What is a Body Composition Scan and How Does It Work?
A body composition scan is a detailed assessment that measures various aspects of your body, including body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, bone density, and more. Unlike traditional weight scales or BMI calculations, which only provide a general overview, a body composition analysis in our Melbourne or Sydney clinic delivers precise insights into your muscle and fat distribution, helping you better understand your overall health.
During a body fat scan, advanced technology is used to measure and interpret your body’s key metrics, offering a deeper look at your wellness and performance metrics. At HealthScreen, our state-of-the-art scans provide you with the data you need to take charge of your health and achieve your fitness goals.
