Sometimes, a single treatment is all it takes for the face to look visibly more rested and the skin to regain its natural vitality. This is the essence of Kobido—a subtle yet noticeable transformation. Originating in Japan in 1472, this remarkable facial massage technique was developed at the request of an Empress seeking the finest way to preserve the skin’s beauty and soften the visible signs of ageing. Its enduring popularity over more than five centuries is a testament to its exceptional reputation.
During the treatment, your therapist works across the face, neck and scalp, using precise fingertip techniques to stimulate carefully selected energy points. A harmonious combination of slow, soothing movements and faster, rhythmic techniques helps encourage healthy circulation, improve skin tone and release deeply held facial tension, leaving your complexion looking refreshed, radiant and beautifully revitalised.
