What to Expect During a Kobido Facial
A step-by-step look at the 60-minute Kobido lifting massage, how it feels, and what to expect afterwards.
If you have booked your first Kobido facial, or you are curious before you do, here is exactly what happens during the 60-minute treatment, and how it feels, so you arrive knowing what to expect.
A brief assessment and preparation
Your session begins with a short skin assessment and a gentle cleanse to prepare your skin. This is also a moment to share any areas of tension or concern so your therapist can focus where you need it most.
The Kobido massage itself
The heart of the treatment is the full Kobido deep-tissue facial massage with acupressure, using nourishing botanical and Japanese camellia oils. Your therapist works with firm, rhythmic techniques to sculpt the jawline, cheekbones, and brow area, followed by a neck and decolletage massage. It finishes with hydration and simple aftercare guidance.
How it feels
Kobido uses firm, rhythmic pressure that should never feel painful. Some areas, particularly the jawline if you hold tension there, can feel more sensitive, and your therapist adjusts the pressure so you stay comfortable throughout. Most people find the experience deeply relaxing, almost meditative.
Afterwards
There is no downtime. You can expect a visible lift and a brighter, more radiant complexion, along with a real sense of calm. You can return to your day straight away, which makes Kobido easy to fit into a busy schedule in Coquitlam or across the Tri-Cities.
