Linda Chung Shines as EMFACE™ Endorser and Award Presenter


At the Gala, Linda Chung, BTL Hong Kong Ambassador and EMFACE™ endorser, captivated the audience with her radiant presence. Having visited Phu Quoc before and expressing how much she enjoyed the destination, Linda shared her happiness at returning for the first time for work, thanking BTL for bringing her to such a wonderful Gala. She shared her personal journey with EMFACE™, EXION™, and EMFUSION™ treatments. She highlighted how these non-invasive technologies help her stay radiant despite a demanding schedule of family life, concerts, and frequent travel, noting their combined benefits for skin rejuvenation and confidence before major performances. She said, "I would schedule BTL treatments during my visits to Hong Kong, particularly before attending events. EMFACE™ and EXION™ are one of my favourite treatments as they make me glow immediately." Linda also expressed her excitement to try EXOMIND™, believing that improving sleep quality and enhancing cognitive function can effectively cope with long-haul flights and jet lag. Looking stunning on stage, Linda delighted guests — especially in Vietnam where she is widely admired. Offering advice, she said, "Self-care isn't just a one-time event; it's about consistency. Investing in yourself is always worth it." She concluded her appearance by presenting awards that recognized excellence and innovation within the aesthetics community.

Science-Backed Innovations: EMFACE™ and EXOMIND™

The summit highlighted EMFACE™ and EXOMIND™ as breakthrough technologies embodying the philosophy of Mindful Beauty. EMFACE™ is the world's first device to synchronize RF with HIFES™, working simultaneously on skin and muscle to stimulate collagen and elastin production, selectively tones the face-elevating muscles and lift features non-invasively — without needles, discomfort, or downtime. Its flexible treatment options, including the new Eye applicator, target areas such as the forehead, eye, cheeks, and submentum restore and elevate support of facial features.

Complementing this, EXOMIND utilizes patented ExoTMS technology to activate neurons through magnetic fields. By enhancing the brain's neural networks for message transmission, EXOMIND™ helps improve sleep, regulate emotion, improve stress management and reduce food cravings, offering patients both mental clarity and enhancing living standard.

Together, EMFACE™ and EXOMIND™ represent BTL's vision of authentic, science-driven "beauty from within," delivering visible results alongside improved wellbeing and confidence. This integrated approach reflects a growing demand for holistic solutions that strengthen both appearance and inner resilience.

International Dialogue on Mindful Beauty - The summit fostered a truly global dialogue, bringing together leading voices from across continents. Miss Sherina Balaratnam (UK), Dr. Sam R. Patel (USA) and Dr. Darren Ng (Australia) sat together having an EMFACE™ Q&A session.
