Dermatology Thermal Spa Treatments

Thermal spa therapy for the skin provides natural relief from eczema, psoriasis, scleroderma, scarring and pruritus. Since the discovery of the thermal spring, thousands of spa guests have travelled to the Saint-Gervais Mont Blanc Thermal Baths to alleviate their skin conditions. Rich in minerals, our thermal water soothes inflammation, promotes healing and delivers long-lasting improvement in skin comfort.

Skin conditions

The Saint-Gervais thermal spa offers dermatological treatments tailored to a wide range of skin conditions, including:

• Eczema

• Psoriasis

• Scleroderma (face and legs)

• Post-cancer skin care

• Other chronic dermatological disorders

Scars

Scars may result from:

• Burns

• Trauma

• Animal bites

• Surgical procedures

• Ionising radiation treatments

We treat scars of all origins that present hypertrophy, inflammation or itching.

Dermatological spa therapy is also effective in treating scars resulting from amputation.

From what age can skin spa therapy be undertaken?

At Saint-Gervais, dermatological spa treatment is available from as early as 3 months of age.

Daily treatments included in the prescribed course of thermal therapy, as determined by the spa physician:

• Filiform shower: administered by the spa physician, this treatment deeply restores the skin, soothes itching, and improves suppleness.
• General bath: this bath has soothing, drying, and healing properties. The warmth of the water stimulates cutaneous circulation, producing a relaxing and muscle-loosening effect, particularly beneficial for those with stiff joints.
• Full-body spray: finely misted, the thermal water helps to decongest the skin.
• Scalp shower: a gentle flow of thermal water over the scalp; its properties soothe and promote skin healing.
• Drinking cure: by taking the thermal water internally, you benefit from its anti-inflammatory properties and help revitalise the body.

Additional treatments available on medical prescription:

• Local bath: applied to the hands and/or legs, this treatment enhances the decongesting, anti-itching, and relaxing effects of the thermal water.
• Facial spray: a fine mist of thermal water is applied to the face.

Physiotherapy treatments are not included in the thermal spa treatment programme and may only be carried out upon medical prescription. During the initial consultation, the spa physician may issue such a prescription, depending on your state of health and the therapeutic indication of your course of treatment.

• Physiotherapy treatments: underwater massage, rehabilitation and reconditioning therapies, and other treatments; further information is available from the medical reception desk.
