Also the name of a
spa in
Switzerland featuring
live cell therapy, a procedure whereby
fetal cells taken from
sheep and fertile
eggs are injected into those seeking to prolong or regain their
youth. While this isn't
FDA-approved, and fraught with potential danger, it's fairly popular among a certain set with more
money than sense, and works, at least psychosomatically.
In the last 20 years or so, La Prairie, finding their live-cell business on the wane, has started a line of cosmetics as well, with the flagship compound an encapsulated moisturizer called "Skin Caviar".
