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.

Duration & schedule

• Medical supervision throughout the treatment: the spa physician will draw up a personalised treatment plan outlining the prescribed therapies

Dermatology-specific treatments

Daily treatments included in the prescribed programme, as determined by the spa physician:

• Filiform shower: performed by the spa physician, this targeted jet treatment restructures the skin at depth, relieves itching and restores suppleness.

• General bath: with soothing, drying and healing properties, the bath activates cutaneous circulation through the warmth of the water. It also provides muscle relaxation and relief, particularly for individuals with joint stiffness.

• General spray: finely sprayed thermal water helps to decongest and soothe the skin.

• Thermal water drinking cure: by benefiting internally from the anti-inflammatory properties of the thermal water, this treatment helps revitalise the body from within.

Complementary treatments prescribed by the physician

• Scalp shower: a gentle flow of thermal water over the scalp, soothing and promoting skin healing.

• Local bath: applied to the hands and/or legs, this treatment enhances the decongestant, anti-itching and relaxing effects of the thermal water.

• Facial spray: a fine mist of thermal water applied to the face.

• Scar massage: underwater massage and/or rehabilitation treatments carried out by physiotherapists outside the thermal care circuit, following prior medical prescription.
