I have psoriasis can you help?

There is no known cure for psoriasis, but there cannot be a much better way, to provide temporary relief, than to have our fish gentle remove, the dead skin cells, associated with this unfortunate condition. We offer a course of treatment for sufferers who have psoriasis on their “elbows.” Please call us first for further information on 053 9174217..

We look forward to introducing you to this exciting new concept soon.

We offer GIFT VOUCHERS for that special occasion.

In considering the welfare of our fish, we are not able to accept clients who have recently (within three days of a fish pedicure) applied artificial tan to their feet. Nail varnish/polish is not a problem, as the fish are only interested in “dead skin cells.”
