MANILA BULLETIN USA APRIL 19-25, 2007 Page 8 DOWNTOWN SAN JOSE'S FIRST AND ONLY MEDICAL SPA Pinay sisters open Blu Cocoon Medspa BLU COCOON MEDSPA staff (L to R) Dr. Al Shen MD, medical director, Miros Venegas, medical aesthetician, and founders Cecilia Cayabyab Cristina and Ignacio. SAN JOSE, CA - Blu Cocoon MedSpa, downtown San Jose's first and only medical spa, located at the San Jose Market Center opened its doors to the public last January. Offering technologically-advanced antiaging treatments in a relaxed spa setting, Blu Cocoon's physician-supervised staff of licensed medical professionals perform FDA-approved medical beauty procedures, Among these procedures are foto facials, laser facials, Botox and Restylane injections, medical peels, laser hair reduction and laser vein therapy. The medspa only uses products of a high medical grade and strength. Other medspa services performed by Blu Cocoon's licensed estheticians include the classic facial, vibradermabrasion (skin resurfacing), corrective acne treatment and live stem cell skin therapy. Blu Cocoon was founded by two Filipino sisters and registered nurses - Cristina Ignacio and Cecilia Cayabyab. Cristina, Blu Cocoon's spa director and formerly a registered nurse at the coronary care unit of Stanford Hospital, has worked for a local med spa performing laser and light therapy treatments. Cecilia balances her job as nurse manager for the oncology center at O'Connor Hospital with her duties at Blu Cocoon. Both sisters have certification in several laser and light therapy applications, skin rejuvenation treatments, and Botox and Restylane injections. Blu Cocoon's medical director Dr. Al Shen has experience in internal medicine and dermatology. Dr. Shen is certified in several aesthetic laser and light therapies, as well as Botox and other injectables. Dr. Shen is also a part of Solana Medical Group, a leader in Aesthetic Medicine headed by renowned Plastic Surgeon Dr. Terry Perkins. As Blu Cocoon's medical director, he brings years of medical experience and practical knowledge of running a medical practice. Cristina shares that the idea of opening Blu Cocoon stemmed from her and business Cecilia's desire to be entrepreneurs. "My sister and I wanted to open our own business but did not want to let go of our nursing background," Cristina explains. "Unlike many medspas that are owned by business people who concentrate on revenue generation, Blu Cocoon's priority will be on medical services." Cristina further stressed that the Blu Cocoon is supported by a medical doctor, "who is very involved and our nurses and staff are well trained and will receive on-going training and regular competency checks." "We believe that if we treat our customers right, by providing them with the service and quality they are seeking, success will come," Cristina added. The Blu Cocoon Medspa is located at the San Jose Market Center at 519 Coleman Ave. Ste. 50 in San Jose, California, with telephone number (408) 295-2580. The medspa has a website - www.blucocoonmedspa.com. CO-FOUNDER Cristina Ignacio RN administers a foto facial.
