Give your face a lift and rejuvenate with this ancestral ritual, born in the Imperial Court of Japan in the 15th century. This exclusive massage technique, performed by dancing hands, restores firmness and radiance to your face. The pressure exerted on the acupuncture points activate the circulation of your vital energy, generating beneficial effects on the whole body. Your skin is feeling afterwards truly smooth and regains the beauty of a baby’s skin. I had the privilege to train with Florence Laval, one of only 50 facial therapists trained in Kobido® in Europe.
Technique:
Kobido ® is like a dancing of fingers, floating upon your face. The different movements performed with precision on every inch of your skin involve a complex blend of stroking, kneading, tapping, vibrations and pressures. The massage is smooth, subtle and deep – depending on the nature of the skin and on the area to be treated.
Benefits:
A gentle stroking motion establishes the first contact with the face and heats up the skin. The kneading of the skin releases the fascia and other connective tissues, while relaxing the muscles and smoothing out facial wrinkles. A series of fast, subtle tapping movements invigorates the muscles, activates the microcirculation, releases the toxins and impacts the production of collagen. As a result of vibrations, the lymph is drained and the toxins are expelled. This technique contributes significantly to the facelift-effect. The pressure on the skin stimulates the energy points related to the organs and the nervous system, thus improving the overall health status.
