A fish spa, also known as a fish pedicure or fish therapy, is a unique beauty and relaxation treatment where you immerse your feet in a tank or basin filled with small fish, often a species called Garra rufa or “doctor fish.” These fish have a natural tendency to nibble on dead skin cells, and during the treatment, they gently nibble away at the dry and rough skin on your feet, exfoliating and leaving your skin feeling smoother. It’s a non-invasive and novel experience, but it’s essential to consider potential hygiene concerns and allergies before trying it, as well as the ethical treatment of the fish used in the process.

However, concerns about hygiene, infection risk, allergic reactions, skin sensitivity, and ethical considerations exist.
