Pedicure with fish garra rufa

Garra Rufa fish pedicure has long earned the commitment of women in Europe and Asia, where this procedure has been practiced successfully for several years. According to one version, pedicure fish was born in China, although the fish that cleansed the skin were chin-chin. The spa procedure was available exclusively to wealthy grandees and representatives of the imperial family. At present, Garra Rufa fish peeling with fish has earned itself true fame not only abroad, but also among our compatriots.

Fishes that make a pedicure belong to the carp family, but do not have teeth, their length is from 5 to 12 cm. The habitat is typical for the Middle East (Turkey, Syria, Iraq), it was from there that fish came to us. Garra Ruff was originally used for medical purposes as skin cleansers in the treatment of psoriasis. Gradually, the exotic procedure was increasingly used in beauty salons and, in the end, conquered the whole world with its unconventional approach to the standard pedicure procedure.

How is the fish peeling procedure?

The scheme of the procedure is quite simple.

1. The client’s spa salon pre-washed the feet down into the tank-aquarium, in which the water temperature is maintained at a comfortable level for the person - 37 ° С.
2. In the aquarium run more than a hundred small fish, which begin their work. Since hungry fish do not have teeth, they, like suckers, clean the upper layer of skin by themselves, gradually freeing it from dead skin cells of the epidermis. However, they simply can not damage healthy skin, as is sometimes the case with traditional pedicure.
3. As a rule, the procedure takes Garra Rufa no more than 30 minutes. After that, the master starts the traditional pedicure, though now he will only affect the work with the nail plate, since the fish have already done all the work with the skin of the feet.

For those who want to save time and money, but at the same time experience the unique sensations of an exotic procedure, you can omit this stage and do a pedicure with your own hands at home.

What are the advantages of non-standard fish peeling?

1. Firstly, pedicure with Garra Rufa fish gently cares for your feet, devoid of such common flaws as cuts, excessive cutting of the skin, the sensitivity of certain areas of the feet.
2. Secondly, due to the point of contact with the skin, we get a delicate foot massage that activates the protective functions of our body. No wonder the procedure was carried out in ancient China, where the tradition of foot acupuncture has survived to this day.
3. Thirdly, of course, it is very nice. True, those who are afraid of tickling, it may be difficult to withstand this procedure for a considerable time. You can check your soy resistance at home: completely relax and let someone follow in your footsteps with a feather or a soft roller. If this contact does not cause discomfort - feel free to head for the SPA procedure. After all, in addition to the cosmetological effect, you will also get psychological, since watching the Garra Rufa fish is a great way to relax and get rid of bad thoughts.

There is a perception that this procedure is not hygienic due to the fact that the fish is the main tool of the pedicure cannot be disinfected as standard equipment. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that every honest salon cares about the beauty and well-being of its customers and would not offer dear women a procedure that could harm them.
