CNA published a promotional piece about Emsculpt Neo after childbirth
Channel NewsAsia published a feature on the non-invasive Emsculpt Neo procedure, which Zion Aesthetic Clinic offers as a complement to postpartum abdominal muscle recovery and the correction of localized fat deposits. The clinic’s founder, Dr. Ng Hong Yi, described a patient who, after giving birth, noticed a protrusion in her abdominal area and sagging skin that did not go away despite regular exercise.
The article notes that during the third trimester of pregnancy, increased pressure can stretch and weaken the abdominal muscles. According to data cited in the publication, approximately 45% of women may experience some degree of abdominal muscle laxity six months after childbirth, and 33% may still have it one year later.
As described in the promotional material, Emsculpt Neo combines high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM+) with synchronized radiofrequency energy (Sync RF). The manufacturer claims that the device has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its intended use, which combines muscle toning and fat reduction.

The manufacturer also cites a study in which, after three months, participants reported an approximately 25% increase in abdominal muscle thickness, an approximately 30% reduction in subcutaneous fat, and an average reduction in waist circumference of 5.9 cm. Dr. Ng Hong Yi noted that a single session lasts about 30 minutes, and he typically recommends up to six treatments for patients.
According to him, the method can complement weight management for people with a body mass index of up to 35, but it does not replace a balanced diet and regular physical activity. To restore core muscles after childbirth, the doctor recommends, in particular, Pilates, yoga, exercises with resistance bands, and workouts on exercise machines or with free weights. As noted in the article, the choice of procedures should depend on a medical evaluation and the individual’s specific needs.
