Kobido Face Massage
An ancient ritual to sculpt, energise and restore
$190 · 60 minutes
Optional add-ons: MV SkinTherapy Mineral Mask · $25 · Buccal Massage · $25Kobido is a traditional Japanese facial massage—once reserved for the imperial family—known as The Imperial Touch. This hands-only ritual works across skin, fascia, muscles, and energy to restore natural vitality and flow.
Through precise, rhythmic movements—lifting, tapping, kneading, and acupressure—it encourages collagen and elastin production, improves circulation, releases tension, and tones the face naturally.
Beyond the visible, Kobido supports the flow of Qi, your life force energy, helping to clear stagnation and restore balance from within. It’s more than a facial—it’s a meditative, sensory experience that softens what feels tight and brings radiance from the inside out.
For optimal results: A series of treatments every two weeks for 8 weeks, followed by monthly sessions for maintenance and long-term skin vitality.
