Thermal cares
The thermal treatments are exclusively made with La Roche-Posay water. They are given daily in the thermal baths and have 4 main parts: the filiform shower, the bath, the massage under thermal water and the thermal spray. Oral care, drink or rehydrating treatments can be added as required.
Filiform shower
Provided daily by the thermal doctor, it provides a deep massage of the dermis and a softening of the epidermis. It allows a delicate cleansing, and/or a stripping and anti-pruritic action.
Local or general baths
The bath has a relaxing, moisturizing and emollient action. When it is air-gaseous (with compressed air bubbles) it reduces itching.
Underwater thermal massage
The thermal doctor will prescribe 9 or 18 underwater massages performed by a physiotherapist, depending on your needs. The objective is to improve your scars, your mobility and your body drainage. SCAR MASSAGE BY SUCTION CUP, The DermaMouv Thermal® designed by our team of physiotherapists may be used. This innovative and registered technique integrates the protocol of dermatological massage under a thermal water ramp, silicone suction cups adapting perfectly to the stiffest and most adherent scars.
Local shower
Local shower (facial or perineal). A mist of thermal water is delicately deposited on the epidermis and generates a soothing, emollient and healing action on the face and the ocular, nasal, oral or perineal mucous membranes.
General shower
Shower cabins diffuse thermal water filtered by a sieve over the whole body. The general spray allows a soothing and healing action on the skin.
Oral care
Particularly recommended in case of localized manifestations of dermatosis or chronic gingivitis problems (double orientation to be specified on your registration).
The gingival shower cleans and irrigates the gums.
The mouth spray allows a moisturizing mist of the entire oral and pharyngeal sphere.
Drink cure
A particularly diuretic and detoxifying light water. Essential supplement for its selenium intake and its regulatory effect on the immune system.
Complementary moisturizing care
These unsupported complementary treatments will soothe and rehydrate the skin. (Registration at the thermal reception only).
The dermatological enveloping: for complete rehydration of the body.
The soothing mask: for complete rehydration of the face.

[The video opens with soft piano music.
We discover aerial views of the town of La Roche-Posay and the surrounding nature, then the title of the video appears: the LA ROCHE-POSAY dermatological cure]
Map of France showing the location of La Roche-Posay.
[Then, in a green environment, appears Fernando, a curist, who has been the victim of a serious accident. He has come to treat the after-effects of his burns. We also see shots of massages given by a physiotherapist at the spa].
[Fernando speaks]
"I was working in a foundry in Orleans. I was starting to descend when it...Boom! It exploded. A gas leak."
[In the same leafy environment, we discover Thierry, a curist, who has been suffering from psoriasis since the death of his grandmother].
[Thierry speaks]
"I have had psoriasis for 35 years. Following the death of my grandmother, suddenly, I started scratching, a lot of plaques and all that. It's up and down, comes and goes over and over again."
[Fernando speaks]
"And then I came in January 1987, my first treatment here. I arrived here in a wheelchair, I could hardly walk, hardly speak. I had to learn everything.
But after that, with each treatment, things got better and better.
[Thierry speaks]
"I did a lot of puvatherapy which works very well.
But the last one didn't work. So my dermatologist and doctor urged me to try a thermal cure."
[Fernando speaks]
"Showers and massages are very compatible with burns, that's for sure.
The water makes you feel much more supple, I can move well.
[We meet Vanessa, the Centre's physiotherapist, in her working environment, who speaks. There are alternating shots of different massage techniques].
"Burn victims are treated specifically to make the skin more supple. We have techniques such as palpating and rolling, which restore the skin's elasticity.
[Thierry speaks as we see him being given several treatments]
"The filiform shower is good and it gives me exactly the same sensation as when I scratch myself. It relieves, it soothes. At the moment there is less itching."
[Fernando speaks as he is seen practising Adapted Physical Activity and Thierry is seen drinking La Roche-Posay thermal water].
"It's the anniversary of my accident today, it's been 32 years.
I am almost 65 and everybody tells me that I am 48, 50, not more.
So I'm delighted. I'm pleased, but I think that it's the treatments at the spa, the water at the spa, that do me a lot of good.
[The video ends with a text stating:
'Repair and replenish : take care of your skin and of yourself, in La Roche-Posay'.
This thermal cure is covered by the Social security - consult your doctor].
