What To Expect

The INBODY Body Composition Scan uses cutting-edge bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to provide a detailed breakdown of what makes up the body's total weight—going far beyond what a traditional scale can reveal.

• Comprehensive Body Analysis: The scan measures body fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass, lean body mass, bone mineral content, and total body water with clinical-grade accuracy
• Quick & Painless Process: Simply stand on the device and hold the handgrips for approximately 90 seconds while safe, low-level electrical currents analyze body composition
• Detailed Results Sheet: Receive a comprehensive printout that breaks down body composition by body segment, identifies visceral fat levels, and provides personalized health insights
• Data-Driven Decision Making: Use precise measurements to create customized nutrition plans, track fitness progress over time, and set realistic, achievable health goals based on individual body metrics

Understanding body composition is the foundation for successful weight management—revealing not just how much one weighs, but what that weight is made of!

Before Your Scan

• Maintain normal fluid intake the day before—avoid excessive hydration or dehydration
• Avoid eating 3-4 hours before the scan for most accurate results
• Wear minimal, lightweight clothing—remove jewelry, watches, and metal accessories
• Avoid intense exercise 12 hours before the scan to prevent altered body water levels

FAQs

How accurate is the INBODY Body Composition Scan?

The INBODY scan delivers 98% accuracy in measuring body composition using advanced bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). This clinical-grade technology is trusted by medical professionals and fitness experts worldwide to provide precise measurements of body fat percentage, muscle mass, bone density, and hydration levels—far more detailed than traditional scales or BMI calculations.

What can the scan tell me that a regular scale cannot?

While a regular scale only shows total body weight, the INBODY scan reveals the complete composition of that weight. Clients will see exactly how many pounds of muscle, fat, bone mass, and water make up their body, with segmental analysis showing distribution in the trunk, arms, and legs. This data identifies whether weight changes come from muscle gain, fat loss, or water retention—critical information for effective weight management.

Is the INBODY scan safe and comfortable?

Absolutely! The scan is completely non-invasive, painless, and safe for most individuals. The low-level electrical currents used are so mild they cannot be felt during the 90-second test. There's no dunking in water, no pinching with calipers, and no radiation exposure—simply stand on the platform, hold the handgrips, and receive comprehensive results in under 2 minutes.

Who can benefit from getting an INBODY Body Composition Scan?

The INBODY scan is valuable for anyone on a health and fitness journey—whether starting a weight loss program, building muscle, training for athletic performance, managing chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, or simply wanting to understand current health status. It's particularly beneficial for those who exercise regularly but aren't seeing expected results, as it reveals whether the body is losing fat or muscle.

How often should I get rescanned to track progress?

For optimal progress tracking, most clients benefit from rescanning every 2-4 weeks under similar conditions (same time of day, similar hydration and meal timing). This frequency allows for meaningful changes to occur while providing regular motivation and accountability. Medical Weight Loss by Healthogenics can help establish a personalized scanning schedule based on individual goals and program needs.
