Payot Spa Treatments:
An Approach, Know-How and Cosmetic Innovation


Drawing from the past to create the treatments of the future

The Payot laboratories have invented a new exclusive spa treatment concept based on the teachings of Doctor Nadia Payot.

The new “SPA Attitude” will be developed within the Payot Institute as well in over 40 countries. These spa treatments are both cosmetic and holistic. Based on nature, it infuses essential elements to the body in order to replenish and remineralize it.

A Future Established in the Past

Doctor Nadia Payot, beauty philosopher, was a step ahead in the current “medical spa” trend. She used her skills as a doctor to further the beauty and well-being of women and to balance the mind, body and soul. After many years of research, she created high-tech biological products and application techniques.

At the forefront of women's needs since 1950, Payot has always been aware of the importance of body treatments and the benefits of massage. Even during early times, her salon offered light baths to fight cellulite and heat baths with relaxing and rejuvenating ionized mist.

Located at 10, rue de Castiglione, the Payot Institute has been renowned as a temple of beauty and dialogue since 1927. It is a haven of peace where every client is carefully treated by a specialist, leaving the mind, body and soul in perfect harmony.

The Payot Institute now pursues this quest of well-being, health and beauty.

In 2005, Payot revolutionizes the Treatment spirit with: Ressource Minérale.

Semi-precious stones
