InBody Biometric Scans in Houston, TX
Understand your body composition with remarkable precision using the advanced InBody Scan. This fast, non-invasive analysis looks far beyond your weight, measuring key components like skeletal muscle mass, body fat percentage, and total body water. These detailed metrics provide invaluable insights to guide your fitness, weight management, and overall health journey based on objective data.
Key Benefits
of the InBody Scan
1. Distinguish Fat Loss from Muscle Loss
InBody precisely separates your weight into distinct components like fat mass versus lean muscle mass. This critical distinction reveals your true progress during weight management, ensuring fat reduction occurs while preserving metabolically active muscle tissue essential for long-term health outcomes.
2. Determine Your Basal Metabolic Rate
Understand your body's unique daily caloric needs through accurate BMR calculation. The scan determines the number of calories your body burns at complete rest, providing foundational data for creating personalized, effective nutrition plans aligned with your specific metabolism and fitness goals.
3. Analyze Body Water Balance
Gain valuable insight into your hydration status via comprehensive total body water analysis. InBody measures both intracellular (within cells) and extracellular water levels, helping identify imbalances critical for optimizing cellular function, athletic performance, recovery processes, and overall wellness routines.
4. Identify Segmental Muscle Distribution
Pinpoint specific areas requiring focus in your training regimen through segmental lean analysis. The scan measures muscle mass in each arm, each leg, and the trunk independently. This reveals potential imbalances enabling targeted adjustments to your workouts for improved symmetry, strength, and function.
InBody Scan FAQs
The InBody Scan is an advanced body composition analyzer utilizing Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). During the quick scan, safe, low-level electrical currents pass through your body via hand and foot electrodes. The device measures the impedance (resistance) encountered to calculate your detailed body composition metrics accurately.
Your comprehensive results sheet details numerous key metrics. Common outputs include your precise weight, total skeletal muscle mass, total body fat mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat level estimate, total body water analysis (including intra/extracellular water), segmental lean mass analysis, and your calculated Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR).
Following standard Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis preparation yields the most consistent results. Avoid eating, consuming large fluid volumes, drinking caffeine, or exercising vigorously for about 2-3 hours before scanning. Use the restroom just prior, avoid hand/foot lotions, and stand still during the measurement.
Yes, the technology uses very low-level, safe electrical currents and is non-invasive for most healthy adults. However, individuals with implanted electronic medical devices, such primarily pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), should not use BIA devices like InBody due to potential interference risks.
Scan frequency optimally aligns with your specific health or fitness program goals. An initial scan establishes your baseline composition. Tracking progress often involves follow-up scans every 4 to 12 weeks during active phases of weight management or training, allowing timely adjustments based on measured changes.
