If there is ever one thing that always keeps us on our toes and always far from contentment, it’s our weight.
We want to do the crime of succumbing to our favorite food and desserts, but none of us really want to do the time it takes to shake the extra baggage off.
Of all the hours spent sweating it out in the gym and trying out various forms of diets, are you getting that visible result you so clearly yearn for?
If you’re not, like many out there, allow the good doctor to intervene.

Meet Dr Low
‘‘Weight loss is, and will always remain one of the most sought after aesthetic enhancements by clients who come through our door,’’ explains Dr. Low Chai Ling, founder and Medical Director of SW1 Clinic, one of Singapore’s biggest aesthetic establishments.
She continues to add that she is always scouring the market to source for the latest and best weight-busting procedures to bring into the clinic, to cope with rising client demand.

Onda Body Magic
“One of our most well-received weight loss treatments here is the Onda Body Magic. It is by no means a new procedure, but it’s been the go-to for many who suffer from cellulite in unwanted areas of their body, without going under the knife.’’
Dr Low further explains that the Onda Body Magic is driven by the innovative Coolwaves technology, using electromagnetic energy to heat up fatty deposits and dissolving them in a way that preserves the tightness of the skin, allowing for fat loss while retaining tautness of the skin.
I later learned that this treatment has even been voted as the Best Cellulite Buster by Harper’s Bazaar magazine last year!

The Skinny Jab
“This is our latest offering in our spectrum of weight busting treatments, and it’s not even done in-house! This is a DIY injectable and regulates your appetite and food cravings, that you can perform on your own schedule.”
The ‘ DIY’ aspect of this Skinny Jab really piqued my curiosity, as I further probed Dr Low on how the jab works and its contents.
The Skinny Jab comes in the form of a portable injectable pen, to be administered into the arm, abdomen, or thigh, depending on personal preference. What this pen contains is a replica of a natural hormone our body produces, known as Glucagon-Like-Peptide (GLP-1).
This hormone is responsible for regulating appetite and suppressing hunger pangs. With an added dose of GLP-1 in for of the Skinny Jab, our greatest hurdle when it comes to weight loss which is hunger and food cravings can also be easily overcome.
