Celebrity Alternative to Botox
Exclusive interview with William Foley the celebrated skin specialist
William Foley, Advanced Aesthetician
- Please tell us a little about your clinic and your area of expertise?
At William Foley Skin, we specialise in advanced facial treatments that merge science, spirituality, and holistic well-being. As a celebrity facialist, my approach is rooted in skin health and energetic alignment, offering non-invasive treatments that deliver visible results while supporting the body’s natural intelligence. Our studio is a sanctuary where high-performance technology meets ancient healing wisdom. - What first attracted you to working with GELIDA and its range of professional devices?
I was drawn to GELIDA because of its commitment to innovation, precision, and integrity. The devices align beautifully with my clinic’s philosophy—intelligent, non-invasive technology that supports skin rejuvenation without compromising its natural rhythm. It’s rare to find equipment that feels both clinical and intuitive, and GELIDA achieves that balance. - Which GELIDA device is your favourite to work with, and why?
The Waves 21 is a favourite—it delivers consistent results using cryolipolosis & metamere stimulation while remaining incredibly gentle on the skin. It enhances circulation, reduces inflammation, and promotes an overall glow that clients notice instantly. For me this was my first option of device because of its overall health benefits to the body. - What GELIDA treatment do your clients ask for most often – and what do they love about it?
The most requested treatment is our signature GELIDA & the William Foley signature facial which combines lymphatic stimulation, sculpting, and cryotherapy. Clients love the immediate lift and radiance they see, but also how calm and refreshed they feel afterward—it’s a true reset for both skin and nervous system. - Do you have a personal favourite GELIDA treatment to perform, and what makes it stand out to you?
Yes, I love performing the fullbody cryo & metamere sessions. The cooling technique allows me to work with precision, lifting and contouring while calming the skin. It feels more like a ritual than a treatment, which resonates deeply with my approach. - What advice would you give to other clinics considering introducing GELIDA technology into their practice?
Choose equipment that reflects your values. GELIDA is a smart investment not just in your menu—but in your brand ethos. It elevates the client experience and builds long-term trust through visible, consistent results. - Are there any standout client success stories you’ve seen with GELIDA treatments that you’re proud of?
Absolutely. One client, preparing for a major red-carpet event, saw dramatic improvements in skin tone, puffiness, and texture within just a few sessions. She walked into her event glowing and confident, crediting the treatment as a game-changer in her routine. - How important is innovation and device quality in your clinic, and how does GELIDA align with that?
Innovation is non-negotiable in my clinic. My clients expect cutting-edge care delivered with precision and safety. GELIDA’s devices meet those expectations with ease—they’re beautifully engineered and deliver consistent, high-performance results. - Finally, what’s one skincare or treatment tip you always share with your clients?
Consistency is everything. Even the most advanced treatment works best when paired with daily rituals that honour the skin—hydration, rest, and breathwork are just as powerful as any machine.
