InBody Body Composition
InBody Scan: See What the Scale Can’t Tell You

Beyond the Scale
Understand What’s Changing Inside Your Body
A standard scale shows one number. An InBody scan separates that number into measurements that provide more useful context for your nutrition and wellness goals.
Muscle Mass
View your estimated skeletal muscle mass and monitor changes over time.
Body Fat
Review your estimated body fat mass and body fat percentage.
Body Water
See estimated body water measurements that may affect your overall results.
Progress Over Time
Compare scans completed under similar conditions to identify meaningful trends.
Clear Results
Leave With a Detailed Body Composition Report
Body weight can change because of muscle, body fat, and water. Viewing these components separately gives you and your dietitian more context when discussing nutrition goals and monitoring progress.
- Identify your starting point with organized body composition measurements.
- Add context to your nutrition plan beyond total body weight alone.
- Compare changes over time when repeat scans are completed under similar conditions.

Before Your Scan
Small changes in hydration, meals, and activity can affect body composition measurements. Follow these steps before testing.
Maintain your normal fluid intake the day before and hydrate about one hour before testing.
Avoid completing the test immediately after a meal.
Exercise can influence muscle, fat, and body water measurements.
Empty your bladder before your scan for more consistent testing conditions.
Do not wear socks, pantyhose, watches, or heavy jewelry during testing.
When possible, test at the same time of day and under similar conditions.
