InBody
What is InBody?
InBody is an advanced, non-invasive body composition analysis or a precise scan that goes far beyond standard weight measurements.
It provides a snapshot of how your body is built. The scan breaks down muscle, fat, and water for a clear picture of your overall health.
What the InBody Scan Measures
The InBody scan provides a comprehensive look of your body’s unique composition, giving insight more detailed than the number on the scale. It evaluates key internal metrics in your body to help you understand how your body functions.
Body Fat Levels
Identifies how much of your weight comes from fat.
Muscle Mass
Shows the amount of muscle your body carries for strength and metabolism.
Body Water Balance
Assesses hydration and fluid distribution.
Visceral Fat
Measures internal fat around your organs linked to long-term health.
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
Estimates how many calories your body burns at rest.
Segmental Analysis
Breaks down muscle and fat in each limb and the torso for balanced insight.
How Does InBody Scan Work?
The InBody scan uses safe, non-invasive technology to analyze your body’s internal makeup in just a few minutes. It sends a gentle electrical current through the body to measure how different tissues respond.
How It Works:
- Bioelectrical Impedance: A low-level current travels through the body to gather composition data.
- Tissue Response Measurement: Muscle, fat, and water each conduct the current differently, allowing precise readings.
- Hand & Foot Sensors: You stand on the device and hold the handles while the scanner collects detailed metrics.
- Real-Time Data Analysis: The device instantly calculates body fat, muscle mass, water balance, and more.
- Comprehensive Report: Results are printed or displayed digitally for easy review with your provider.

What Our Patients Say
Any Questions?
No, it is not a diagnostic tool, but it provides valuable data your provider can use to identify potential areas of concern.
Yes, the scan is safe for most people, but individuals who are pregnant or have implanted electrical devices (like pacemakers) should consult their provider first.
The entire process usually takes less than 5 minutes from start to finish.
Many clients scan every 4–6 weeks to track progress, but the ideal frequency depends on your goals and wellness plan.
Not at all. The scan is completely painless and non-invasive.
For the most accurate results, it’s best to avoid eating, drinking large amounts of water, or exercising right before your scan.
Light clothing is fine, but heavy jewelry, shoes, and socks should be removed before stepping on the device.
Yes, hydration can impact readings, which is why consistency—same time of day, similar conditions—is recommended for repeat scans.
