InBody Scan
An InBody Scan is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to measure the amount of muscle, fat, and water in your body.
How does the InBody work?
An InBody Scan is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to measure the amount of muscle, fat, and water in your body. It works by sending a small electrical current through your body and measuring how it responds. This allows for accurate measurements of body composition without any discomfort or radiation exposure.
During an InBody Scan, you will stand on a specialized scale that sends electrical currents through your body. The entire process takes less than 60 seconds and is completely painless. Once the scan is complete, you will receive a detailed report with information about your body composition.
What information can an InBody Scan show?
An InBody Scan provides valuable information about your overall health and wellness. Some of the key pieces of information it can show include:
- Total body fat percentage
- Muscle mass distribution
- Visceral fat level (fat around organs)
- Bone mineral content
- Water distribution in the body
- Basal metabolic rate (calories burned at rest)
- Body mass index (BMI)
- Segmental muscle and fat analysis (arms, legs, trunk)

No specific preparation is needed for an InBody Scan. However, it is recommended to avoid food, caffeine, alcohol, and exercise at least 3 hours before the scan for more accurate results.
We recommend getting an InBody Scan every 2-3 months to track your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your wellness plan.
No, it is not recommended for pregnant women or individuals with pacemakers to undergo an InBody Scan due to the use of electrical currents.
The results are available immediately after the scan is complete, and our team at Upstate Ketamine and Wellness will go over them with you in detail.
