We all love magnesium!
Doctor Marie Perez Siscar, owner of the complex and president of the French national union of thalassotherapy, will convince you of the benefits of this active by offering ultra-personalised, energising treatments.
The “Algo Massage” treatment combines seawater, seaweed, mud and transcutaneous liquid magnesium that is applied all over the body, from head to toe. It includes gentle massage, smoothing, gliding pressure and kneading. This relaxing, mineral-boosting treatment (with seaweed, mud and magnesium) exfoliates the skin thanks to fine particles of seaweed that are massaged onto the body, and is exclusively available in this centre, one of the only Thalasso centres to still use seaweed and mud in the form of powders mixed with seawater.
Their micronised form allows the actives to be instantly released and is the best possible preparation for cutaneous absorption. This allows them to make a perfectly balanced blend to provide as many trace elements, vitamins and minerals as possible during this new treatment. This massage also has stress-busting effects, promoting relaxation for the mind and body. The marine magnesium oil efficiently penetrates the skin and goes to the areas of the body that are deficient and painful. This idea of isolating magnesium chloride in seawater was developed by Doctor Marie Perez Siscar in collaboration with Thalion laboratories. “This innovation is inherent to the philosophy of the two establishments, and has become our best seller,” she explains.
“Our credo is to find solutions that efficiently use seawater and its elements to prevent and have a positive effect on many of the body’s issues: stress and anxiety, sleep issues, joint and muscle pain, detox and aging prevention. When combined with our expertise, this 100% natural magnesium oil is astonishing.”

Head Spa Marin: total relaxation
It has been proven that when stress and tension take over, your head is the first meridian you need to address. When you indulge in the now-famous Head Spa Marin treatment, you discover a Japanese cranial massage blended with marine actives that are specifically provided by the products in the Thalion range. First, the scalp is moistened and then gently exfoliated to eliminate dead skin cells and excess sebum and to stimulate the blood circulation. The combination of three seaweeds in this exfoliating product strengthen the elasticity and hydration in the upper three layers of the epidermis and help with cell regeneration. A hair mask containing kaolin, aloe vera gel and an oily extract of rock samphire is then applied, boosting the tissues’ tone and suppleness. A conditioning balm containing avocado, sunflower oil, karite butter and seaweed is applied to round off the treatment.
“The aim is to treat the head to a real Thalasso treatment and scalp exfoliation, just like we do for the body. This is a full, 45-minute revitalisation treatment with marine extracts and seawater. It is also an opportunity to relax and enjoy some pampering. We now have clients who come to see us especially for this treatment,” says Doctor Marie Perez Siscar. You’ll love it!
