InBody Scan in Los Angeles: Frequently Asked Questions
At
Blossom Med in Lancaster, we use the
InBody Scan to give you a clear picture of your health and body composition. This advanced technology goes beyond the scale, helping you track fat, muscle, and hydration levels. Here are some of the most common questions we hear from patients.
What is an InBody Scan?
An InBody Scan is a quick, non-invasive test that measures your body composition — including body fat percentage, muscle mass, hydration levels, and basal metabolic rate (how many calories you burn at rest). It provides more detailed insights than a regular scale.
How does the InBody Scan work?
The device uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to measure how electrical currents travel through your body. Different tissues (like fat, muscle, and water) conduct electricity differently, allowing for precise measurements.
Why should I get an InBody Scan?
Understanding your body composition helps you:
- Track progress during medical weight loss programs
- Monitor muscle growth vs. fat loss
- Monitor hydration levels
- Create a more personalized nutrition and fitness plan
Is the InBody Scan safe?
Yes. The scan is completely non-invasive, painless, and safe for most patients. It takes just a few minutes and provides immediate results. However, if you have a pacemaker, this test is not for you.
How often should I do an InBody Scan?
We perform scans every 2-4 weeks for members on our weight loss and PCOS programs. In general, we recommend scans every 4–6 weeks to track progress and adjust any self-monitored program. Many of our medical weight loss and nutritional counseling patients use InBody Scans to stay motivated and measure results accurately.
What makes InBody better than a regular scale?
Scales only show your total body weight. The InBody Scan shows what that weight is made of — muscle, fat, and water. This means you can see real improvements, even if the number on the scale doesn’t change dramatically. Not all weight loss is good weight loss, for example muscle loss is unhealthy and needs to be addressed right away.
