“…In dermatology, thermal waters are chosen for different indications according to salts concentration [ 13 , 29 ]. For example, thermal water used in cosmetics is hypertonic [ 30 ]. The high concentration of minerals is easily assimilated by the skin improving its physiological functions.…”

The benefits of thermal water in different diseases have been known since ancient times. Over the past decades, a re-assessment of the use of mineral water for the treatment of several pathologic conditions has taken place around the world. Today, water therapy is being practiced in many countries that have a variety of mineral springs considerably different in their hydrogeologic origin, temperature, and chemical composition. Thermal water and balneotherapy offer several advantages: this approach needs no chemicals or potentially harmful drugs; there are almost no side effects during and after treatment, and there is a low risk to the patient’s general health and well-being. However, it is difficult to evaluate the efficacy of this therapeutic approach in clinical practice due to the complexity of molecular mechanisms underlying its efficacy. Here we review the current knowledge of the chemical, immunological, and microbiological basis for therapeutic effects of thermal water with a specific focus on chronic inflammatory skin diseases. We also describe recent evidence of the major dermatologic diseases that are frequently treated by balneotherapy with a remarkable rate of success. Moreover, we discuss the potential role of balneotherapy either alone or as a complement to conventional medical treatments.

“…Thermal spring water (TSW) has been used around the world for centuries to help with skin conditions, as well as overall wellbeing. 1,2 In the clinical setting, it has been used for treating dermatitis, 3 sensitive skin 4 and off-setting side effects of treatments such as photodynamic therapy 5 and laser resurfacing and peel procedures. 6,7 While the components of TSW have been identified, the associated mechanisms by which they work on the skin are unknown, mainly due to the complex nature of the underlying mechanisms.…”

The mineral content of thermal spring water (TSW) applied to the skin surface can directly influence the skin barrier. Indeed, our previous study showed that Avène TSW (ATSW), a low mineral content thermal spring water, protects the stratum corneum from dehydration compared to a mineral‐rich TSW (MR‐TSW) and maintains skin surface ultrastructure. While many TSWs have been recognized to have beneficial effects on skin, little is known about their localized and specific effects on skin barrier biomechanics at the nanometric scale. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of ATSW with a reference, MR‐TSW, on the biomechanical barrier properties of the skin under homeostasis conditions using atomic force microscopy (AFM). AFM was used to obtain a precise nanomechanical mapping of the skin surface after three applications of both TSW. This provides specific information on the skin topographical profile and elasticity. The topographic profile of skin samples showed a specific compaction of the skin layers after application of MR‐TSW, characterized by an increase of the total number of external skin layers, compared to non‐treated samples. By contrast, ATSW did not modify the skin topographic profile. High‐resolution force/volume acquisitions to capture the elastic modulus showed that it was directly correlated with skin rigidity. The elastic modulus strongly and significantly increased after MR‐TSW application compared to non‐treated skin. By contrast, applications of ATSW did not increase elastic modulus. These data demonstrate that applications of MR‐TSW significantly modified skin barrier properties by increasing skin surface layer compaction and skin rigidity. By contrast, ATSW did not modify the topographical profile of skin explants nor induce mechanical stress at the level of the stratum corneum, indicating it does not disrupt the biophysical properties linked to skin surface integrity.

These mechanisms determine their therapeutic effect in atopic dermatitis, urticaria, eczema, and psoriasis [10].…”
