Spa treatment for
atopic dermatitis (eczema)

Atopic dermatitis, commonly called eczema, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that makes the skin dry, itchy, red and, over time, thickened (lichenified). It often begins in childhood and tends to run in families alongside asthma and hay fever.

Eczema follows a relapsing course, with flare-ups of intense itching and inflammation between calmer periods. The skin barrier is impaired, so the skin loses moisture easily and is more prone to irritation and infection.

Ensana's dermatological spa programmes use gentle mineral salt-water and sulphur balneotherapy to soothe itching, reduce inflammation and support the skin barrier, all under medical supervision.

Regular therapeutic bathing hydrates and calms the skin, while a supervised routine helps you manage triggers and maintain the improvement between flares. A two- to three-week course aims to settle the skin and extend the calmer periods.
