DEXA scanning
Body composition through DEXA
A DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scan is a cutting-edge medical imaging method used for assessing body composition, providing valuable data on bone density, visceral fat, lean muscle mass, and resting metabolism, giving a well-rounded picture of your health.
The scan offers a clear baseline to track changes over time, allowing you to see the impact of your fitness programs, diet, or lifestyle changes with tangible, objective data.
It is quick and non-invasive, making it an appealing option for those seeking detailed health insights without the discomfort of more invasive procedures.
