The classical pedicure is quite traumatic and its result depends entirely on the skill of the specialist. The later types of pedicure, such as the hardware and spa pedicure, reduced the risks of skin trauma to a minimum, but the result of the procedure was still dependent on the professional experience of the master. Only one type of pedicure completely excludes the possibility of cuts and injuries during the process - a pedicure with fish.
Fishes that make a pedicure are relatives of giant carp and goldfish (apparently, they inherited from the latter the ability to fulfill the desires of clients about soft and tender feet). At the same time, the size of the Garra Rufa is minimal: in length they reach only a couple of centimeters. In America, Garra Rufa is called "Doctor Fish" for her careful attitude to the skin of her "patients". This species of fish has no teeth at all, so the pedicure with the fishes of Garra Rufa is absolutely painless and safe procedure.
Fish pedicure is not only a pleasant, but also a useful process: relieves eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis. In addition to the pedicure, Garra Rufa make a foot acupressure, normalizing the circulation of blood in the capillaries.
How to make a pedicure with fish?
Unfortunately, at home, such a pedicure is unlikely: Garra Rufa - a very rare fish, not cheap, and requires special conditions of detention. Therefore, it is best to hold a pedicure with fish in the cabin.
How do pedicure fish in the cabin?
First, the client's feet are carefully examined by a doctor: open wounding is a contraindication to the procedure.
Then the client drops the pre-washed feet into the fish tank. Usually one procedure uses about 100 fish. The water temperature in the tank is maintained at 37 degrees, which is not harmful for fish, because they feel good in hot water. Hungry fish for 15-30 minutes completely clean the dead skin of the epidermis and cuticles. No unpleasant sensations the client of the salon does not experience, the maximum is a slight tickling.
After the fish work, the master processes the legs. Since the skin is already softened and does not require serious interventions, the procedure is painless.
Why is it necessary to additionally process the skin of the legs after a pedicure with fish?
Unfortunately, even the most hungry fish can not cope with natypeshes or fix the shape of the nails. Therefore, after processing the skin with fish, the master must complete the work and process the nails.
The main concern of customers is that fish, unlike other tools, can not be disinfected. But in any aquarium where the doctor fish are kept, ultraviolet lamps are installed, which purify the water and disinfect it. In addition, before the procedure the client's skin must be treated with an antiseptic.
Another undoubted advantage in choosing a pedicure for fish is the fact that in Turkey they use enzymes that are produced by Garra Rufu, for the manufacture of professional rejuvenating cosmetics. Thus, the pedicure with Garra Rufu is also an additional procedure for skin rejuvenation.
Unfortunately, some salons instead of Garra Rufu use chin-chin fish. They are very similar in appearance, but, unlike Rybka-doctor, Chin-Chin uses not only keratinized skin, but also living skin cells. If, after visiting the salon on the skin, microscopic wounds remain, then it is no longer worth returning to this salon - Garra Rufu is not there.
