Comprehensive DEXA scan with consultation to determine most suitable weight loss methods based on body composition.

DEXA body composition scan specifically for weight management planning. Provides baseline body composition data to guide targeted weight loss strategies — whether the focus should be fat loss, muscle preservation, or both. Results help determine suitable weight loss methods based on individual fat and muscle distribution.

Who Is This For?

Anyone interested in understanding their body composition beyond what a scale can tell you. Fitness enthusiasts and athletes tracking muscle gain and fat loss over time. People on weight management programs who want objective progress measurements. Those over 50 or with risk factors for osteoporosis wanting bone density screening. Longevity-focused individuals establishing baseline measurements for body composition optimization.

What's Included

Bone mineral density (BMD) measurement — spine and hip
T-score and Z-score comparison to reference populations
Total body fat percentage and distribution
Lean muscle mass measurement — total and per region
Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) estimation
Regional body composition breakdown (arms, legs, trunk)
Comparison report if previous scan available

Preparation Required

No fasting required. Wear comfortable, lightweight clothing without metal components (zippers, belt buckles, underwire). Remove all jewelry and metal accessories. Stay well-hydrated — dehydration can slightly affect body composition readings. Avoid intense exercise for 24 hours before the scan, as fluid shifts can influence results. The scan itself takes approximately 10–20 minutes and is painless. You'll lie still on an open table while the scanner arm passes over you.
