The Fish Pedicure is a great new trend ready to explode in North America.
They are so special because the are toothless fish that gently nibble as they exfoliate, with a unique ability to provide healing benefits for those suffering from psoriasis or eczema.
For the rest of us, it is a natural way to exfoliate our skin and allow new softer skin to grow in its place.

Sanitation –
Is the “Dr. Fish” Pedicure Safe
Of course it is, here are some ways we do that.
We do a client history. This will let us know if anyone should or shouldn’t be partaking in our treatment.
We do a complete physical examination of feet and hands. We do this by offering a complete manicure and pedicure prior to any immersion. We remove all excess callous and dirt. Nothing gets by our estheticians.
Our clients also always start with a 20 minute soak prior to any immersion, with our own Essential Spa Bath. This product replenishes vitamin and minerals in the skin.
No harsh chemicals are added to the water. Very organic.
All our ponds and aquariums are sanitized by UV Light. UV light is very effective in killing bacteria. We use the Laguna System in our home tank, it filters and destroys algae and harmful organisms in fish tanks. UV light is very effective in killing bacteria, said Joe Schwarz, a chemist who is director of McGill University’s Office for Science and Society and a Gazette science columnist. “I doubt you can get anything.”
Health Canada considers UV devices effective in killing bacteria, viruses and protozoa in drinking water. It does not address spa-related issues. There is no government body that licenses spas in Quebec.
Our spas are spotless, our tools and equipment are disinfected properly.
We love our fish!! They are our pets.780-455-2257
