Inbody Scan
Almost everyone knows their body weight. When we decide to start a diet, exercise, or change our body shape, our first goal is usually to see a different number on the scale. What many people don’t realize is that this number alone cannot describe the real condition of the body. In a way that two people can have the same weight but completely different levels of health.
InBody Scan helps you see what that number is really made of. It shows your exact body composition and gives you clear insight into how much fat, muscle, and water your body carries. For anyone aiming to lose weight, gain muscle, or simply maintain the health of vital organs like the kidneys, liver, and metabolism, this test acts as a personal roadmap toward better results.
So why wait? Book your appointment today and discover what your body is truly made of.
What is an InBody Scan?
An InBody Scan is a quick and non-invasive test that breaks your body weight into its main components: fat, muscle, and water. It uses advanced bioelectrical technology to show what your body is truly made of. In less than two minutes, the device performs a full body composition analysis using direct segmental measurement, meaning it evaluates each area of your body separately instead of relying on general assumptions. The full appointment, including consultation, usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
Understanding your results can also help you decide which body treatments suit your goals best, such as Body Contouring for shaping and tightening specific areas based on your actual body composition.
How inbody does work?
The scan is based on bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), a method that measures how electrical signals move through the body. Because muscle, fat, and water each conduct these signals differently, the InBody device sends multiple frequencies through the body to capture accurate readings for every segment, such as the arms, legs, and trunk. This approach represents the next generation of BIA technology, designed to deliver precise and individualized results rather than estimates based on population averages. The outcome is a reliable and repeatable measurement that helps you make informed choices about your fitness and health goals.
What does InBody measure?
- Body fat percentage and fat mass
- Skeletal muscle mass
- Lean body mass for arms, legs, and trunk
- Total body water and fluid balance
- Visceral fat level
Basal metabolic rate (BMR)
If your results show fluid imbalance or dehydration, treatments like IV Drip Therapy can help restore hydration and improve recovery after exercise or detox programs.

What does an InBody Scan tell you?
An InBody Scan shows your full body composition, including fat mass, muscle mass, body water, and visceral fat levels. It helps you understand whether weight changes are coming from fat loss, muscle gain, or fluid shifts.
Is the InBody Scan accurate?
Yes, InBody devices are highly accurate when used under the right conditions. To get consistent results, it’s best to scan under similar circumstances each time, for example, same time of day, before eating, and without recent intense exercise.
How long does an InBody Scan take?
The actual scan takes about one to two minutes. Including preparation and consultation, the entire appointment usually takes 15 to 20 minutes
How often should I do an InBody Scan?
Most people repeat the test every 4 to 6 weeks to track changes in fat, muscle, and water balance. If you are following a fitness or slimming program such as Mesotherapy for Slimming or Body Contouring, regular scans help measure real progress instead of relying on the scale alone.
Can I do an InBody Scan if I have a pacemaker?
No. The InBody device sends a very small electrical current through the body, so it is not recommended for anyone with a pacemaker or implanted medical device.
Is the InBody Scan safe during pregnancy?
It is not advised for pregnant women. Although the current use is extremely low, pregnancy causes major fluid changes that can affect accuracy. It is better to postpone the test until after delivery.
Do I need to prepare before the test?
Yes. For the most reliable results:
- Avoid eating 3 to 4 hours before your scan.
- Do not drink alcohol or caffeine within 24 hours.
- Avoid heavy exercise before testing.Remove
- jewelry and ensure hands and feet are dry.
Does hydration affect the results?
Yes, hydration has a big impact. Too little or too much water can temporarily change the reading. That’s why some clients also schedule IV Drip Therapy after their scan to restore proper hydration and balance.

My gym has a basic body scan machine. What’s the difference between that and the InBody 570
Hi Rashid, the basic body scan machines in most gyms only give general estimates of body fat and weight. The InBody 570 is far more advanced: it uses multi-frequency, segmental analysis to measure muscle, fat, and water in each part of your body separately. It’s significantly more accurate and clinically reliable compared to standard gym scanners.
