InBody Scan

Go Beyond the Number on the Weighing Scale

Your weight can tell you how many pounds you weigh, but it doesn't tell you how much of that weight comes from body fat, muscle, or water.

At Forever Young, we believe weight alone does not tell the entire story. That is why we provide advanced InBody body composition analysis to evaluate what is happening beneath the surface.

Our team measures your precise ratio of skeletal muscle mass, body fat, and total body water to track real progress over time. Whether you are working toward metabolic health, muscle preservation, or sustainable weight loss, we give you the actionable data you need to reach your goals.

What Is an InBody Scan?

An InBody scan is a body composition analysis that helps show what your body weight is made up of, providing information that a traditional scale cannot.

Using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), InBody estimates key measurements such as body fat, skeletal muscle mass, and body water. Together, these measurements provide a more detailed picture of your body composition.

Why We Rely on InBody Scan for Weight Management

We integrate InBody body composition analysis into our medical weight-management programs to track precise changes in your muscle mass, fat distribution, and cellular hydration.

Here is how body composition analysis transforms your weight management plan.

Look Beyond Weight Alone

Instead of relying on one number, InBody testing can give you information about measurements such as body fat, skeletal muscle mass, and body water.

This allows us to look at your progress from more than one perspective.

Monitor Muscle During Weight Management

When you're working toward weight loss, changes in body weight don't tell you whether the change is coming primarily from body fat, lean tissue, or other components of your body composition.

Tracking skeletal muscle mass alongside body weight and body fat can give us additional context as your weight-management plan progresses.

Put Weight Fluctuations Into Context

Your weight can naturally fluctuate from one day to another. Changes in hydration and other factors can affect the number you see on the scale. Looking at body-composition measurements over time can help distinguish a single scale reading from broader changes in your body.

Helps Identify Hidden Metabolic Risks

Standard BMI calculations often miss dangerous visceral fat, the hidden fat stored around your vital internal organs. By monitoring your visceral fat levels, we can evaluate your metabolic health and tailor your treatment to target deep-seated risk factors.

Delivers Data-Driven Plan Adjustments

Instead of relying on guesswork, your regular scan results give us exact data. This allows our team to fine-tune your nutrition, customized supplement protocols, and medication dosages based on how your body composition adapts over time.

What Your InBody Report Can Show

During your visit, our team sits down with you to review your detailed InBody report. We explain what each metric means for your health and how it shapes your treatment.

Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM)

We measure your active muscle tissue to ensure you maintain strength and metabolic capacity throughout your health journey.

Percent Body Fat (PBF)

We calculate your exact percentage of body fat relative to your total body mass, giving us a far more accurate benchmark than Body Mass Index (BMI).

Visceral Fat Level

We assess the hidden fat stored around your vital internal organs, which is a key marker for metabolic health, cardiovascular function, and insulin resistance.

Total Body Water (TBW) & ECW Ratios

We monitor cellular hydration and track extracellular water balance to check for systemic inflammation, fluid retention, or dehydration.

Segmental Lean & Fat Analysis

We break down the muscle mass and fat distribution across each arm, leg, and your torso. This can help us look at how lean mass is distributed rather than considering your body as a single measurement.

Who May Benefit From an InBody Scan?

You don't have to rely on the scale alone to understand changes in your body. InBody testing may be useful if you:

Are starting or participating in a medical weight-management program

Want to better understand your current body composition

Want information beyond weight or BMI alone

Are working toward changes in body fat or muscle mass

Want to establish baseline body-composition measurements

Want to track how your body composition changes over time

Our team can help you understand how InBody testing may fit into your individual health, weight-management, or wellness goals.

What to Expect From Your InBody Scan

We make the InBody testing process seamless, comfortable, and quick.

Simple Preparation

We guide you on simple pre-test steps, such as staying normally hydrated and avoiding heavy exercise immediately before your appointment.

Rapid Testing

You stand barefoot on the InBody device platform and gently hold the hand electrodes. The non-invasive scan uses safe, low-level microcurrents to measure tissue resistance. The scan takes under two minutes and causes no pain or discomfort.

Immediate Clinical Consultation

As soon as your report prints, our medical team reviews your results sheet with you. We explain your numbers in plain language and immediately align them with your personalized care plan.

InBody Scans as Part of Your Weight Management Plan

An InBody scan isn’t just a standalone test; it’s the clinical roadmap we use to guide your entire weight management program. Depending on your individual needs and treatment plan, your weight-management program may also include:

Appetite Suppressants

When appropriate, prescription medications may be used as part of an individualized weight-management plan.

GLP-1 Injections

Medication options may be incorporated into your treatment plan when clinically appropriate.

Lipotropics & B12

Supportive therapies may be recommended based on your individual needs and goals.

Custom Diet Plans & Lifestyle Changes

Practical nutrition and lifestyle strategies designed to support your long-term progress.

Our approach is not about treating one number in isolation. We look at your goals, your health, and the information available to us to help guide your care.
