Las orígenes del masaje Kobido
Kobido massage is an ancestral Japanese massage.
The origin of “ko” (ancient) “bi” (beauty) “do” (way) means “ancient way of beauty”. Born in 1472, kobido is a set of massage techniques designed to smooth facial features and boost blood circulation.
This massage provides a natural face lift.
This massage involves the use of various techniques: smoothing, kneading, bandaging and other meridian stimulation. This treatment varies between pressure, sculpting and stretching the skin for an immediate lifting effect.
Kobido is highly complex, based on a number of techniques divided into 48 categories, each with different variations depending on the part of the face to which they are applied. They are performed with very little oil or cream, to maintain close contact with the tissues.
Depending on the intensity and speed at which the gestures are performed, the action on the facial structures is more or less profound, the aim of the session being to provoke a real “lifting” effect on the face.
You get up from the massage table with the sensation of very firm, “injected” skin, and muscles that are still there!
In all cases, Kobido is for tired, aged faces. It is not useful before the age of 30.
How does a session at Institut Ruth Niddam 32 Avenue Matignon, 75008 Paris work?
The session lasts between 30 minutes and an hour.
During the first consultation, Ruth Niddam draws up a personalized assessment of your skin’s condition, your general state of health, your desires and your expectations.
By placing her eyes and hand on your face, Ruth Niddam is able to assess the nature of your skin: loss of hydration, dry, devitalized skin, etc…
All these indications help him to know how to begin his massage with the key, appropriate gestures of Kobido massage.
On perfectly cleansed skin, the first step consists of smoothing and draining movements using fingertips barely moistened with Vivalto Serum Oil from the Ruth Niddam Paris Green Cosmetics range.
Ruth Niddam then moves on to work on the décolleté and nape of the neck.
Finally, her hands move progressively up the entire face in this order: the oval, cheeks, temples, forehead, mouth and eyes last separately as these are the most delicate parts, one side and then the other.
For each step, the two hands are separated: one diagnoses the sequence and feels how the skin, muscles and tissues react, while the other taps, vibrates and smoothes.
Ruth Niddam finishes the session with a smoothing treatment using a Gua-Sha.
