For the most accurate results, we recommend the following: Fast for at least 4 hours before your scan, water is fine. Drink normal amounts of water but avoid overhydrating. Wear athletic clothes free of metal, zippers, underwire, and jewelry. Try to mimic the same routine before each scan. Consistency is key to tracking meaningful change over time.

Wear comfortable athletic clothes with no metal, zippers, underwire, or jewelry. You'll remain fully clothed during the scan.

Absolutely. Rapid weight loss from GLP-1 medications often comes with muscle loss and the scale won't tell you which one you're losing. A DEXA scan gives you a precise breakdown of fat mass versus lean muscle, so you can confirm your medication is working the way it should. Without it, you're guessing. With it, you know exactly what's happening inside your body as your weight changes.

For most people, whether you're in a training block, weight loss program, or on GLP-1 medications, we recommend scanning every quarter (3 months). This gives your body enough time to show meaningful change while keeping you accountable. For aggressive transformations or competitive prep, monthly scans give you the tightest feedback and the clearest picture of what's working.

We respect your time and ours. Appointments can be rescheduled or canceled up to 24 hours in advance without penalty. Late cancellations or no-shows will forfeit the scan credit. Arriving more than 10 minutes late may result in a shortened appointment or forfeited credit at our discretion.

A DEXA scan emits an extremely low level of radiation, roughly equivalent to eating 4 bananas or taking a short airplane flight. It is widely considered safe for healthy adults and is routinely used in clinical and research settings worldwide. If you have specific health concerns, we recommend consulting your doctor before scheduling.

Traditional bone density scans focus solely on bone health and are typically used to screen for osteoporosis. A full body composition DEXA scan goes much further — measuring fat mass, lean muscle, visceral fat, bone density, RMR and more in a single 6-minute scan. It's a complete biological blueprint, not just a bone health check. Please note that our scans are designed for body composition tracking and do not screen for or diagnose osteoporosis.

After your scan, a member of our team will walk you through your results using a printed report, breaking down your body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, visceral fat, bone density, RMR, and fat distribution by region so you leave with a clear understanding of your data. From there, your full results are uploaded to the DexaCore app and web portal, where you can access them anytime and track changes across every scan over time. No confusing numbers left unexplained. We make sure you walk out knowing exactly what your results mean.

DEXA scans are not performed on individuals who are pregnant. If you have any questions about eligibility, please consult your doctor before booking.
