The Japanese facelift (Kobido) is a rejuvenating massage of the face, neck and décolleté that produces a lifting effect without the use of a scalpel. This makes it an alternative to aesthetic medicine and plastic surgery procedures.
Unlike classic massage techniques, it reaches into the deeper layers of the skin, affecting specific subcutaneous points - similar to acupuncture and acupressure. The Chinese medicine on which this massage is based is referred to as 'anma', which means pressing and rubbing.
Massage,combines traditional Japanese medical concepts with various manipulation techniques. It is mainly characterised by the pace at which the therapist works with the hands and fingers - a combination of slow and fast movements. The slow movements induce a state of deep relaxation, while the intense movements stimulate the skin to achieve the desired lifting effect.
The treatment consists of several stages:
1. deep tissue massage - performed dry, it aims to relieve muscle tension in the deeper muscles of the face, neck and décolleté
2. relaxation - carried out with cream, its aim is to improve circulation, relaxation, muscle relaxation and stress reduction
3. lymphatic drainage - aimed at improving lymph circulation, reducing swelling and puffiness
4. lifting - the most intensive part of this massage to improve blood circulation, increase tissue temperature and lift tissues
5. acupressure - the final stage to deepen the relaxation effect through pressure on specific points on the face aimed at having a calming effect
o elimination of muscle tensions that cause facial wrinkles
o stimulation of collagen and elastin production
