Fat and muscle distribution
The number on the scale does not separate fat from muscle. DXA shows how much of each you have and where it sits.

Tests and assessments
DXA and body composition measurement
DXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) precisely measures fat mass, muscle mass and bone density. The scan is done at a partner center and the results are interpreted with your doctor, so the numbers turn into a clear plan.

What the measurement shows
Abdominal fat
Visceral abdominal fat matters more for metabolism than total weight. DXA makes it measurable.
Bone density
Bone mineral density gives a baseline your doctor can use to assess bone strength and follow change over time.
Change over time
A repeat scan shows whether weight loss comes from fat or muscle — the most important number when following a program.
When the scan is justified
- You want to follow weight-loss or training results at the level of fat and muscle mass.
- Your weight has stayed the same, but your body shape or how you feel has changed.
- Your doctor wants a more precise view of bone density or metabolic risk.
- You are starting a longer program and need a clear baseline.
How it works
1. Doctor's appointment
We go through your question and health background. The doctor assesses whether DXA is justified for you or other measurements are enough.
2. Scan at the partner center
The scan itself takes a few minutes, is painless and needs no preparation beyond comfortable clothing.
3. Interpreting the results
The doctor explains what the numbers mean for you and connects them to the next steps — nutrition, training, lab tests.
Good to know
- The DXA scan is performed by a partner center and paid directly to that partner — it is not included in the consultation price.
- The scan is an assessment tool, not a diagnosis or treatment. A result does not guarantee a health outcome.
- DXA is not performed during pregnancy.
