Body Aesthetics & Functional Medicine in Penang | CANVAS
Build muscle, reduce fat, manage weight — medically. From EMSCULPT NEO and EMBODY to BTL EXION fat melting, fat-dissolving injectables, GLP-1 and peptide therapies, our physicians at Gurney Walk, George Town run body transformation as a supervised medical programme.
What is Body Aesthetics & Functional Medicine at CANVAS?
Body change has two honest levers: what you build and what you reduce. At CANVAS Medical Clinic in George Town, Penang, both are pulled medically. EMSCULPT NEO combines high-intensity focused electromagnetic muscle stimulation with radiofrequency — building muscle and reducing fat in the same session — while EMBODY targets muscle toning and BTL EXION applies radiofrequency and ultrasound for non-invasive fat melting. Localised pockets can be treated further with physician-administered fat-dissolving injectables.
Underneath the contouring sits functional medicine: physician-prescribed GLP-1 therapies, peptide protocols and structured obesity management for patients whose goals are metabolic, not just aesthetic. Everything is assessment-first — body composition, history, blood work where indicated — because a physique built on a medical foundation is the one that lasts.
How it works
- Assessment first. Body composition, goals, history — and blood work where indicated. Contouring, metabolic therapy or both: the plan follows the assessment.
- Build. EMSCULPT NEO and EMBODY deliver supramaximal muscle contractions over a short course of sessions — abdomen, buttocks, arms, thighs or calves.
- Reduce. BTL EXION fat melting and physician-administered fat-dissolving injectables address stubborn pockets that training and diet leave behind.
- Manage & maintain. Where weight itself is the goal, GLP-1 and peptide therapies run under prescription with scheduled physician reviews — not a subscription, a treatment.
The programme
Muscle and fat, one session
EMSCULPT NEO's combined HIFEM and RF is clinically studied to build muscle and reduce fat simultaneously.
No downtime contouring
Energy-based sessions fit inside a lunch break — no surgery, no recovery window.
Targets what exercise can't
Supramaximal contractions and localised fat treatment reach where training plateaus.
Medical weight management
GLP-1 and peptide therapy prescribed, dosed and monitored by physicians — not dispensed.
Honest patient selection
We tell you what contouring can and cannot do for your starting point — before you pay.
One integrated programme
Contouring, metabolic therapy and wellness protocols coordinated under one clinical roof.
Who it's for
This programme may be suitable if you:
- Train consistently but have stubborn fat or a muscle plateau
- Want visible abdominal, glute or arm definition without surgery
- Are considering GLP-1 therapy and want it properly prescribed and monitored
- Need structured, medical support for weight or obesity management
- Have localised fat pockets suited to melting or injectable lipolysis
- Post-natal or post-weight-loss and want physician-guided body restoration
Energy-based contouring is not suitable with certain implants or during pregnancy, and GLP-1 and peptide therapies are prescription treatments with medical eligibility criteria — all confirmed at assessment.
Contouring vs weight management — which do you need?
They solve different problems. Contouring — EMSCULPT NEO, EMBODY, EXION, injectables — reshapes: it builds muscle and removes localised fat on a body already near its healthy weight. Weight management — GLP-1 therapy, peptides, structured obesity care — changes the number itself, metabolically and under prescription.
Many patients need a sequence, not a choice: metabolic treatment first, contouring second, once there is a shape worth refining. The assessment tells us the order — and our physicians will be straight with you about which lever your goals actually require.
