Doctor Fish

Having a bath of hungry fish nibble away at your skin may sound like some ancient torture method but it is in fact the hottest new beauty treatment.

Doctor fish are the next big thing in the beauty world and are said to be a real treat for those who suffer from skin complaints such as psoriasis or eczema

The treatment, which is currently huge in America, involved putting the affected area into a bath of Garra rufa or Cyprinion macrostomus fish which then eat away any dead areas of the skin, leaving the healthy skin to grow.

The most popular area to be treated is the feet but it is expecte dthat spas in the US and soon the UK will also begin to offer full body treatments.

The effects of a fish nibble reportedly lasts up to three months which is great news for anyone with unsightly or sore skin patches.
