Meet the women and the story behind BelleCore

Nancy Donahue, who rose to the top of the modeling world in the 70’s and 80’s, gracing the covers of every important American and International fashion journal, including Harper’s Bazaar and American, Italian, French and British Vogue, was intrigued when a friend told her that her massage therapist had used a device to help soften her tissues after undergoing liposuction. Donahue, a Fitness Director and Triathlete who often suffered from sore muscles, used the device and discovered it not only soothed her muscles, it had an important side effect: it helped diminish the appearance of cellulite.

Donahue and her friend Susan Pasanen saw the device’s potential for the athletic, spa and wellness markets as well as the burgeoning beauty tool industry, and consulted with their friend, a top plastic surgeon, about how the device could be improved and redesigned for home use. After three years of development by M.I.T and Harvard trained engineers and input from four top Boston Doctors, the HoneyBelle® bodybuffer launched in January 2010. HoneyBelle® captured the attention of the beauty, wellness and athletic markets, as there was nothing else like it available. It soon became clear that a ‘travel version’ was needed with a universal motor, built in transformer/convertor, small enough to take to the gym, Pilates, yoga classes or on vacation, and so in 2011 babyBelle® was born.

Like its big sister HoneyBelle®, babyBelle® is a breakthrough beauty/wellness device designed to provide on-the-go maintenance for controlling the appearance of cellulite and providing instant deep soft tissue massage for sore aching muscles, and although smaller than HoneyBelle®, it’s as powerful and strong enough to do the job! It’s smaller size, lighter weight and manageability made babyBelle an instant hit, and replaced the larger HoneyBelle for self-care and professional use..

“It’s an easy regime to maintain, as simple as brushing your teeth. There is nothing else like it available in the market. Use it 3-5 minutes twice a day as a cellulite treatment, or before and after exercise to first warm up, and then relax sore muscles” says Donahue. “You will notice a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your skin and the feel of your muscles after a short period of time.”

70% of women clinically tested found a significant improvement in the appearance of their cellulite after using HoneyBelle ® bodybuffer for just 30 days when used as directed. babyBelle® helps control the appearance of cellulite while away from home, as well as massaging sore muscles after work outs or exercise.

How Random Orbital Oscillation Vibration Massage Works to Relieve Muscle Soreness.
The bodybuffers are effective, powerful muscle massagers for athletes such as runners, dancers, cyclists, Pilates and yoga enthusiasts, whose demands of daily routines and training invariably lead to intra-muscular build up of metabolic waste such as lactic acid, resulting in prolonged muscle soreness. When this waste is removed, recovery is accelerated and performance goes up.

The bodybuffers strong vibrations can penetrate the deep soft tissues, small and large muscle groups, enhance blood and lymphatic flow and thereby help dissipate metabolic waste products. For best results, use the bodybuffer before and after workout routines on a relaxed muscle: Different positions will allow you to relax the individual muscle groups targeted, such as the buttocks-gluteal muscles, thighs-quadriceps and hamstrings, calf-gastrocnemius and soleus and arm-triceps and biceps.

How Random Orbital Oscillation Vibration Works on Cellulite.
By applying a standardized, controlled oscillation massage to the affected areas, circulation of blood and lymph are greatly enhanced, fat cells can be broken down, and thickened, tight septa stretched or disrupted preventing them from forming the dimples so characteristic of cellulite.

First, place the bodybuffer on bare skin and switch ON. Keep the bodybuffer in motion at all times. Switch OFF
before removing from skin.

Can I use the bodybuffer in the shower?
No. The bodybuffer is an electrical device which must be used and kept in dry conditions away from water and
moisture.

How quickly can I expect to see results from bodybuffing?
Immediately. You’ll relieve sore muscles, increase circulation and exfoliate skin to a smoother texture with just
one buffing session.

When I bodybuff my skin turns red and feels itchy. Is this normal?
Yes, bodybuffing increases blood flow to the treated area. This often causes the skin to temporarily redden
and can provide a mild itching sensation. These effects are not harmful and will subside after your bodybuffing
and applying the hydrating cream.

to be used dry.

Never use the device on the head, face, front or back of neck/top of cervical spine, inner upper arm or breasts.
Keep clear of long loose hair and loose clothing.

Can I bodybuff if I am pregnant?
Consult your physician before using the bodybuffer. It may be acceptable to bodybuff your lower legs, feet and
arms, but never the trunk/torso nor anywhere near the belly.

Can I bodybuff if taking blood-thinning drugs?
No. If you take drugs like Coumadin or Lovenox you should not use the bodybuffer. If you take aspirin

with caution.

Can I bodybuff when I have a tan?

cream after treating. We designed our Hydrating Cream to complement and enhance the beneficial effects of
your bodybuffer.

How can I clean the bonnet on my bodybuffer?
Natural skin oils and cells that shed during exfoliation will eventually soil the bonnet. Simply remove the
bonnet, hand-wash it using a gentle detergent and allow to dry before slipping it back on the bodybuffer pad.
Worn-out bonnets should be replaced.
