FAQ

A Body Composition Scan shows your amount of fat versus lean muscle mass, and even tells you how much of that fat is around your organs versus under your skin. It also tracks changes in your muscle mass, which is super helpful for understanding your overall health and fitness. This means you can see how your body is changing, even if your weight stays the same. A regular scale just tells you how much you weigh.

It is very accurate. Especially when done by a trained professional. Just bear in mind that everyday things like hydration, food intake, and physical activity can affect your results. To get the most consistent and accurate readings, it is best to have the scan at the same time of day and under similar conditions each time.

It depends entirely on your goals. If you are working on losing weight or building muscle, it is helpful to have a scan every 4 to 6 weeks to keep track of your progress. For general health monitoring, a scan every 3 to 6 months should be enough.

It usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes. After the scan, you will get a report with your body composition details, which you can discuss with your healthcare provider or fitness professional.

The results can help create a personalised fitness and nutrition plan. If your body fat percentage is high, the scan can show you where to focus your fat loss efforts. If you have low muscle mass, a trainer or nutritionist can help design a strength training plan to build muscle. Tracking your visceral fat (the fat around your organs) also helps you understand your risk for conditions like heart disease or diabetes. By regularly checking your body composition, you can make lifestyle changes that support better health and wellness.
