Reasons for undergoing a thermal skincare at Avène

The Avène Hydrotherapy Center welcomes patients from all over the world suffering from skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis and eczema, psoriasis, ichthyosis, chronic pruritus and prurigos, uncomfortable scars, the after-effects of burns, cutaneous-mucous lichens, problems with the oral mucous membranes, scalp conditions, or even following oncological skincares. This list is not exhaustive and other conditions may be taken care of following consultation between your doctor and the thermal doctor. 

Personalised skincares

Aware that every condition is unique, upon your arrival, a thermal doctor will establish a personalised treatment programme for your skincare stay (the stays can be 1, 2 or 3 weeks long).

This includes basic thermal water treatments: baths, general showers and sprays, as well as skincare drinks. Depending on the needs of your skin, complementary thermal spring water skincares can be offered such as filiform showers, or even thermal spring water compresses, underwater massage, local sprays, etc. and also specific treatments such as wraps or hydrating body sculpting skincares, hydrating face treatments and full scalp skincares.

Tailored support

Skincares at Avène are often a moment of tranquillity in which you can reconnect with life’s sweetest aspects.

That’s why we offer you the opportunity to attend workshops and conferences to inform you and help you better cope with your condition every day. This allows you to adopt the right preventive steps to prolong the beneficial effects of the thermal skincare, prevent flare-ups, or simply reduce anxiety and stress. Take advantage of these moments, which are also conducive to discussion and sharing.

Avène Hydrotherapy Center: the kingdom of children

At Avène, we know that chronic childhood dermatological conditions such as atopic dermatitis and eczema don’t just have a significant impact on the daily life of children, they also affect their families.

Thermal skincares at Avène can be seen as an opportunity to reconnect with your child, in a new, unique and soothing environment. Here, one in every four spa guests is a child and the thermal baths even welcome toddlers from 3 months old! As every condition is unique, your child will be treated as soon as they arrive with a personalised care programme, recommended by a doctor at the centre. Thanks to specific workshops, you will accompany your child and take advantage of your stay to learn together to better cope with the condition every day.
