Soin Drainage
Japanese-Style Aging Care & Face-Slimming Massage
Soin Drainage is Caoru’s original Japanese facial massage method, developed and refined through years of professional practice and international training.
The treatment goes beyond the face, working across the décolleté, shoulders, neck, face, and head. It begins with a Welcome Massage as a pre-treatment, followed by Caoru’s unique Four-Zone Diagnosis, which assesses the skin and facial condition across four distinct zones to guide the treatment.
Soin Drainage brings together Japanese-style techniques, Japanese-style Shiatsu (Japanese acupressure point techniques), stretching, French soin techniques including effleurage, and lymphatic drainage techniques learned in Italy. Drawing on Caoru’s professional training and experience in Japan and internationally, these elements have been carefully integrated and structured into one distinctive Japanese facial massage method.
Rather than following the same treatment for every client, the Four-Zone Diagnosis allows the technique to be adapted to individual conditions while maintaining a systematic treatment structure.
Soin Drainage has also been published in Japan as a professional facial massage training DVD, reflecting the method’s established training system and professional foundation.
