Since it opened, the SPA at Four Seasons Hotel Madrid has become the quintessential temple to wellness in the city and a perfect place to relax and unwind. This unique experience offers an oasis of peace and wellbeing to anyone seeking balance in body and mind, with the focus on guaranteeing service excellence and outstanding treatments.

Having already established itself as the largest urban spa anywhere in Spain (more than 1,400 square metres or 15,000 square feet), it is now launching a visiting practitioners program for which leading figures in the field of health and beauty will offer unique treatments to Hotel guests and local residents in the capital over the next few months and for a limited time only.

This new program is the latest commitment by the Spa to the experience and high-level professionalism of leading figures in health and beauty, offering sessions and treatments that will enhance the position earned by this temple to wellness as a one-of-a-kind centre.

The line-up for this program will begin with Josep Lupión, an expert in Kobido massage with more than 20 years of experience in the field of health and beauty. He will be available in September (19, 20 and 21), October (5, 6 and 7), November (16, 17 and 18) and December (12, 13 and 14), 2022 for only three Kobido and Deep Face Lifting sessions per day.

Kobido massage (which means “former path to beauty” in Japanese) has more than 540 years of history. It has been developed from a series of techniques handed down over 26 generations that return youthful beauty to the face.

The first step is always a skin analysis using a 3D skin analyser. This is essential for personalising the organic product that will be applied during the treatment, thereby offering a unique experience that is tailored to each recipient.

After the analysis, work begins with a Tibetan singing bowl to achieve better inter-hemisphere brain connections and thus further enhance the experiences. The massage therapist will then start to relax the areas around the cervical spine, shoulders and neckline, enabling the patient to experience a sense of peace and relaxation.  To eliminate toxins and prepare the face - so that the benefits to be gained from the active ingredients in the product applied during the massage can fully penetrate the skin - a cleanse and enzymatic exfoliation process is performed.

“After the cleanse and enzymatic exfoliation, the work focuses on the face and this is when the treatment enters the stage in which the patient starts to enjoy a floating feeling of not really even being there. Hand motions become intertwined and countless sensory journeys are strung together through endless very complex movements that work on every level,” says Josep Lupión.

By combining percussion, vibration, stimulation and relaxation movements, among others, this massage becomes a unique experience that is perfect for ageing skin with impurities, dehydration, a lack of luminosity or even muscular tension and stress. This treatment is world famous as a genuine natural lifting process that highlights facial features and returns natural beauty, thanks only to the hands of the specialist - a true luxury for the skin.

“Kobido treatment is not so much a massage as an experience unto itself. The result is oxygenated, smooth and youthful skin, as well as unequalled peace and emotional release,” says Josep Lupión.

  • Kobido price: EUR 600
  • Treatment duration: 2 hours

Deep Face Lifting will be another of the therapies on offer from this therapist during his time at the Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Madrid. This is an entirely natural non-invasive, fast-acting and anti-gravity treatment for achieving strengthened and lifted facial muscles, an anti-ageing massage in which Josep Lupión becomes a skilful sculptor to shape the face of his patient.

Its benefits include a reduction in wrinkles and the other signs of ageing, and the eradication of emotional blockages, stress and anxiety.

  • Deep Face Lifting price: EUR 450
  • Session duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
