Kobido massage is often referred to as a non-surgical face lift. This massage is a manual, very intensive treatment that works on the deep structures of the skin. Thanks to it, the skin becomes stronger, and because we act deeper on it, we can also nourish it more intensively, thanks to the active ingredients contained in cosmetics used for massage.
Kobido is a special form of massage. It is a ritual that follows certain rules. It comes from the tradition of Chinese medicine. Like traditional massage, it is performed on the face. However, it is much deeper. How should it be done correctly?
What is Kobido massage?
Kobido massage is a deep massage performed on the skin surface. It is derived from traditional Chinese medical assumptions. The slow movements are designed to relax and unwind the massaged person, while the fast, decisive and deep movements are to stimulate the skin and produce the ingredients necessary to achieve the lifting effect. After the massage, we feel relaxed, we release toxins from the skin, stimulate the work of nerves, skin and muscles. The result is a natural facelift.
For a lifting effect, try the Bioherba rotating body and face massager available at an attractive price on Medonet Market. You can buy it separately or in the Bioherba face oval modeling kit with a booster.
The Chinese medicine on which Kobido is based is called “anma,” which means pressing and rubbing.
It is a natural alternative to aesthetic medicine and various interventional treatments such as hyaluronic acid injections or botox.
The massage is quite complex and intense. It is an advanced massage method that includes many complex manual techniques. Thanks to this, the massage reaches deep into the skin and affects the muscles. Massage is a combination of many traditional methods and techniques of hand movements, and their main feature is speed. It is worth mentioning, however, that Kobido massage should not cause pain, although rapid hand movements may cause sensations on the verge of pain. The purpose of Kobido massage is to determine the condition of the skin and work on acupressure points. This is to bring balance to the skin and muscles of the face.

What does a sample Kobido massage session look like?
Kobido massage consists of several stages. First, make-up removal is performed, then a deep relaxing massage, lymphatic drainage and a face lift. The massage ends with acupressure.

In addition, this way the tension that can interfere with the further stages of the massage disappears. At the right moment, determined by the masseur, he goes to the neck massage. In this way, blood circulation in the facial skin is improved, thanks to which the skin begins to regenerate.
Only now can you start the most typical Kobido massage techniques. They are much more intense and include: pinching, gentle strokes, deep skin smoothing, and kneading. Each of these techniques must be performed by the masseur with full commitment. In this way, any muscle tension that changes their function is eliminated.
Massage performed with the use of lifting techniques is performed mainly on the face, but they can also be used, for example, on the neck or décolleté.
