i remembered passing by a fish spa at Pyramid while we were roaming around the malls pushing Dayana around in her stroller the last few times we were there. i didn't know the name of the spa, but i had a vague idea of where the spa was located. so we left the house at 8.30pm. it was a Saturday so i was worried that by the time we found parking, the spa might close or whatever (you never know if those fishies got last calls like restaurants do, haha). thanks to lady luck, we found a parking without much hassle so off we went zooming down the escalators to LG where i thought the spa was located (and i was right, phew!). the spa is located at LG2.89.
so the official name for the fishy spa is the Foot Master Fish Spa. each session cost rm38 for 30 minutes of fish therapy. i'm not sure about the available promotions though, since i only wanted to come for the experience, lol. they say your feet will be a whole lot smoother after the therapy since the fishes will nibble the dead skin cells off your feet. they can also help in improving skin ailments. i didn't know how true this was though. but it was fun to try something different.
first we had to cleanse our feet before dipping our feet into the tank. they gave us a blue towel each and then we headed over to one of the tanks with the small fishies in it. Significant Other was the first to dip his feet in. omg the first time in was wayyyyyyyyyy ticklish. hahaha. geliiiiiiiiiiiiiii~~~ imagine, as soon as you put your feet in the tank a school of fishies will swim right over and nibble your feet like nobody's business. a couple of people who already had their feet immersed in a tank looked our way with amused expressions on their faces at the sight our reaction to the fishies. haha.
but after the first 5 minutes it started to feel better. even soothing, to be exact. and less ticklish too. one guy put his hand into the tank and the fishies were all over it. someone even took a short nap while at it. i think there were about three types of fish available. we went tank-hopping and tried all of them. i think i prefer the smaller fishies the best. or maybe the bigger fishies were already full with other people's dead skin cells, i don't know hahah but they were less livelier than the smaller ones. i don't really know what kind of fish they were though. but they were definitely not related directly to the piranha. if they were you would've left the spa with no feet. hoho. Significant Other took a couple of video shots with my cam. unfortunately no photos of him =( as i was handling Dayana - oh, i forgot to mention, she came with us too =P. she wasn't entirely interested in the fish.
our first time in with the smallest fishies. check out my feet! wargh!
Significant Other foot whoring with the slightly bigger fishies
wearing Dayana in my NYC, didn't have to worry about dipped tails
she was sleepy! a total angel during the first 20 minutes
after our thirty minutes were up we headed over in a room with really nice comfy chairs and we were given a free short foot massage. well, actually we were given the massage with the intention of promoting their foot products, particularly the Skin Softening Gel, which can help remove dead skin cells from your skin, something that normal soap can't do. using this makes your skin fairer and will allow moisturizer to absorb faster into your skin. just rub it onto your skin on any parts of your body twice a week after showering, followed with your favorite moisturizer. you can even use it on your baby's knees, if your baby has black-ish knees from crawling around alot. Significant Other, being the softy that he is, bought a big bottle of the gel and a small bottle of moisturizer T_T.
i'm not sure if my feet feels smoother than they actually were before i went for the therapy, but i enjoyed it anyway. i'd rate this as something new to experience. not for the extreme ticklish (*think eiwa!*). but come to think of it, it's only ticklish at the initial stage. once you get used to it, you'll wish you could leave your feet in the tank, haha. is it possible to do a whole body dip, i wonder? =P~~
