What is kobido?

An age-old treatment, an institution in Japan

For hundreds of years, facial care has been an institution in Japan. Kobido works on the balance of ki, the vital energy that the face reflects.

It tones, firms and redefines the contours of the face. Thanks to its deeply relaxing effect, it is also an excellent remedy for tiredness.

As an occasional treatment

  • Regenerates the tissues
  • Brings radiance to the skin
  • Soothes the nervous system and erases the effects of stress

As a regular treatment

  • Redefines the contours of the face
  • Stimulates blood and lymph circulation
  • Relaxes the facial and neck muscles
  • Encourages collagen production
  • Softens the signs of ageing

The session

One hour of care, movement by movement

Preparation

Please come without make-up if possible; otherwise, make-up is removed on site. A silk cap is provided to keep oil out of your hair.

Your expectations

We discuss the areas you would particularly like to focus on.

The massage

From the jaw to the forehead, via the temples and the contours of the lips and eyes: smoothing, kneading, percussion, vibration and drainage.

Acupressure

Pressure on precise points of the face linked to the meridians, to purify and brighten the complexion, and to improve sleep and digestion.

The massage is given fully clothed, with a light, natural plant oil. It suits all skin types, for women and men alike.
