Let’s look at the science behind micro-bubbles

A bath in micro-bubbles (tiny bubbles, smaller than a strand of human hair) is the most scientifically advanced and comprehensive gentle and deep cleanse of a dog’s skin and coat. It is not to be confused with Hydrobath, Jacuzzi or the bicarbonate tablets inside a shower head.

Micro-bubbles are so tiny they penetrate the pores of the skin, enter into the follicles and the sebaceous glands and remove the bacteria without soap, shampoo, chemicals or additives – this is purely water saturated with Oxygen (this all happens through the science of negative ions attracting positively charged bacteria – a bit like the air you breathe if you’re in a forest standing next to a waterfall compared to the air you breathe when you’re in the Trafalgar Square roundabout during rush hour – but multiplied a million times…).

A micro-bubbles treatment will require 15 minutes extra to your normal treatment and cost £10-15 on top. It is ideal as preventative care and is known rapidly to treat and heal skin conditions including demodex (mites), recurring ear infection, bald patches (known to rejuvenate hair growth), hot-spots, dryness, rash, redness, irritation.

The use of micro-bubbles for human use in the treatment of excema, psoriasis, hair-loss, improved circulation, a variety of dermatological conditions and more, as well as general well-being, is well-established. There is even a Japanese patent application for the use of micro-bubbles in the treatment of male pattern baldness. Our system at Just Barking is similar to this one – so any requests from balding men for immersive micro-bubbles will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
