Kobido Facial Massage

Kobido means “ancient way of beauty” and it is an alternative or complement to the most modern facial rejuvenation treatments.

During the massage, the technique consists of making movements of varying intensity, in order to stimulate blood flow on the face, neck, shoulders and upper chest. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.

This massage is carried out manually. Rosehip oil and other cosmetics that favour cellular regeneration and reaffirmation are used.

The first to benefit from kobido massage were the samurai, to calm the mind and strengthen their inner spirits after battle. It was not long before Japanese empresses used the same technique, which they used to get porcelain skin. Today, the Kobido massage is an alternative available to anyone for the care and improvement of the face. In addition to the aesthetic benefits, the Kobido massage eliminates the accumulated stress in the muscles that affect the head and face, thus achieving the harmony of the whole organism, which is subsequently reflected in the skin and body.

This technique, by stimulating the nervous system, improves blood circulation and combats stress. It also reduces bruxism, prevents facial stiffness, relieves migraines and improves eyesight thanks to the stimulation of the areas near the eyes. Anyone can enjoy this treatment, from young people with acne problems, to adults with skin blemishes, psoriasis or suffering from skin ageing.

Kobido is a very effective technique for the treatment of bruxism. This problem can cause tooth wear, weakening of the gums, difficulty chewing, pain and ringing in the ears, mild or intense discomfort in the jaws, headache and even pain in the neck muscles. The premolars are usually the most affected teeth. On many occasions, the affected person is not aware of what they are suffering from and it is usually the dentist who is the first to diagnose the problem. It is also common for the first notice of this pathology to be given by our partner or whoever we share the bedroom with.

It is usually caused by anxiety, work stress and nerves. A very common solution is the use of silicone splints. These act on the consequences but not on the causes of bruxism.

In these cases, massage can offer other types of help and solutions. Kobido massage eliminates accumulated stress in the muscles of the face, prevents facial stiffness, relieves migraines and stimulates the nervous system by acting on the face, neck and shoulders.

Normally from the very first session you start to notice the effects of the massage, although a certain frequency is advisable. You should aim for a weekly or biweekly session of about 40 minutes. Especially in times of greater stress.
