Arizona Republic: The Arizona Board of Cosmetology closed a Gilbert salon because the salon offered its customers a foot bath in which Garra Rufa fish imported from China nibbled dead skin from the customer’s feet. It’s a popular procedure in China and other states. Not to worry, however. Because this is such an important issue, the Goldwater Institute filed a lawsuit on behalf of Cindy Vong, the owner, to re-open the salon.

I had this treatment done years ago after a trek in Nepal my feet were destroyed from 7 days of mountains and came out gleaming after one 45 min treatment. So convinced was I by the results and the unique nature of the treatment that I started a “Dr. Fish Spa Therapy” company when I got back home and have centered my life around them ever since. I’m sad to see it being banned in the States. There are fake imitation fish being used that have teeth that give the industry a bad name. Original Garra Rufa from Turkey have no teeth and use their lips to suck at the skin causing no damage, except to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells. I think once there is a regulatory body in place these spas will become more common place, allowing everyone to take advantage of the benefits.
nice post about cosmetics
