If you’re looking for a unique and effective way to pamper your feet, then look no further than Mr Nibble – the fish pedicure (also known as Doctor fish and Pedicure Fish) offered at Bakwena Spa. This treatment involves dipping your feet into a tub of warm water filled with fish that nibble away dead skin cells from your toes and soles.These tiny creatures are commonly used in clinics to treat various skin problems.
Many people are curious about this type of pedicure and may have concerns regarding its safety or effectiveness. In this article, we’ll address some common questions surrounding the use of fish in spa treatments.
How Does it Work?
It’s simple – just soak your feet in a tub of warm water filled with these starving little fish! As soon as you dip them into the water, they’ll start nibbling away at any flaky or dry patches on your soles or heels. Don’t worry about getting bitten though; these gentle creatures don’t have teeth but instead use their lips to exfoliate without causing pain.
Not only is this treatment effective at removing dead skin cells from even hard-to-reach areas like between toes or around cuticles – it also stimulates blood flow which improves circulation throughout the body while reducing bacteria growth responsible for foot odour! A 15-minute session will leave you feeling refreshed & rejuvenated.
