A pot belly literally gets in your way, making you feel sluggish and constricting your body movements. It is also indicative of lack of exercise, being overweight, consuming an unhealthy diet and a whole list of other health issues linked to cholesterol, organ function and stress.
Losing your belly is often the hardest to achieve even if you embark on a strict weight loss regimen consisting of a strict diet and intense exercise.
“A big part of what I do is weight loss management as weight itself is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and metabolic syndrome,” said Dr Nadzri Mokhtar, an anti-ageing and functional medicine practitioner.
Nadzri is also the founder of the state-of-the-art Apollo Men’s Wellness Centre located in Kuala Lumpur.

He said losing weight and ridding oneself of an overhanging belly is the single, most achievable and worthwhile endeavour a man can commit to. However, it may require assistance and guidance to do it safely and effectively.
“Diet, nutrition, hormone optimisation, and medications in the form of Ozempic and Saxenda can achieve great results but to enhance and synergise with the above strategies, we at Apollo offer Emsculpt Neo for fast and sure results,” he said.
Sculpting and slimming
Emsculpt Neo is a clinically-approved, breakthrough technology in which simultaneous radiofrequency (RF) energy is combined with high intensity frequency electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy.
Clinical studies have proven that this treatment can reduce body fat by 30% and increase muscle mass by 25% in the abdominal area.
“My philosophy is to give my patients the best results using the best in class of whatever available methods are out there,” Nadzri said.
“With over seven clinical multi-centre trials and 30 published scientific papers, Emsculpt Neo gives me the confidence to do just that,” he added.
The treatment consists of once-weekly 30-minute sessions over six weeks. It is non-invasive, has no downtime and is not painful.
The added benefit is that Emsculpt Neo increases one’s core strength.

Benefits of Emsculpt Neo
Besides its obvious aesthetic appeal, once a patient has completed the Emsculpt Neo treatment, he will be able to work-out better, and have greater core strength and muscle mass.
For senior men, a stronger and leaner belly adds stability and mobility, lessening the chances of falling and hurting oneself.
“Falls are the leading cause of morbidity in those 70 years old and above, and it could lead to hip fractures and immobility, as well as blood clots and in some extreme cases, even fatalities,” he said.
How it works
Explaining in greater detail how the Emsculpt Neo works, Nadzri said the 30-minute treatment begins by first breaking down fat deposits in the treated area.
“The temperature in your fat cells reaches levels that cause their permanent damage. And all this happens in just the first four minutes,” he said.
Next, muscle temperature is raised by several degrees, similar to what any warm-up activity can achieve before a workout.
“Muscles in the treated area are contracted at intensities that are not achievable during routine exercise. Fat cells are slowly removed from the body and the strained muscle fibres then initiate a growth process, eliminating fat and building muscle,” he explained.
Those interested to lose their belly fat for good, and gain great core strength, are advised to make an appointment with Nadzri at Apollo for a thorough health assessment before embarking on the Emsculpt Neo treatment.
