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!

STEM CELL AND PEPTIDE ANTI-WRINKLE CREAM
$65
WHAT: Ageless Derma Stem Cell and Peptide Anti-Wrinkle Cream is a scientifically formulated blend of substantiated ingredients that revitalize your body’s natural abilities to heal itself. The aging process leaves our skin with diminished capacities to regenerate and repair but Ageless Derma supplies skin with the nutrients and vital plant stem cells that it requires to initiate rejuvenation.
WHY: Stem cell extract has been proven in laboratory studies to stimulate growth in cultures of aged human epidermal stem cells. Comprehensive studies have demonstrated that plant stem cells delay the aging process. These positive effects were further confirmed in a study of women from ages 37 to 64 who used a stem cell extract enhanced cream. After only a month of twice daily application, 100% of the participants demonstrated measurably reduced wrinkle depth.
WHERE: Mibelle Laboratories of Switzerland developed a Swiss apple stem cell extract called PhytoCellTec Malus Domestica for use in topical applications. This exciting scientific advancement has made stem cells available for use in skincare products for the first time.
Ageless Derma. Ageless Skin Through Science.
