Lift & Sculpt Manual Facial
The pinnacle sensory ritual — a 120-minute, non-surgical lift performed entirely by hand.
🧴Your visit, step by step · what's included
- 1Consultation and skin analysis — we study your facial structure and skin condition to plan where the sculpting work will make the most visible difference
- 2Manual cleanse and warm prep — warmth and hands-on cleansing soften the tissues so the muscles respond fully to the massage ahead
- 3Lymphatic drainage — precise, feather-light strokes move retained fluid out of the face, visibly de-puffing and sharpening your natural contours
- 4Sculpting and lifting massage — deep, kobido-inspired techniques work the facial muscles upward and outward for a lifted, defined look — a natural, non-invasive alternative
- 5A firming treatment mask — a tightening mask sets the lift while peptides support the skin's own firmness
- 6Serums, hydration and SPF — firming actives, deep hydration and sun protection lock in your sculpted result
✦Benefits to expect
- Lifted, more defined contour
- Reduced puffiness
- Firmer, more radiant skin

Frequently asked questions
Is there any downtime?
None — just deep relaxation. Skin looks lifted and radiant afterward, with no recovery needed.
How many sessions will I need?
As a luxury manual lift, results are cumulative; booking regularly, monthly or seasonally, builds and maintains tone and definition over time.
Who is it best for?
It's ideal for fine lines, loss of elasticity, and softening contours, and for anyone who loves a long, hands-on, device-free experience. Let us know about any sensitivities.
How is it different from a device treatment?
There are no machines — the lift and sculpt come entirely from advanced manual and myofascial techniques over a full two hours, making it as restorative as it is effective.
How do I extend the results?
Keep skin hydrated, pause actives for a day, and wear SPF. Gentle upward massage at home helps extend the sculpted effect between visits.
