Direct answer
What happens the first time?
Before treatment you discuss health, heat sensitivity, skin and privacy. The appointment then usually moves through heat and steam, washing, exfoliation and finishing care. Exact steps depend on the treatment booked.
You can always ask what happens next, which area is being treated and what coverage is possible. Professional treatment means clear consent and the option to skip a step.

Experience from the private hammam room
First-time visitors mainly ask about privacy, clothing and exactly which areas are touched. We therefore explain every next step and agree treatment areas beforehand. The individual room lets us adjust heat, exfoliation and pace immediately.
Stronger exfoliation is not automatically better. Recently shaved, sensitive or irritated skin is treated more gently or skipped. Heat is reduced or stopped as soon as someone feels dizzy or uncomfortable.
Process
From arrival to departure
- Arrive on time and discuss health, skin and comfort.
- Change according to the instructions provided.
- The practitioner explains heat, washing, exfoliation and care step by step.
- Cool down, dry off and dress calmly afterwards.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What should I wear?
Ask what fits your booked treatment. Minimal coverage may be possible; long swimwear can block treatment areas.
What should I bring?
Ask what is provided. Clean clothes and your usual mild aftercare products can be useful.
What if I dislike the heat?
Say so immediately. Heat and duration must be adjusted or treatment stopped.
Is my entire body exfoliated?
Only agreed treatment areas. Discuss beforehand what will and will not be treated.
