About This Assessment

What is medical body composition analysis and what does it measure?

Reviewed by our board-certified anti-aging specialists. Medically supervised since 2006.

A medical-grade body composition scan goes far beyond what a scale can tell you, measuring fat mass, lean muscle mass, and body water using bioelectrical impedance.

Standard weight and BMI measurements are blunt instruments. They can't tell you whether you're losing fat or muscle, whether your weight gain is from inflammation, or whether your muscle mass is adequate for healthy aging. Our body composition analysis uses a seca medical Body Composition Analyzer, phase-sensitive bioelectrical impedance technology validated against whole-body MRI in clinical studies. In less than 30 seconds, it provides actionable data that we use to personalize your weight loss, hormone therapy, and wellness protocols. Results are stored in a secure portal you can access anytime.

What the scan measures:

  • Fat mass (total and segmental)
  • Lean body mass / skeletal muscle mass
  • Body water (total, intracellular, extracellular)
  • Percent body fat
  • Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
  • Visceral fat level (a key health risk indicator)

Why it matters for your treatment:

  • Ensures weight loss targets fat, not muscle
  • Guides hormone therapy optimization
  • Detects water retention that may signal inflammation
  • Tracks results with precision, not just pounds
  • Tailors nutritional and exercise recommendations
  • Identifies muscle loss risk during caloric restriction

What to Expect

What to expect from your body composition scan

1
Preparation
Arrive well-hydrated. Avoid eating, exercising, or bathing within 4 hours of your scan for the most accurate results. Remove metal jewelry and shoes.
2
The 30-second scan
You stand on the device and hold the hand electrodes for approximately 30 seconds. Weak electrical currents pass through your body, and the device calculates your composition based on resistance.
3
Results review
Your provider reviews your results immediately, explaining your fat mass, muscle mass, body water, and visceral fat levels in plain language and what they mean for your health and treatment goals.
4
Protocol personalization
Results directly inform your treatment plan, whether adjusting weight loss medication dosing, refining your hormone protocol, or identifying nutritional priorities. Follow-up scans track your progress.
Common Questions

Body Composition Analysis, Frequently Asked Questions

A regular scale only measures total body weight. Body composition analysis measures fat mass, lean muscle mass, and body water separately, so you can see whether you're losing fat vs. muscle, whether your muscle mass is adequate, and whether water retention is a factor.
Our medical-grade BIA device measures fat mass, muscle mass, and body water using bioelectrical impedance analysis. It is significantly more accurate than consumer BIA devices.
It's valuable for anyone on a weight loss program (to ensure fat loss, not muscle loss), hormone therapy (to track body composition changes), or anyone interested in understanding their metabolic baseline for healthy aging.
For patients on active weight loss or hormone programs, we typically recommend scans every 6–12 weeks to track progress and adjust protocols.
Visceral fat is fat stored around internal organs in the abdominal cavity. Unlike subcutaneous fat, it is metabolically active and associated with increased risk of Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and systemic inflammation. The scan measures visceral fat level specifically, one of the most clinically relevant health metrics. Learn more about how to reduce visceral fat.

Bioelectrical impedance is a validated population-level method. Individual readings are affected by hydration, recent meals and activity, which is why we standardise how and when your scan is taken and track the trend over time rather than a single number.
