The InBody® system sends a low-level electrical current through the body, providing precise, segmental measurements without pinching, scanning, or water immersion.
The test is completely painless and non-invasive. You simply stand on the InBody® device, hold the hand electrodes, and remain still for a few minutes while the system measures your body composition.
Most individuals can safely undergo body composition analysis, but those with pacemakers, defibrillators, or implanted medical devices should consult with their doctor first. If you have specific health concerns, our team can help determine if this test is right for you.
