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 this leafy environment, we meet Thierry, a curist, who has been suffering from psoriasis since the death of his grandmother].
[Thierry speaks as he is seen receiving several treatments.]
"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, goes and comes back all the time.
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.
The filiform shower is good and it feels exactly the same as when I scratch myself. It relieves and soothes. At the moment, there is less itching."
