Fish Spa Treatment

Kai Thai Spa in Parktown North presents the “Fish therapy Spas” which are the first fully equipped fish spas in South Africa. The Garra species or ‘doctor fish’ is the name given to the two species of Garra Ryfa and Cyprinion fish, which are essentially little dermatologists in a non-medical sense. This harmless species of fish originate in Turkey, living and breeding in outdoor pools of Turkish spas, where they have been used for hundreds of years to feed on the dead and affected skin of patients presenting with medical conditions such as psoriasis, eczema and other dermatological complaints. After your treatment at the Kai Thai Spa in Parktown North, the healthy tissue is left to grow normally. These incredible fish are also helpful for removing of skin smear and aging cortex, improving blood circulation and maintaining healthy skin.

Generally spas of this nature are not meant as a curative treatment option but only to alleviate symptoms, with many patients revisiting the spas on a regular basis. Having said this, in some cases, patients have experienced a complete cure of Psoriasis! Of course, due to the unpredictable nature of this disease, this is not a guarantee. For everyone else with healthy skin, the Fish Spa therapy at Kai Thai Spa in Parktown North is a wonderful escape from the pressures and stresses of day-to-day living. You can dip your feet in the water and allow the Garra Ryfa to work their gentle magic on your tired feet, hands and even body.

Prices:

• 15 minutes – R70
• 30 minutes – R140
• 60 minutes - R280

Please note that:

• These fish do not bite (they don’t have teeth); they suck, scrape and gently nibble away dead skin cells, so the treatment doesn’t hurt at all! But, it does tickle!
• Kai Thai Spa in Parktown North maintains an exceptionally high standard of hygiene and keeps our tanks in pristine condition. Furthermore, the fish cannot transmit diseases, so there is absolutely no risk of you contracting any ailments from the water.
• We here at Kai Thai Spa in Parktown North do supplement our fishes’ diet with other foods.
