Kobido massage

Kobido massage is one of the most complex facial massage techniques in the world.It comes from Japan, where it was created in the 15th century, and its name in Japanese means "ancient way to beauty".Thus, for over 500 years, the tradition of kobido massage has been continued and is becoming more and more popular all over the world.

Kobido massage is a non-invasive, manual method that allows you to improve the face oval, firm the skin or smooth out wrinkles without the need for surgical lifting, lifting threads or other cosmetic treatments .

This massage, thanks to the combination of slow, relaxing movements with advanced techniques consisting of fast and intense movements, affecting the deep structures of the skin and facial muscles, not only relaxes, but also stimulates tissues and reduces their tension, giving a lifting effect.

How is kobido massage performed?

Kobido massage consists of several stages, occurring in a specific sequence, and the treatment time usually lasts up to 90 minutes.

The massage begins with thorough cleansing of the skin.Then, on cleansed skin, without the use of any preparations, deep tissue massage is performed.This is to eliminate major muscle tension, which makes it easier to smooth out fine mimic wrinkles.

The next stage of the massage is more gentle.Relaxes, removes muscle tension caused by emotions and stimulates circulation, thanks to which the skin regains its healthy color.

Then, by making faster hand movements, blood and lymph flow is improved.This has a positive effect on skin nourishment and the reduction of dark circles and bags under the eyes.This stage of kobido massage is called lymphatic drainage.

In the most intense part of the Kobido massage, i.e. the lifting stage, the movements are strong and fast, and the skin is pinched, pulled up and kneaded.At that time, the skin may also feel a slight discomfort and warming.

The last stage, i.e. acupressure, consists in pressing individual muscle points, the so-calledenergy points.
