Elevating the medical spa

It’s an exciting time for renowned Swiss medical clinic Clinique La Prairie, as the October 1 opening of its revamped and expanded spa approaches. Professional Spa & Wellness are among the first to visit

Picturesquely located on the shores of Lake Geneva, luxury Swiss medical clinic Clinique La Prairie has built an international reputation as an innovative centre for anti-ageing since it was first established in 1931. While the services offered have long since expanded beyond the cellular therapy practice of injecting lamb foetus cells that first made the clinic famous, guests form around the world still arrive weekly at Clinique La Prairie for its vast range of medically focused programmes – ranging from the age-combatting revitalisation programme and the weight management programme to beauty and fitness agendas – and its in-house medical expertise.

The Clinique La Prairie medical centre offers extensive medical services and specialities, from general and internal medicine and general, plastic, aesthetic and ENT (ear, nose and throat) surgery to neurology, cardiology, dermatology and rheumatology – to name just a few. The medical centre and the spa have been interlinked since the spa first opened in 2005, with all programmes including both a medical check-up and spa treatments. It was, however, decided at the beginning of the year that the time had come to integrate the two components of the business more thoroughly, with a particular focus on a closer relationship between the spa and the dermatology department and the centre for aesthetic medicine and surgery.
