Fish Pedicures involve a client submerging their feet in warm water while tiny carp, called Doctor Fish, eat the dead skin. This pedicure method has become very popular in Asian countries and Turkey, and is now making its way to the U.S... What kind of fish are used? The fish used in fish pedicures are called Doctor fish or Garra Rufa and they feast on dead skin, which is why they enjoy giving pedicures. Your feet are like a big buffet for the Doctor fish.
		Does it hurt? No. Since the fish don't have teeth, they can not puncture the live skin, and because of that there is no pain. But, the treatment does tickle quite a bit, but it's not uncomfortable. In fact, in countries where fish pedicures are popular, people often soak in a full bath full of the fish. How long should my feet soak in the bath? Treatments range anywhere form 15 minutes, to one hour, it's totally up to the person, and of course it's up to how much the fish have to feed on. Most spas to a 15 to 30 minute treatment, then follow up with a foot massage and scrub and can finish off a pedicure with nail trimming and toe polishing, just like any other pedicure.
		What will my feet be like after the fish pedicure? They'll be smooth and free of dead skin or calluses. The Doctor fish bite off all of the dead skin, leaving your skin renewed and soft.
