THE ORIGIN
OF LA PRAIRIE

A grandson of Emperor Frederick III of Germany, Doctor Paul Niehans was born in Bern in 1882. The son of a surgeon, Dr Niehans followed in his father’s footsteps, studying medicine.
As a field doctor in World War I, he gained extensive clinical experience.
By 1931 he had become a well-known expert in rejuvenation and was working as the head doctor at Clinique La Prairie in Montreux.
That year, he treated a woman who experts agreed would not survive her illness. Convinced that cellular replacement would be beneficial, he administered the groundbreaking treatment.
She recovered and lived a full life, brimming with vitality, for another 40 years. Encouraged by the success of this treatment, Dr Niehans returned to Clinique La Prairie, where he began his work administering the innovative Cellular Therapy to his clients.
