Kobido is an art of touch that originated in Japan in the 15th century. Originally, it was reserved for women of the imperial court, who were keen to preserve the radiance of their complexion without the use of cosmetics. Today, this ancient treatment is practised in only a handful of spas in France.

The technique is based on acupressure and manual drainage. It works deeply on the muscles and tissues of the face, without the use of any products or needles. Each movement follows a precise pattern, inherited from a tradition passed down from generation to generation.

Bij Spa Castellane, this treatment finds a setting truly worthy of it. The space is intimate, nestled at the foot of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. The silence of the Gorges du Verdon accompanies each session and prolongs the sense of calm long after the massage has ended.

FAQ

Is Kobido painful?

No, the pressure is precise but never uncomfortable. Some areas may be more sensitive — such as the jaw and temples — but the session remains pleasant from start to finish.

What is the difference between a Kobido treatment and a standard beauty treatment?

Kobido is a therapeutic facial massage, not a cosmetic treatment. It does not use any products, but rather manual pressure and drainage techniques, passed down from a centuries-old Japanese tradition.

How many sessions are needed to see results?

You’ll see a visible difference after the very first session: a fresh complexion and relaxed features. A course of 3 to 5 sessions is recommended for long-lasting effects on firmness and radiance.

Can I have a Kobido treatment after a day in the mountains or a hike?

Yes, it’s actually an excellent idea. The sun and wind in the mountains can leave the skin feeling tired; the drainage techniques used in Kobido are deeply revitalising and provide a lovely way to round off a day in the gorges.

Is Kobido suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. No chemicals are used, just the practitioner’s hands. It is a gentle technique, suitable for both reactive skin and firmer skin.

The Kobido technique - what happens during the session

Here’s how a Kobido session unfolds, from start to finish.

  • Preparing the face: gentle cleansing and conditioning the skin to prepare it for the massage.
  • Pressure on acupressure points: precise manoeuvres along the facial meridians according to Japanese tradition — forehead, temples, jawline and eye area.
  • Lymphatic drainage: a series of gliding movements directed towards the lymph nodes to reduce puffiness and dark circles.
  • Smoothing and finishing: slow, soothing strokes that relax the muscles and restore the complexion’s radiance and firmness.

Benefits of Japanese facial massage

  • Natural lifting effect: facial firming without injections or surgery, through muscle stimulation.
  • An even, radiant complexion: improved microcirculation restores radiance from the very first session.
  • Reduction in facial tension: jaw, forehead, temples — areas often tense due to stress or exposed to the sun and wind in the mountains.
  • Toxin drainage and reduction of dark circles: lymphatic drainage decongests the tissues and brightens the eyes.
  • Deep sensory relaxation: a moment of tranquillity and silence in the heart of the Gorges du Verdon, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Who is this treatment for?

Kobido is suitable for all skin types, for both men and women, whenever you wish to give your face a moment of rest. No products are applied, so those with sensitive or reactive skin can enjoy the treatment without any concerns.

It is also a popular ritual after a day’s hiking in the Gorges du Verdon. The wind, sun and physical exertion take their toll on the face. The drainage techniques used in Kobido restore a sense of lightness to the face and relax the jaws, which are often tense from the effort.

Before an event — a wedding, a birthday, or simply when you fancy feeling good — a single session is enough to achieve visible results. For long-lasting results, a course of several sessions is recommended.
