Kobido Massage is a neuro-sensory therapy and manual facial rejuvenation technique originating in Japan. Known as the ‘non-surgical facelift’, it combines 47 rapid percussion movements , lymphatic drainage and acupressure to stimulate fibroblasts, increase collagen production and tighten facial muscles. Unlike a conventional facial, Kobido works on the deep fascia for an immediate tightening effect.
What is Japanese Kobido massage?
Kobido is an ancestral Japanese technique that combines kneading, percussion, acupressure and facial lymphatic drainage. It acts on the deep layers of the face to stimulate collagen, release tension and provide a natural lifting effect with energetic harmony.
Unlike other techniques with appliances such as the LPG Endermologie facialKobido offers a totally manual work that connects with tradition and deep wellness.
How do we apply Kobido in Sakura Polanco?
At Sakura we work with a 50-minute protocol designed to tone, oxygenate and relax. Our expert therapist applies synchronized maneuvers that promote circulation, drainage and firmness, adapting intensity and rhythm to each client’s skin type.

The Science behind Kobido
- Fibroblast stimulation: The speed of the maneuvers generates heat and hyperemia, activating natural tissue repair.
- Toxin Drainage: Dragging motions eliminate fluid retention that causes “puffy face” (puffiness).
- Muscular Toning: It is a “passive gym” for the face. Awakens muscles that have lost tone due to gravity.
Looking for more in-depth work?
Kobido sculpts and lifts at high speed. However, if you notice that jaw tension jaw tension hardens your features or your face feels “heavy”, we recommend alternating it with our Intraoral Massage. This technique relaxes the muscles from the inside to soften your expression. soften your expression and restore rest to your face.
How many sessions do I need and when will I see results?
An initial guideline of 5 to 7 sessionsone per week, followed by maintenance every 4-6 weeks. Many people feel greater luminosity and relaxation from the first session, and with consistency they are able to sustain the natural lifting effect.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does Kobido Massage tighten the skin or cause flaccidity?
No. On the contrary. The expert technique is performed on the musculature, not by “pulling” the skin. Stimulates elasticity and firms the tissue.
Are the results definitive?
As it is a 100% natural method, it works just like physical exercise: it requires perseverance. With an initial cycle of 6 to 10 sessions we are able to “re-educate” and lift the muscles, but for the effect to last, monthly maintenance is necessary. If you stop stimulating the tissues, the natural aging process will continue its course and the effect will gradually fade.
Is it normal for the face to turn red during the session?
Yes, and it is good. It is called hyperemia. It means that we have increased blood flow, bringing oxygen and nutrients to your skin cells.
