lakefront, cutting-edge diagnostics, and a team of specialists delivering highly personalised treatments.
Prices for the seven-night programmes start from CHF 5,500 (approx. £5,000), including diagnostic tests, consultations, treatments, and the signature Chenot Diet®. The Beauty Sandwich® can be booked as part of a full retreat or à la carte at CHF 1,500 per treatment (approx. £1,365). Accommodation begins at CHF 410 per night (approx. £355 / $450), ensuring the experience balances science-driven health with five-star hospitality.
For European wellness seekers, this October residency is not just another spa escape — it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to discover why the world’s most photographed faces entrust their glow to Ivan Pol, this time framed by the purity and tranquillity of Lake Lucerne.
