Japanese Kobido Facial Massage
This traditional Japanese massage technique stimulates and revitalizes the skin with fast, precise movements. A dynamic facelift massage that activates the lymphatic system, promotes circulation, and boosts metabolism—resulting in an immediate firming, smoothing, and rejuvenating effect. The intensive stimulation enhances facial contours, deeply relaxes, and supports the skin’s natural regeneration.

Transbuccal Facial Massage
The transbuccal facial massage is a powerful sculpting method that focuses on deep tissue relaxation and facial toning. This unique technique uses gentle yet targeted movements inside the mouth with gloves to release tension in the chewing muscles and relax the jaw. It is particularly beneficial for people who suffer from teeth grinding or facial tension. We can easily become so accustomed to facial muscle tightness that we only notice it once it's gone. This deep muscle relaxation not only provides a profound sense of well-being but also softens facial features and enhances natural contours.
