About
Our Medspa

San Jose, California's leading medical spa for
advanced aesthetic treatments.

Serving the community since 2007.

Blu Cocoon

Blu Cocoon opened in 2007 because we wanted a different kind of aesthetic experience. Somewhere you could walk in, sit down, and actually be heard. Somewhere nobody was rushing you. Somewhere your goals actually mattered, because your goals are our goals. Think luxury wellness retreat. Relaxed but elevated. Run by the smart, experienced friend you’ve always wanted in your corner. Ask us anything. Tell us anything. No judgment.

Nearly two decades later, that’s still the whole idea. We take our time. We ask a lot of questions before we ever recommend a treatment. We tell the truth, even when the truth is that you don’t need what you came in for. Many of our patients have been with us since the first year we opened. 

Come in. We’ve got you.

Blu Cocoon Team

Dr. Yalda Sedghi,
MD

Supervising Physician

From an early age, Dr. Yalda Sedghi was drawn to both medicine and beauty. After becoming board-certified in Family Medicine and serving a diverse patient population across Southern California for nearly a decade, she chose to pursue her second passion, medical aesthetics.

Dr. Sedghi combines medical precision with an artistic eye, focusing on personalization and subtle refinement. Her philosophy centers on enhancing each patient’s natural features to achieve results that are youthful, balanced, and authentically radiant.

Outside of her practice, she enjoys spending time with her family and two young children, gathering with loved ones, exploring nature, and continually learning about longevity, wellness, and health optimization.
