While your bathroom scale can help you track your weight, it only shows part of the picture. How much of your body weight is muscle and what percentage is fat? And how many calories does your body need for its basic functions when at rest? Our clinician at Obsidian Skin Spa uses InBody scans to better understand your body composition and create personalized, effective weight management and metabolic health plans. Talk to one of our team members to get started today!
What Is InBody Composition Analysis?
The InBody body composition analyzer offers a non-invasive way to measure your body composition through a bioelectrical impedance analysis, or BIA. A weak, alternating current will pass through your body, and because muscle, fat, and water conduct currents differently, the device can determine your body's unique makeup in just a few seconds. You'll learn more about lean muscle mass in different parts of your body, your body fat percentage, visceral fat, body water, and basal metabolic rate (BMR).
What Sets InBody Composition Analysis Apart?
The scale at your local gym may use bioelectrical impedance, but many of these devices use fewer electrodes and a single frequency. Our InBody scans use eight-point tactile electrodes and multiple frequencies, allowing for more detailed body composition analysis and improved measurement consistency.
How Does an InBody Scan Support Your Weight Management and Metabolic Health Plan?
Here is a look at the value InBody scans bring to your weight management and wellness journey:
- Establishing a Baseline: Your first InBody scan establishes a baseline to measure progress over time and show how your body composition is responding to your wellness plan.
- Tracking Your Progress: We take periodic scans to track your progress and help determine whether you're losing or gaining fat or muscle and where, so we can adjust your plan as needed.
- Measuring Visceral Fat: Your scans measure visceral fat, the fat around your organs, which carries a higher health risk than the subcutaneous fat that's under your skin.
- Determining Your BMR: Our InBody device determines your basal metabolic rate, or BMR, which helps determine the calories you need each day for your body's basic functions when at rest.
What Can You Expect During Your InBody Scan?
The non-invasive scan takes just seconds to complete. Our PA will enter your personal profile. She will ask you to wipe your hands and feet with an InBody tissue before stepping on the scale. You'll need to hold the hand sensors on either side of the device with your arms stretched out and your thumbs on oval electrodes. That's it. Within seconds, you'll have a printout detailing your body's unique composition.
