What Is Fish Pedicure?

www.findtheSpa.com

There really are spas around the world which offer adventurous clients a nice, refreshing fish pedicure. The process varies from region to region based on local health regulations, but essentially customers place their bare feet in a modified aquarium pool and allow tiny carp known as garra rufa or "doctor fish" to nibble away at their dead, flaking skin cells. After a 15-30 minute fish pedicure, most customers are treated to a standard pedicure and other foot treatments. 

Because the doctor fish can survive the warm waters of a foot bath, it is an ideal choice for a fish pedicure treatment. In a communal arrangement, often seen in Turkish or Asian spas, a number of clients can soak their feet in a shallow tank while large schools of doctor fish nibble on dead skin cells. 

The experience is said to be more ticklish than painful, since the fish are small and toothless. The treatment leaves the feet feeling incredibly smooth, that it is safer than traditional pedicures, that it can be beneficial for those suffering from minor skin conditions, and that the feeding action produces a relaxing sensation. The procedure is also said to provide relief to those suffering from minor skin conditions like psoriasis.
