Daring, bold and audacious, Dr Ong Jin Khang from The Retreat Clinic wants you to become the best version of yourself.

THE ULTIMATE GOAL

With this issue covering the theme of “adventure”, we can’t help but ask Dr Ong Jin Khang the question: how are adventure and non-invasive, aesthetic treatments offered at The Retreat Clinic related? “Coming to The Retreat Clinic for treatments is akin to skydiving,” Dr Ong replies, and continues to expound, “You put your faith in the guy doing the tandem with you, trusting that he is a professional, well trained and has your interest at heart. It’s the same when it comes to aesthetic treatments. You have to trust your doctor and that’s important.

“By walking into The Retreat Clinic, it becomes my responsibility on how good you will look walking out. I do my best to explain the steps required in each procedure but for a patient who is new to aesthetics, it can be quite a deep dive into the unknown and daunting for some,” he says. And the treatments are ultra-cool. For instance, did you know that you can freeze off fat cells for good? And did you know that you can build muscles by contracting your abs 20,000 times in just 30 minutes while lying down?

In 2013, Dr Ong established The Retreat Clinic to fulfill his indomitable passion and interest in aesthetics, and to eventually become skilled in every possible aesthetic procedure. As time passed by, he came to the realization that he should focus on just some of them. “I prefer to be highly skilled in a few procedures, combining them together to bring the best results to my patients,” he attests. Armed with prolonged and intense experience through practice and education, they now take pride in their signature combo treatments that help improve results within a shorter time frame.
