Experience with Fish Pedicure

I would like to know the experience of those who have tried fish pedicure. They say that if its the genuine Dr. Fish then you have a tickling sensation as these fish dont have teeth and suck up all the dead skin.

I did it once and decided to stand belly button deep in the pool to see what would happen. Guess where Dr fish headed first. Never again.

Ban the fish, gift of the nature because bad for health and safety unlike smoke. smoke is better....

Enjoy..

Well its sad to know that it got banned in U.A.E. I have heard about it tickling for some time and then relaxing but uncomfortable. Guess they didn't get the original Dr. Fish treatment as I have heard they only suck the dead skin.

Most of them who go for a fish pedicure have known to be initially saying what you say but once they do it they really enjoy it :-0

There have been concerns but no one has been able to prove anything till now to my knowledge. Also the problem is there are a lot of cheap imitations mushrooming i.e.they use cheaper fish called chin chin instead of Garra Rufa fish.

As far as I have heard its far better and more natural than normal pedicures.

Sounds interesting, but I won't take a chance...

no doubt if you want to lay face down in the tank for 30 minutes they will suck dead skin off your face or the skin off your dead face.

Tried it once. It works. Bit strange though. Some countries are trying to ban it though for health reasons.

Better to have a proper pedicure instead..

It's tickles...and a lot of people find it uncomfortable. As far as I know, they've banned it in the UAE now for health and safety reasons, so don't expect to see it in Qatar anytime soon.
