ACU & Kobido Facial (Aesthetic Acupuncture + Japanese Massage)

A 90-minute facial treatment that pairs aesthetic (cosmetic) acupuncture with Kobido, a traditional Japanese facial massage, to relax facial muscles and improve the look of skin tone and freshness. At Mednat it is offered as a single session, a five-session package with a vitamin or collagen ampoule each visit, or a taping variant that adds facial taping. It is a popular non-injectable option for those wanting a natural-feeling facial.

ACU & Kobido combines two manual facial techniques in a single 90-minute treatment. Aesthetic acupuncture uses very fine needles placed in the face according to traditional Chinese medicine principles, an approach associated with relaxing facial muscles and stimulating local circulation. Kobido is a traditional Japanese facial massage, sometimes called a natural facelift, using rhythmic manual movements across the face and neck. Together they are intended to leave the face feeling relaxed and looking fresher, with improved tone, without injectables or downtime. At Mednat the treatment is performed by a practitioner at the Parkowa clinic and is offered in three forms. The standard single session is a 90-minute combination of Kobido massage and aesthetic acupuncture. A five-session package keeps the per-session price the same while adding a vitamin or collagen ampoule at each visit, which suits people who want a course for a more cumulative effect, since manual facial techniques generally show their best results over a series rather than a single sitting. A taping variant adds facial taping — the application of specialised tapes intended to support facial muscles — to the massage and acupuncture. Because the treatment is non-invasive there is essentially no downtime beyond possible brief redness from the needles or massage. It is suitable for adults wanting a gentle, natural-feeling facial; pregnancy, active skin infection or a needle phobia should be raised beforehand, and it is offered as a wellbeing and cosmetic treatment rather than a medical one.
