The Japanese Facial Massage, Kobido, is performed on the face, skull, and neck. It is a technique based on rapid percussion and kneading movements, requiring great finger dexterity, combined with gentle and deep manipulations. These actions stimulate the facial nerves, work on the subcutaneous muscles, and increase blood circulation. This, in turn, improves the transport of blood and lymph to skin cells, aiding in the elimination of toxins and impurities, oxygenating tissues, enhancing the distribution of nutrients, and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for good skin quality.
Our own blood is the best collagen for our skin. Collagen protein represents more than 80 percent of human skin and provides the elastin in our skin. In Kobido treatments, no creams or oils are needed to nourish the skin.
This massage works on the 16 superficial facial muscles and specifically targets neural points.
