Fish spa, also known as fish pedicure, is a beauty treatment that involves immersing one's feet in a tank or pool of water containing small fish, typically Garra rufa fish. These fish have a natural tendency to nibble on dead skin cells, which is why they are sometimes called "doctor fish". During the treatment, the fish gently nibble at the feet, exfoliating and softening the skin. Fish spas have gained popularity in recent years as a novel and relaxing way to improve foot health and appearance.
