Steps of a Kobido session

Before you arrive

Booked your slot via the online calendar or by phone? All that's left is to come to the studio in Geneva, no particular preparation needed. Light make-up removal is simply recommended if you're wearing make-up on the day of your appointment.

1. Welcome and diagnosis

Every session starts with a conversation with Delphine: your expectations, your skin type, any areas of tension are reviewed. This diagnosis allows the protocol to be tailored to your face - an approach that reflects the studio's whole philosophy: take your time, and personalize every treatment.

2. Cosmetic acupuncture

The treatment begins with fine needles placed on the meridians and acupuncture points of the face, to naturally stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. It's a calm, deeply relaxing moment - read more about it in our article on cosmetic acupuncture.

3. Kobido massage

Once the needles are removed, it's time for Kobido massage: percussions, kneading and rhythmic draining extend the effect of the treatment, release muscle tension and lift the facial oval.

4. Final drainage

The session ends with gentle draining movements, to help toxins circulate and boost microcirculation. Features are relaxed, skin looks plumper, and the complexion is visibly brighter.

How long does a session last?

Allow around 1 hour for the full protocol, diagnosis included. That's the time needed for each step - acupuncture, massage, drainage - to be carried out without rushing, in the calm of the studio.

"A true moment of reconnecting with yourself, far from any invasive method."

After the session

No social downtime is needed: you can resume your activities right after the treatment. Some clients feel a light, temporary redness, a sign that microcirculation has been properly stimulated - it usually fades within a few minutes.
