How Does an InBody Scan Work?
InBody scans work through a process called bioelectrical impedance analysis, which uses low-level electric currents to measure fat, muscle, and water. Following your consultation, you'll remove your socks and shoes before standing on the InBody and placing your hands around special grips. All you have to do is stand still while the machine takes measurements of your body's composition. The entire process is noninvasive, and you shouldn't feel any discomfort from the electric current. After the scan (which usually takes a minute or less), we'll review the results with you, compare them to any prior scans, and start building out a plan to help you maintain your health and achieve your wellness goals.

Midwest Medical Weight Loss & Aesthetics Reviews
I joined Midwest Medical Weight Loss back in May. I have lost 25 lbs. The way Midwest approaches weight loss is holistic. I go each week to talk through the prior week’s highs and lows. We then jointly determine are there any changes I need to consider. I finally feel like I have an advocate in my court. It’s not about getting me in and out and charging me. It’s about making sure I’m making the changes necessary for making this weight loss journey a lifestyle change. Thrilled with the results.
Hands down best decision ever made. The whole team is incredible! Shannon is spectacular! Life changing and never felt better in my 40s down to my goal weight within a couple of months micro dosing only. Best office ever
I've been going to the Orland location for a few years now and I love the office here. They have a variety of services you can use. The ladies are wonderful, they're always so nice and polite.

Frequently Asked Questions about InBody Scans
What does an InBody scan measure?
Our InBody device measures muscle mass, body fat percentage, and water balance. Together, these measurements provide a more detailed look at your body composition so that you can more accurately track your progress.
How is an InBody scan different from a traditional scale?
A normal scale only measures your weight. An InBody scan provides a more detailed view of how fat and muscle are distributed throughout your body, giving more insight into your overall health.
How long does an InBody scan take?
InBody scans are quick and comfortable. A typical scan takes only 30 – 60 seconds to complete, after which we will discuss your results with you.
How often should an InBody scan be done?
The answer to this question depends on your goals, but we usually recommend an InBody scan every 1 – 2 months for patients trying to transform their bodies. Regular scans allow us to track your progress and fitness level.
How are InBody results used in health planning?
The data from InBody body composition analysis helps our team create personalized fitness, nutrition, and weight management strategies built around your needs and goals. It's also helpful for understanding how your body is changing over time, which is difficult to understand from just your weight alone.
