Luxury skincare from STEMULATION

Stemulationboostcreme_44

Stemulation is based on the science that stem cells can be effectively used for skin rejuvenation, tissue repair and wound healing. A research team of specialists spent two years capturing growth factors from adult human skin cells, which they turned into an active ingredient and the basis for Stemulation products. These growth factors stimulate collagen and the reproduction of new skin cells to reduce wrinkles, eliminate sun spots and smooth scars and fine lines. It truly is a groundbreaking (and technology-backed) new way to achieve younger-looking skin!

The Stemulation line includes a serum, cleanser, exfoliant and face and body creams.

A Breakthrough in Anti-aging.

Through 30 years of scientific and clinical development, our unparalleled medical advisory board has created a unique derivative of stem cells that can be absorbed directly into the skin. Now, called Stemulation, it has become the most powerful regenerative mechanism for anti-aging on the market.

The Science Behind It.

Our revolutionary technology is based on advanced stem cell research and the effects of topical application of cell derivatives combined a clinically proven highly concentrated antioxidant.

This antioxidant is a highly effective natural and organic ingredient that has been proven through clinical trials to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by 46% and improve the tightening and firmness of skin tissue by 65%.

Stem Cells and Aging.

Stem cells in general have a legendary power for rejuvenation by triggering the production of new healthy cells in the human body. Stem cells are our "natural" defense against deterioration of the body. When we reach the age of 50 we have roughly 2% of the stem cells our bodies were born with. Since stem cells repair all forms of deterioration, the lack of available stem cells contributes to the aging of our skin.

Is the Technology Safe?

Yes. The 100% natural and organic stem cell extract (Stemulation™) is pure and safe. The active stem cell ingredients in Stemulation are non-pathogenic, ecologically friendly and free of all chemical additives. There is no injection and there are no known side effects.

M101_Facial Mask

Popular for years in European wellness clinics and spas and sold in 16 countries,  these 100% naturally sourced products are now launching in the US!   Moor Spa is ranked #1 Safest Spa Line by the EWG at www.moorspa.com.

The line is completely free of synthetics and each product comes with its own certificate listing all ingredients and the actual source of each, so you don't have to be a chemist to understand what's in the formula.
I'm mad about their masks, but want to get my hands on their dry skin brushes and aroma balancing blends and bath products.
 
Facial Mask is a 100% organic mask for all skin types, featuring the exclusive Austrian moor extract for deep cleansing, exfoliation and  increased circulation. It's bio available, which means your skin can actually absorb the nutrients (minerals, antioxidant, humic acid, fulvic acid) from the mask.   It's great for all skin types, and my oily, sensitive skin is refined and glowing, with smaller, clear pores after one treatment.   It's very stimulating, so best to start with a 5 minute treatment.
 
Kelzyme Mask is Moor Spa's newest product.  This enzyme mask containing fossilized, calcified sea kelp from a pristine source in Nevada.  It's a creamy, luxurious treatment provides superior exfoliation, brightening & tightening. Those with rosacea or redness will notice a more even skin tone post treatment.
 
Both masks can also be used on the body.
Other products include additional masks, cleansers, serums, moisturizers and more. Poke around the entire line of over 60 face, body & wellness products,  all containing the unique Moor extract, which offers anti aging and anti inflammatory benefits.

Facial Bungalow’s Micro Current Face Treatments: Los Angeles Anti-Aging Secret

August 24, 2013

The only problem with discovering a gem of an aesthetician like Trina Renea is that now I’m feeling all uh yah ok so I don’t need to know about anyone else now she’s IT  kinda thing.  And then I start feeling bad for everyone else because from now on, I am only going to send everyone to Trina. Yeah, I’m complicated. 

Trina is more than an aesthetician, she is a teacher and trainer hired by top derms and med spas to guide their aestheticians and bring them up to speed in all things skin and face.  She’s highly educated and continues to learn everything there is to know about her work such as cosmetic compounding, the latest in cutting edge skin devices and anti-aging skin care. Trina cut her teeth for seven years working with power dermatologist Dr. Vicki Rapaport dealing with dermatological challenges like severe Acne and scarring ( a speciality!) 

I couldn’t wait to meet Trina and I was especially eager to check out her infamous micro-current face treatment, a device she calls the Skin Maestro.  I popped over to her adorable and extremely private Facial Bungalow in West Hollywood to see what the Skin Masetro herself was all about. 

Trina is the only one in town with this specific micro current device. What makes micro-current such an important part of your skin regime are the electrodes – they stimulate the production of amino acids and ATP (cellular energy) which makes collagen and elastin within the skin’s surface, revealing a new youthful appearance.  

Combining three technologies, the Facial Bungalow’s Skin maestro machine is a revolutionary instrument for rejuvenating the skin.  This machine removes the superficial layer and regenerates the deeper layer making the face youthful and luminous from the very first treatment.  This top of the range machine, the only one of its kind in Southern California provides these essential functions:

·      Peeling – The Skin maestro is guaranteed to peel away the top 50% corneous layer of your skin that holds most of the sebum and toxic substances.

<·      Hydration – The Skin maestro provides perfect hydration after the peeling treatment, driving serums and moisturizers deeper into the skin.

·      Regeneration – The Skin maestro’s circular and electrodes stimulate the skin’s metabolism and effectively rejuvenates the skin one wrinkle at a time.

·      Deep Wrinkles – The Skin maestro’s micro currents aid in collagen and elastin production bringing back elasticity that causes the signs of aging to disappear.

Now as you know I have tried every device out there, and for a facial treatment, this one left me looking ridiculously plumped and glowing, and my skin continued to look better by the day.  It’s so powerful that if you are prone to cold sores, check in with Trina and see if you should take a prophylactic Valtrex before hand as it wakes up the nerves on such a deep level, it will cause a break out. 

I left Trina’s texting all my facial Beauty Concierge clients with her info as I walked to my car. No joke.

You will love her cozy bungalow – it’s totally zenned out and private, homey and comfy. Her aestheticians go through months of grueling training before she puts them on the floor so no matter who you see you are in superb hands. 

Check out her various packages below and let me know when you fall in love like I did!
