InBody Scanning

InBody scanning is a quick, non-invasive test that goes beyond the scale to measure your body composition. Instead of only tracking weight, it breaks down fat, muscle, water, and visceral fat to give you a complete picture of your health. This is especially valuable for those using GLP-1 medications, as it helps ensure you’re losing fat — not muscle — while achieving your goals.

Benefits of InBody Scanning

  • Track changes in fat, muscle, and water

  • Monitor visceral fat linked to metabolic health

  • Measure hydration and overall body balance

  • Support GLP-1 treatment by protecting lean muscle

  • Stay motivated with progress beyond the scale

Common Side Effects of InBody Scanning

InBody scanning is safe, comfortable, and non-invasive. It uses a mild electrical current that you won’t feel. There are no side effects or downtime, but the test is not recommended for those who are pregnant or who have implanted medical devices such as pacemakers.

What to Expect at Your InBody Scanning Appointment

Your InBody scan takes just a few minutes:

  • You’ll remove your shoes and socks, then stand on the footplates and hold hand electrodes.

  • The device uses advanced bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to gather your body composition.

  • You’ll receive a detailed results sheet including body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, visceral fat, water balance, and metabolic rate.

  • Our team will review your results with you and provide guidance on how to use the information to meet your health and wellness goals.

InBody Scanning FAQs

Body composition is a method of describing what the body is made of. Your body composition includes fat, protein, minerals, and body water. Body composition analysis can accurately show changes in fat mass, muscle mass, and body fat percentage.

InBody provides patients with accurate and precise results that have been extensively validated to gold standard methods. To date, InBody devices have been used in thousands of research studies.

InBody devices use an advanced form of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) that combines direct segmental measurements with multiple frequencies to precisely measure body composition. InBody does not use empirical estimations based on age, gender, ethnicity, athleticism, or body shape in our measured values, which allows InBody to provide more accurate results.
