In one of Netflix's earliest gems, the campy comedy "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," Jacqueline Voorhees (played by Jane Krakowski) takes her ever-bewildered assistant Kimmy (Ellie Kemper) to her plastic surgeon's waiting room, eager to flaunt the magic of her doctor's touch.

"Look at that woman," she whispers, pointing at a fresh-faced beauty casually flipping through a magazine. Just as Kimmy begins to nod in admiration, the woman lifts her hand to her face and suddenly shows the horror of aged, wrinkled skin!

The exaggerated contrast is hilarious, yes, but also painfully real. Our hands and feet are often the ultimate giveaways when it comes to aging.

A hilarious but painfully true moment from the classic Netflix comedy 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.' In Season 1, Episode 4, Jacqueline Voorhees (Jane Krakowski) insists to wide-eyed Kimmy (Ellie Kemper) her plastic surgeon is that good, and he really is… but the ‘young’ woman’s hand totally gives her age away. A reminder that hands and feet shouldn’t be forgotten in everyone’s anti-aging efforts. SCREENGRAB FROM NETFLIX

Its young yet experienced founder, Chris Pino, acknowledges that most people tend to focus on facial treatments while neglecting their hands and feet, even though these areas often reveal signs of aging first.
She further explains, "Actually, even for internal problems like kidney disease, liver disease, you see signs on the hands and feet. That's why I became so interested in body care and ensuring we offer treatments that specifically target these areas."
Ensorcell's signature foot and hand spa treatments incorporate top-tier products from Highs Canada, a globally recognized personal care brand.
Chris shares that securing the exclusive distributorship for Highs Canada in the Philippines was a turning point in pushing her to open the new clinic, inspiring her to elevate the local self-care industry.
"Their products are used in five-star hotels like St. Regis and Ritz Carlton, and I wanted that same indulgence to be accessible here," she explains.
Highs Canada developed specialized coffee spa treatments that deeply hydrate and gently exfoliate the hands and feet, enhancing rejuvenation. For optimal results, these treatments are paired with advanced technologies at Ensorcell, specifically LED light therapy, which Chris highlights as very effective in reducing dark spots and preventing signs of aging.A key element of the Ensorcell hand and foot rejuvenation experience is the seamless blend of comfort with the targeted treatment. Custom-designed spa chairs provide ultra-comfortable seating with heated foot and hand basins not only to amplify the benefits of the treatments but to truly create a sense of tranquility and indulgence. "Clients should feel completely relaxed," Chris explains. "That's why I had them customized with a thicker backrest and even charging ports — so you can unwind without worrying about a dying phone battery."
Beyond sheer luxury, Ensorcell's approach is refreshingly results-driven. While its standout treatments focus on hand and foot rejuvenation, the clinic also offers a variety of advanced skin and body treatments. For one, massage is at the heart of everything they do, seamlessly integrated into facials and machine treatments to enhance lymphatic drainage, relaxation, and detoxification.
Ensorcell also offers a range of cutting-edge treatments, including the Geneo X Facial, which Chris describes as "a glow-to facial that speeds up oxygenation, stimulates collagen production, and tightens skin." Meanwhile, their Mediostar treatment tackles age spots, acne, and skin rejuvenation using different wavelengths tailored to specific concerns.
But what truly makes Ensorcell stand out in the crowded aesthetic scene is Chris's commitment to transparency. "We don't oversell treatments," she insists. "I've been on the other side — shelling out thousands for things I didn't really need. So I train my staff to recommend only what will actually benefit the client."
Building on this foundation of expertise and authenticity, Ensorcell's refreshing take on wellness stands out in an industry oversaturated with clinics promising instant perfection. Its commitment to holistic beauty might just be the magic touch we all need.
