The Japanese Kobido


The Japanese Kobido (ancient road to beauty) facial massage originates from the era of the Japanese emperors, when it was a favourite therapy of the empresses who loved to show off their flawless, porcelain like skin.


This massage helps to rejuvenate and repair the facial tissues, reduces the speed of the aging process, and improves the nutrition of the skin cells by releasing energy and tension locked within the facial and neck muscles. Not only does this treatment reduce wrinkles and “smooth” out the skin, but it will find a balance allowing the organs in control of the wellbeing and hydration of the skin to work correctly.


The Kobido facial massage uses a fast, rhythmical touch, which stimulates the nervous and lymphatic system, improves blood circulation and helps to tone the muscles and balance the flow of energy in the face. These therapeutic techniques stimulate the facial nerves and skin cells, distributing nutrients and eliminating toxins, impurities and dead cells.


The treatment consists of 4 phases:


1. Cleansing and Drainage The face is cleaned to prepare for treatment and a lymphatic drainage is carried out to eliminate toxins. 2. Stretching and Illumination Firming aromatic oils are used to aid movement during the massage and also to help lift the skin and illuminate the face. This part is ideal to help improve wrinkles and bags around the eye area. 3. Japanese Lifting This is when the speed of the massage increases, and is carried out at a very fast pace but remaining gentle at all times. 4. Anti stress This final phase uses pressure points to combat stress. If the patient suffers from neck pain caused by accumulated tension, this can be relieved using the Kobido technique. The idea is to improve health and appearance in one unique treatment.


This massage is the most effective natural treatment to improve the skins condition and minimise the aging process. The result is a healthy, glowing, hydrated and fresh looking face and healthy body.


Regular Japanese facial sessions will: • Reduce loose skin and correct fine wrinkles • Eliminate toxins and impurities • Help achieve radiant skin • Regulate skin hydration • Liberate muscular tension
