Alice Chavanne, Facialiste - Kobido - Biarritz

Alice Chavanne offers personalised facial treatments at Les Apar'thés, a treatment setting on Rue Gambetta in Biarritz. The practice focuses on Kobido, a Japanese-inspired facial massage, alongside face sculpting, lymphatic drainage and skin-focused care. The approach is designed around the condition of the skin and the areas of tension present on the day of the appointment, rather than following an identical routine for every client.

The signature treatment combines several stages. The skin is cleansed and prepared before slow drainage movements encourage circulation and help reduce facial congestion. Manual work then moves between the surface and deeper facial tissues, with techniques intended to relax muscles, ease tension and support a more rested appearance. Kobido-inspired movements form part of this hands-on work, with pressure and intensity adjusted during the session.

Intrabuccal massage can also be included. Performed with gloves inside the mouth, this technique focuses on the jaw and surrounding muscles, areas that can hold tension linked to clenching or bruxism. It may also address the muscles around the mouth and nasolabial area. The treatment continues with a hydrating mask and LED, selected to support skin recovery, regeneration and radiance. Microcurrent may be used when considered appropriate for the skin, and is included in treatment courses.

Alice Chavanne has training in Kobido, face sculpting, lymphatic drainage, myofascial and intrabuccal techniques, peels and LED, as well as a CAP esthétique qualification. The practice treats skin as a responsive, living system, with the hands guiding the choice of movements, intensity, products and areas of focus. The result is a facial experience that combines cosmetic care with massage and attention to facial tension.

The setting suits clients looking for a focused, one-to-one treatment rather than a conventional beauty salon visit. It can appeal to people seeking help with a tense jaw, a congested or tired-looking face, dehydration, loss of radiance or general facial relaxation. Practical skincare guidance is also provided so that clients can continue the routine at home. The treatment room at Les Apar'thés offers a dedicated address for appointments on Rue Gambetta, with another cabinet available elsewhere in Biarritz.
