What Can Korugi Do? How Long Until You Feel Results, and Our Recommended Treatments

Korugi is a Korean-born beauty method that applies pressure to the bones to improve lymph and blood flow.

It can be received at various salons in Japan too, but what kind of benefits can it actually deliver?

This article introduces the benefits of Korugi, how long it takes to feel results, and KADOMORI’s recommended treatments that can be expected to deliver similar effects to Korugi.

What Benefits Can You Expect from Korugi?

Because Korugi improves lymph and blood flow, several benefits can be expected as a result.

Here we introduce three of these benefits.

Promoting Waste Expulsion

Korugi is a treatment that uses the hands to gently apply pressure to and stroke the facial bones and muscles.

This stimulation smooths lymph and blood flow, making waste accumulated in the body easier to expel.

Those concerned about facial puffiness in particular are likely to feel the effect easily.

After treatment, many people feel their face has become cleaner and lighter, and a small-face effect can be expected.

Improving Dullness

When circulation worsens, your complexion can look dark, and skin dullness may concern you.

Korugi approaches deep into the skin to improve blood flow, supporting a brighter skin tone.

After receiving treatment, complexion improves, and many people feel their skin has become healthier.

Improving Facial Sagging

With age, the facial muscles weaken, and sagging can gradually become a concern.

Korugi works on deep muscles, stimulating and tightening muscles that had become underused.

Continuing treatment makes the facial line cleaner, giving a lifted impression.

You may increasingly feel you look more youthful each time you check the mirror.

Incorporating Korugi to help you smile with confidence is also recommended.

How Long Does It Take to Feel Korugi’s Effects?

One of Korugi’s appeals is that you can relatively easily feel results at an early stage.

Many people feel their face has become cleaner right after treatment, and those who were especially concerned about puffiness tend to feel the change even more easily.

This is because Korugi’s treatment improves blood and lymph flow, making waste easier to expel.

Around 1 to 3 days after treatment, you can feel the effect even more.

This is because your body’s circulation regulates and excess fluid and waste are expelled, making the facial line look sharper and improving complexion.

Also, as circulation is promoted, your whole face often feels warm right after treatment, and improvement in coldness can also be expected.

However, please note that how long the effect lasts varies by individual, and a single treatment won’t maintain the effect for a long period.

Receiving treatment continuously makes it easier to maintain a less puffy, more defined facial line, and a beautiful state for longer.

Is It True That Korugi Hurts?

Korugi often carries an image of being “painful,” but what’s the reality?

Certainly, since it’s a treatment that firmly approaches the bones and muscles, you may feel more stimulation than with an ordinary massage.

Here we detail the pain associated with Korugi.

You May Feel Pain If Waste Has Accumulated

Because Korugi applies firmer pressure to the bones and muscles than an ordinary massage, some people feel it’s a bit painful at first.

If lymph and blood flow are stagnant and waste has accumulated, stimulating that area can make pain more noticeable.

However, this is proof that the body is signaling it wants to expel waste.

As you receive treatment, flow gradually improves, and many people find that “it hurt at first, but as I continued, it changed to a pleasant kind of discomfort.”

Of course, how pain feels varies from person to person.

Temporary Bruising or Internal Bleeding Can Occur

Because this treatment firmly applies pressure to the bones and muscles, the skin can sometimes be strained, occasionally causing temporary bruising or internal bleeding.

Those with thin blood vessels or thin skin may have a slightly higher risk.

However, this is just minor damage that occurs during treatment, and it usually disappears naturally over time.

Sufficient moisturizing and care after treatment can also help prevent bruising.

Our Recommended Treatments for Those Interested in Beauty!

KADOMORI offers many treatments perfect for those thinking “I want a smaller face,” “I want a cleaner facial line,” or “I want firm, beautiful skin.”

We offer treatments recommended for those particular about beauty, including KADOMORI-Style Facial Slimming, which balances the bone structure and muscles; Face-Sculpting Facial, which improves lymph flow; and Small-Face Lift Photo, which enhances firmness and elasticity.

Here we detail our treatments.

KADOMORI-Style Facial Slimming

KADOMORI-Style Facial Slimming is a treatment aimed at balancing the whole face.

Rather than simply making the face look smaller, it adjusts the position and size of each feature while considering the bone structure, guiding you toward a natural, beautiful facial line.

Using original techniques born from years of research and experience, its hallmark is that you can feel change without strain.

Furthermore, treatment uses a special technique called the “Synchro Wave,” working on the bone structure in addition to skin and muscles.

This promotes blood and lymph flow, not just clearing puffiness but also adjusting the face from its foundation, so lasting change can be expected.

Face-Sculpting Facial ＜Synchro Wave＞

Face-Sculpting Facial ＜Synchro Wave＞ is a special all-hand treatment using electricity, aiming to tighten the facial line and achieve a cleaner small face through the synergy of hand technique and current.

Using our own specially developed equipment, a weak current flows from the practitioner’s hands during massage, allowing an approach to deeper muscles and lymph than an ordinary massage.

As lymph flow improves, puffiness and excess fluid are expelled, making it easier to feel your facial line tighten.

Also, because it supports lifting while loosening muscular tension, many people feel their face has become “lighter” or their skin has gained “more firmness.”

Furthermore, using our own specially developed massage cream delivers necessary nutrients to the skin while achieving an even higher treatment effect.

It’s a popular treatment not just for a smaller face, but for beauty skincare too.

Small-Face Lift Photo

Small-Face Lift Photo is a treatment combining special light (IPL), which works deep into the skin, with high-frequency (RF) energy, aiming for a lifting effect and improved skin firmness.

IPL (light) regulates skin turnover, addressing the causes of spots and dullness while brightening the overall skin tone.

RF (radio-frequency), meanwhile, delivers heat deep into the skin to promote collagen production, supporting the restoration of elasticity.

Combining these two technologies promotes lifting from the skin’s foundation, tightening the facial line.

It’s also recommended for those concerned about sagging, nasolabial folds, or enlarged pores — a treatment recommended for those who want to achieve both a smaller face and beautiful, age-defying skin at the same time.
