The treatment
Kobido, an ancestral art
Kobido is a facial massage inspired by traditional Japanese hand techniques. It combines effleurage, gentle pinching, drainage and acupressure points for a natural, long-lasting lifting effect.
No machines, no needles. Just hands, precise gestures, and an in-depth understanding of facial skin and muscles.
Who it's for & why
Kobido is suited to every face — men and women, at any age. Especially recommended as prevention on younger skin, and just as powerful on mature skin to redefine the facial contour.

Frequently asked questions
You may be wondering...
Should I do a Kobido package, or is one session enough?+
The first effects are visible from the very first session: a brighter complexion, more relaxed features, a redefined contour. For a lasting lifting effect, a package of 5 sessions close together — one every two weeks — is recommended. After that, one monthly or seasonal maintenance session is enough to keep the results.
Is Kobido relaxing?+
Yes, fully. Even though some movements are brisk and toning, they always alternate with slow, draining motions, acupressure points and gentler moments. The session ends with an awakening on the crystal singing bowl. Many clients fall asleep during the treatment.
What's the difference between Kobido and a medical lift or injections?+
Kobido is a 100% natural, hands-on technique. No needles, no toxins, no downtime. It stimulates collagen production and lymphatic drainage for a progressive, lasting lifting effect. It's a gentle alternative to medical aesthetics.
Can I have a Kobido after an injection or botox?+
Yes, but not right away. After a botox or hyaluronic acid injection, it's recommended to wait at least 2 to 3 weeks before having a deep massage like Kobido, to avoid shifting the product. The exact waiting time depends on the type of injection, the treated area and your aesthetic doctor's advice — always ask them first. Note: repeated deep massages can speed up the breakdown of hyaluronic acid. Always mention your history when booking.
Is Kobido suitable for younger skin?+
Yes, and it's actually a great idea. On younger skin, Kobido plays a preventive role: it stimulates collagen production, maintains facial muscle tone, drains and gives an instant glow. Kobido is suited to every face — men and women, at any age. Laura adapts her movements to your features and needs.
ⓘ Good to know before booking
Kobido is not recommended in case of facial skin lesions or inflammation, a recent aesthetic procedure (injection, peeling, laser — minimum 15-day wait), or a specific condition requiring medical advice. If in doubt, mention your situation when booking or contact Laura at contact@vaguedessens.fr.
