Kobido massage is a traditional Japanese facial massage technique that combines deep tissue and acupressure methods with gentle, rhythmic strokes. Kobido involves a combination of fast, gentle tapping, kneading, and sweeping motions along with deep tissue techniques to stimulate both surface and deeper layers of the skin.

Additionally, Kobido massage helps to eliminate dead skin cells, which boosts collagen and elastin production, leading to more luminous and healthier skin.

This holistic approach makes Kobido not just a cosmetic treatment but also a therapeutic practice aimed at overall wellness.

Understanding Kobido Massage

Kobido massage is a traditional Japanese facial massage technique that combines deep tissue and acupressure methods with gentle, rhythmic strokes. This holistic approach aims to promote relaxation, release tension, and rejuvenate the skin, making it not just a cosmetic treatment but also a therapeutic practice aimed at overall well-being. By targeting the facial muscles, Kobido massage helps to tone and firm the skin, reducing the appearance of expression lines and wrinkles. This ancient Japanese facial massage technique is designed to enhance both the physical and emotional state, providing a comprehensive sense of well-being.

Benefits and Effects

The benefits of Kobido massage are numerous. By enhancing blood flow, it delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the skin, promoting a radiant complexion. Regular massage helps to tone the facial muscles, contributing to a firmer appearance and possibly reducing skin sagging. Additionally, Kobido massage reduces tension in the facial muscles, preventing the formation of expression lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle contractions. It also helps with lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and promoting a clearer complexion. This combination of benefits makes Kobido massage a powerful tool for maintaining healthy, youthful skin.

Techniques and Methods

Kobido massage involves a combination of fast, gentle tapping, kneading, and sweeping motions. It also includes deep tissue techniques to stimulate both surface and deeper layers of the skin. The massage targets specific pressure points on the face to release tension and promote healing. Natural oils or creams may be used to facilitate movement and provide hydration, and face taping may be done if required. The techniques used in Kobido massage include kneading, rolling, and percussive hand movements, which stimulate and strengthen facial muscles and exert pressure on connective tissue to increase collagen levels. This intricate blend of techniques ensures a comprehensive treatment that benefits both the skin and underlying facial muscles.

Always a great service in this exceptionally clean salon. Love my very natural looking eyelash extensions done by Evelina, also usually get eyebrows with Liliana and nails by Yolanda, all three I would highly rate for service, experience and care. I’ve been coming to this salon when it was just Evelina in the Beacon. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.
