Description
Kobido massage, also known as “lifting facial massage”, is a traditional Japanese massage technique that combines a variety of methods and movements to deeply relax, regenerate and rejuvenate facial skin. Kobido literally means “ancient path to beauty”, which perfectly reflects the essence of this massage. This is one of the most advanced and comprehensive facial massages, which, thanks to its unique techniques, helps achieve a natural lifting effect without the use of invasive methods.
Techniques Used in Kobido Massage
1. Stroking: Gentle, smooth movements that help relax muscles and improve blood circulation.
2. Kneading: More intense movements that work deep into the muscles to help relax and detoxify them.
3. Percussive (Tapotement): Fast, rhythmic movements that stimulate muscles and skin, improving flexibility and tone.
4. Lifting and Modeling Movements: Special techniques aimed at lifting the face contour and smoothing wrinkles.
5. Acupressure: Pressure on specific energy points of the face, which helps release tension and improve energy flow.
