InBody Technology

Get an in-depth look at your body and health! The InBody technology uses bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA). Its multi-frequency measurement method measures intra- and extracellular water. We use it to further understand your body and to define your treatment plan. The InBody scanner provides a comprehensive view of body composition balance and looks at the main components that relate to our health status. These include body water, lean muscle mass, minerals, body fat, and specifically visceral fat. With these measurements, we can manage your health and we can track your weight loss. A lower weight does not imply that you have lost fat mass. However, the InBody technology helps you identify what weight was lost, and helps you focus on losing the right mass and building muscle at the same time.
