Clinique La Prairie, Pioneering Longevity, from Switzerland to Doha

We may not be able to halt the march of time, but what if we could slow its steps? To decelerate the ageing process and prevent its ill effects on our bodies and minds by utilising modern science and adopting a holistic approach to medicine.

That’s just one of the questions posed – and subsequently answered – by the industry-leading team of medics at Clinique La Prairie, the world renowned medical and wellness clinic on the shores of Switzerland’s Lake Laman.

Founded in 1931 by celebrated Swiss surgeon, Professor Niehans, who specialised in regenerative medicine, Clinique La Prairie’s long history of innovation and ongoing scientific research has propelled it to forefront of preventative medicine. At the core of its approach are four key pillars. Medical Care, which relates to an individually-tailored methodology formed from a comprehensive medical assessment and doctor consultation –often involving state-of-the-art genetics testing; Nutrition, for which a dedicated team of dieticians devise bespoke, antiinflammatory meal plans and educate on the importance of a balanced diet; Wellbeing, understanding how taking time to relax and recharge is vital to the condition of our cells; and Movement, applying expert knowledge to help reverse age-related muscle loss and improve cognitive and mental abilities.

These pillars are manifest in the clinic’s extensive range of longevity programmes, of which Revitalisation is the flagship. Delivered over the course of seven days, central to this programme is cell therapy, administered via the famed CLP Extract, a powerful formula that, essentially, reactivates dormant cells in adults (those over the age of 35) so that they perform like younger cells, thus curbing the ageing process. This revitalising science is bookended by DNA testing, complete screenings, innovative treatments which span the clinic’s pillars, and a nutrigenomic course of plant-based supplements and super-antioxidant active. Another popular programme is the 7-day Master Detox. It’s underpinned by advanced research, genetic testing, plus cellular and nutritional sciences so that it can be specifically tailored to the exact DNA and health profile of each patient, ultimately creating a bespoke and highly advanced cleansing programme rooted in the clinic’s natural detoxification method.

State-of-the-art location in Doha While Switzerland remains the homeland of Clinique La Prairie, the launch of its Longevity Hubs in global destinations enables patrons to access the clinic’s integrative approach to longevity more readily. In March, Doha, Qatar, became the third city to home a Longevity Hub, following openings in Madrid and Bangkok. Based at St. Regis Marsa Arabia Island, the Pearl, Doha’s Longevity Hub is beautifully designed over 1,800 square metres, including a luminous fitness area to maximize health, performance and physical appearance, so you can always be the best version of yourself. Clinique La Prairie’s expert protocol starts with a Longevity Index assessment, to understand your needs and select the right treatments and coaching that amplify each other to help you look, feel and live well. These include cryotherapy, far-infrared lights dome, IV-drips, movement performance lab, beauty boosts, spa treatments, and more. cliniquelaprairie.com
