Treatment of Scars and Burns

Benefits

Once in contact with the thermal spring water, itching is significantly reduced for the majority of the spa guests. After a few days, the inflammation and size of the scars reduce, the skin appears softer. The healing process is stimulated thanks to the minerals present in the Saint-Gervais thermal spring water.

In addition to the thermal treatment, personalised healing massages are carried out by the physiotherapy team at Les Thermes qualified in treating burns. Les Thermes de Saint-Gervais specialises in treating scars with over 60 years of experience in burns and amputations.

The treatment will allow you to chat with qualified professionals as well as spa guests from all backgrounds. A great way of putting an end to the isolation associated with the condition and sharing your experiences and difficulties in everyday life. The most important part is, without a doubt, the quality of the water at Les Thermes de Saint-Gervais. Click here to learn more about the virtues and benefits of this miraculous water!
