Eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly are great ways to keep fit, but sometimes, even these aren’t enough to eliminate stubborn fat around your tummy, arms and thighs.

The Divine Slim treatment at Slim Couture, an award-winning local brand, can help you achieve a more desirable body shape safely and effectively. With consultation and support from physician Colin Chan Peng Chong, a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner with 24 years of experience in internal medicine and acupuncture, the treatment employs the best TCM approaches to rebalance your body from within and stimulate your metabolism to burn fat more effectively.

The treatment includes an acupressure massage on your acupoints that aims to improve your qi or energy flow, target fatigue, balance your yin and yang, and reduce muscle tension. The magnetic therapy, on the other hand, helps boost your blood circulation and stimulates metabolism, while negative pressure cupping is used to invigorate your body and restore a youthful appearance.
