Spas and massage
Yes, it tickles! Be pampered by not just one massage therapist but hundreds. Fisho Spa Phuket features Doctor Fish, the Garra Rufa Fish, a toothless fish that sucks dead skin off leaving healthy cells undisturbed.
This natural process is called ichthyotherapy and can be referred to as a wellness bath. The Fisho Spa treatment consists of body cleaning or the removal of dead skin cells and micro-massage which reaches the deepest skin layers while improving blood circulation, thereby better supplying the skin with the oxygen. The skin is much softer and smoother after treatment.
Nicknames for the Garra Rufa include Doctor Fish, Nibble Fish, Kangal Fish and Little Dermatologists. It grows up to 10 cm and thrives in water temperatures of between 15 and 43C.
