What is Kobido massage?
Kobido ("ancient way of beauty") is a traditional Japanese facial massage over 500 years old. It combines tapping, meridian pressure, smoothing, pinching and drainage in a codified sequence to tone the features and deeply relax.
Does Kobido have a lifting effect?
Yes, it is often called a "natural facelift": by boosting circulation and working the facial muscles, Kobido helps firm the skin and redefine the facial contour. Results build up progressively with regular sessions.
How many Kobido sessions do I need?
A radiant glow is visible after the first session. For firmness or anti-aging goals, a course of 4 to 6 sessions, about one a week, is recommended, followed by monthly maintenance.
Where can I get cosmetic acupuncture in Geneva?

How much does facial acupuncture cost in Geneva?
At Éclat du Temps, the first Kobido & Cosmetic Acupuncture session is 139 CHF (introductory offer), then 150 CHF per session of about 1 hour.
Does cosmetic acupuncture hurt?
No. The needles are much finer than a syringe needle; the sensation is described as light pressure, rarely unpleasant. They are sterile and single-use.
What does facial acupuncture do for the skin?
The fine needles trigger a gentle skin response that boosts the natural production of collagen and elastin: skin looks firmer, more toned and more radiant, and features look more rested.
Is there any downtime after cosmetic acupuncture?
No, you can return to your activities immediately. A slight temporary redness may appear and fades within minutes.
Is there a non-surgical natural facelift in Geneva?
Yes. At Éclat du Temps in Geneva, the Kobido Massage & Cosmetic Acupuncture protocol offers a natural lifting effect with no scalpel, no injection and no downtime.
Are Kobido and cosmetic acupuncture an alternative to Botox?
They are a natural, non-invasive alternative: instead of freezing muscles, the treatment stimulates the skin's own resources (collagen, elastin, microcirculation). Results are progressive and respect natural facial expression.
At what age should I start a natural anti-aging treatment?
There is no minimum age: as prevention when the first fine lines appear, or later to firm and restore radiance. Delphine adapts the protocol to each skin during the consultation.
How long do the results last?
Radiance is visible from the first session. For lasting firmness, a course of 4 to 6 sessions is recommended, then a maintenance session about once a month.
