Facial lymphatic drainage: a boost for circulation
Lymphatic drainage is a gentle massage that stimulates the circulation of lymph. It helps decongest the tissues, reduce puffiness, restore radiance to the complexion and detoxify in depth. The result: a fresher, less tired-looking face and more open eyes.
However, this massage does not work in depth on muscle tone or facial structure.
Kobido: much more than a simple massage
Rooted in Japanese tradition, Kobido is an ancestral art of facial massage. It is a deep, complete and holistic treatment that works on several levels at once:
-
Circulatory: like drainage, it stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation to decongest.
-
Muscular: it tones and relaxes the facial muscles, smoothing tension and lifting naturally.
-
Energetic: it awakens vital energy (the "ki"), for a more vibrant, more expressive face.
-
Sensorial: through its precise, rhythmic movements, it provides a profound sense of wellbeing.
In a word: Kobido drains… but it also sculpts.
The Kobido treatment at Innerskin: where touch meets technology
At Innerskin, technology guides our expertise. But for this treatment, touch takes over. Inspired by traditional Kobido, our treatment combines the power of manual techniques with the intelligence of targeted massage tools.
This treatment works while you relax: it plumps, smooths and sculpts, delivering an immediate, visible result that is also lasting, session after session.
A deeply vital moment, a treatment that reconnects you with yourself, at the very heart of the Innerskin experience.
Initial course: 1 session/week for 4 to 6 weeks
Maintenance: 1 session every 3 to 4 weeks
So, Kobido or lymphatic drainage?
Drainage is ideal if you are looking for an occasional detox effect to lighten and brighten your face.
But if you are looking for a more comprehensive treatment that is at once draining, lifting and sensorial, Kobido is for you.
You do not have to choose between high-tech and high-touch. At Innerskin, you choose both.
