A DEXA scan is a non-invasive, low-radiation imaging test that measures three critical components of your body:

• Bone Mineral Density (BMD)
• Body Fat Percentage and Distribution
• Lean Muscle Mass

The scan is quick, painless, and typically takes about 10–20 minutes. You’ll simply lie comfortably on a table while the machine does its work—no prep, no injections, no discomfort.

Understand Your Body Composition
Unlike a traditional scale or BMI calculation, a DEXA scan precisely measures how much of your weight comes from fat, muscle, and bone. This gives you a clear picture of your true health status—not just a number on the scale.

Detect Early Signs of Osteopenia or Osteoporosis
Bone health is often overlooked until problems arise. A DEXA scan can identify early bone loss, which can begin as early as our late 30s, especially in those with more sedentary jobs. These scans can give you the opportunity to strengthen your bones through lifestyle changes before more serious conditions develop.

Optimize Fitness and Performance Goals
Whether you’re an athlete, someone on a fitness journey, or simply striving for better health, a DEXA scan provides the data you need to set realistic goals, track muscle gains, and fine-tune your training or nutrition plan.

Reduce Long-Term Health Risks
Higher levels of visceral fat (the fat stored around our organs), low muscle mass, and low bone density are associated with increased risks of chronic diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and fractures. Early detection means earlier intervention—and better outcomes.
