What do garra rufa fishes do?
The Garra Rufa or doctor fish basically nibbles on the dead skin cells by sucking and licking at the skin. These fish produce a natural process is similar to exfoliation by schooling together and concentrating on the areas of the skin which are in most need of treatment. The Garra rufa concentrate on these areas of dry and infected skin simply because these are the areas from which it easiest for them to feed and obtain needed nutrients. Using this technique of nibbling and sucking, the garra rufa is able to gently peel the layer of dead skin from the foot but leaves the under layer of healthy skin untouched. during this process it is said that the fish secrete an enzyme that helps with the healing process and rejuvenation of the skin.
