KOBIDO – The Japanese Art of Natural Face Lifting
Discover Kobido, the ancient Japanese facial massage known as one of the most advanced techniques of natural rejuvenation.
At Makana Massage Therapy in Southsea, Kobido is more than a facial treatment - it is a refined ritual that restores balance, enhances your natural glow, and deeply relaxes the nervous system.
A Tradition Rooted in Japanese Healing
Kobido, meaning “The Ancient Way of Beauty,” was once reserved for Japanese royalty. This sophisticated technique combines precise, rhythmic hand movements with lifting, sculpting and relaxing strokes to stimulate the deeper layers of the face, neck and décolleté.
It is a unique blend of therapeutic massage and aesthetic refinement - supporting both outer radiance and inner harmony.
​​
A Gentle Notice About Upcoming Changes
Kobido is currently available as a single session.
However, in the near future it will be offered exclusively as part of carefully designed treatment packages, allowing for deeper, longer-lasting and more holistic results.
If you have been considering a single Kobido session, this is the perfect time to book.

Why Kobido Is Different
Unlike standard facials, Kobido works not only on the skin but on:
• facial muscles
• circulation and lymphatic flow
• nervous system regulation
• energetic balance
The dynamic rhythm of the technique alternates between fast lifting sequences and slow, calming movements. This creates a powerful yet deeply relaxing experience.
It is both invigorating and grounding at the same time.
