The latest beauty treatment craze sweeping the world is a fish pedicure.

In the procedure, a person plunges their feet into a tank of water filled with tiny carp called Doctor fish or Garra Rufa, who have a fondness for dead skin.

The toothless fish nibble away any dead skin on the foot, leaving them silky smooth.

As the fish do not have any teeth, the procedure is painless, but does tickle.

A treatment can last anywhere between 15-30 minutes depending on the person's foot and most finish with a foot massage and nail trimming.

The procedure has long been accepted throughout Asia but is breaking new ground in the US.

It has become popular Washington DC where it is being offered at a Northern Virginia spa.

Men and women are buying into the craze.
