A DEXA body composition analysis tells you what a scale can’t. You step onto the bathroom scale after a long month at the gym, and the number drops. But was that fat, muscle, or water?

In just a few minutes, a DEXA scan uses low-dose X-ray beams to separate fat, lean tissue, and bone.

What Your Scale Lumps Together

Spoiler: the number on the scale includes far more than fat. Muscle, bone, organs, and fluids all count toward the total.

Some people lose fat while adding muscle, so the scale barely moves. Others drop pounds quickly, only to realize they’ve lost precious muscle along the way.

That’s why the mirror and measurements sometimes disagree with the scale.

Four Numbers From a DEXA Body Composition Analysis

• Body fat percentage. This measures how much of your total mass is fat.
• Lean mass by region. Arms, legs, and trunk are measured individually, revealing uneven muscle loss.
• Visceral fat. This deep fat around the organs is a useful signal of metabolic health risk.
• Bone density. We can also screen for declining bone density, a special concern for women over 40.

These four numbers give clear direction, and they pair perfectly with PNOĒ metabolic testing.

Quick, Low Dose, and No Prep

The scan takes only a few minutes while you lie on an open table. The radiation dose is tiny compared with a chest X-ray.

No fasting, shots, or recovery time is needed, which makes a DEXA body composition analysis one of the easiest health tests around. Results are ready immediately.

A Styku 3D scan is also included, capturing hundreds of measurements in about 45 seconds. Repeat scans make progress easy to track.
