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.
Testimonials
of our curists
In a leafy environment, Fernando, a curist, has been the victim of a serious accident. He comes to treat 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 go down when... Boom! It exploded. A gas leak.
And after that, I came in January 1987; it was 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.
The showers and massages are very compatible with the burns, that's for sure.
The water makes you feel much more supple, I can move well.
[Fernando speaks while we see him practising Adapted Physical Activity and Thierry is seen drinking thermal water from La Roche-Posay].
"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."
