How does Kobido work?
Kobido is not just relaxation. It is deep work with facial tissues that engages several different mechanisms at once.
- Stimulation of facial muscles (12 mimic muscles) — improved tension, a "natural lift" without muscle paralysis.
- Lymphatic drainage of the face and neck — reduction of swelling and toxin removal.
- Improved microcirculation — radiance, oxygenation, and improved skin colour.
- Mobilisation of subcutaneous tissues (SMAS) — a needle-free lift that elevates sagging areas.
- Stimulation of acupressure points — energy release, relaxation of facial expressions, and smoothing of mimic wrinkles.
- Neck and décolletage massage — reduction of Venus rings and improvement of the facial contour.
Kobido vs standard facial massage — the difference
Kobido is not a relaxation facial massage. It is a precise technique with several distinguishing features.
- Sequence: a strictly defined order of strokes and movements — from warming the tissues to drainage, lifting, and contouring.
- Speed: characteristic fast vibrations and percussive movements activate the facial muscles.
- Depth: work at the SMAS level (superficial musculo-aponeurotic system) — the same area where a surgeon intervenes.
- Durability: results are cumulative after a series — it is not just temporary relaxation.
Who is Kobido for?
Kobido can be a good choice in many situations — both as a preventative measure and as support for visible changes.
- Sagging corners of the mouth, cheeks, and facial contour.
- Swollen, "heavy" face in the morning.
- Grey, dull-looking skin.
- Facial muscle tension — clenched jaw, tired facial expressions.
- Ageing prevention (30+) — before clear changes appear.
- Preparation for an important event — a wedding, party, or photo shoot.
- A supplement to aesthetic medicine treatments.
When should you NOT have Kobido?
What does a Kobido session look like?
A Kobido session follows a strictly defined sequence of steps.
- Makeup removal and cleansing — the skin must be clean before the massage.
- Application of oil or serum — the massage requires appropriate slip.
- Massage sequence — neck → décolletage → face → forehead → eye area.
- Work with acupressure points — unblocking the meridians.
- Final serum or mask — active ingredients penetrate deeper thanks to warmed and better-perfused tissues.
Results — when are they visible?
Kobido results grow with subsequent sessions — from immediate radiance to a lasting lift.
- After 1 session: immediate radiance, reduction of swelling, and relaxation of facial expressions.
- After 5 sessions: visible lifting of the facial contour, improved skin tension, and reduction of mimic wrinkles.
- After 10 sessions: a lasting lifting effect and improved skin structure — many clients find that others notice the results.
Kobido + other treatments — synergy
Kobido blends perfectly with other treatments, enhancing their effects.
- Needle-free mesotherapy (before the massage) — active ingredients penetrate deeper after the tissues are warmed.
- Serum with hyaluronic acid or peptides — application to warmed skin increases ingredient penetration.
- Profhilo (a week later) — Kobido can enhance the effects of revitalisation.
- LPG face (Cellu M6) — a mechanical version of similar effects; the combination provides the maximum lifting result.
Kobido vs Botox — different mechanisms, not competitors
Kobido and Botox work in completely different ways — and that is why they can complement each other rather than exclude one another.
- Kobido: exercises and contours muscles, preserves natural facial expressions, and results require regularity.
- Botox: relaxes and blocks muscles, smooths dynamic wrinkles, and results last for several months.
