InBody Composition Scan

What is an InBody composition scan?

An InBody composition scan is a screening tool that provides valuable information about your health. Going beyond your weight, the advanced scan helps you understand key aspects of your body’s composition, including body fat percentages, muscle mass, and water distribution.

InBody composition scans use bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology to evaluate your body’s composition. The system works by sending electrical currents into the body, which bounce off tissues to estimate percentages of fat, muscle, and water in your body.

Men’s T Clinic offers body composition scans from InBody to learn more about the factors that influence a man’s health. Scans are also available to track changes in your body composition as you eat better and exercise more.

The information that InBody composition scan provides makes it possible for the skilled medical specialists to create the care plan you need to feel your best. They offer several men’s wellness services to support your long-term physical health and sexual wellness.

How do I prepare for an InBody composition scan?

While InBody technology doesn’t guarantee 100% accuracy, there are steps you can take before your scan to get the most reliable results.

The Men’s T Clinic specialists provide personalized guidance to help you get ready for your body scan. In general, you should avoid exercising and eating for several hours before your appointment. You should also ensure you drink enough water to keep your tissues properly hydrated.

An InBody composition scan is painless. You stand comfortably on the scanner device. Electrode sensors make contact with different points in the body to calculate fat, muscle, and water percentages.

What are the benefits of an InBody composition scan?

Understanding body fat percentages and other details of your body composition helps you make educated decisions about improving your health. The results provide insight into how you can change your fitness levels and eating habits to support your health.

Body composition scans also provide information about visceral fat percentages. Visceral fat surrounds your organs and too much of it can significantly increase your risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers.

The specialists review your body scan results and discuss what steps you can take to lose weight, build muscle, and optimize your physical health.
