What Is an InBody 570 Scan?
The InBody 570 is an advanced body composition analyzer that uses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to measure different components of your body.
Unlike a traditional scale that only measures total weight, the InBody 570 provides detailed information about:
Body fat percentage
Skeletal muscle mass
Total body water
Lean body mass
Visceral fat estimation
Basal metabolic rate (BMR)
Segmental muscle analysis
Weight distribution
Body composition changes over time
This information allows both patients and providers to make more informed decisions about nutrition, exercise, and medical weight loss treatment.
Why Body Composition Matters
Two people can weigh exactly the same yet have completely different body compositions.
For example:
One person may have higher muscle mass and lower body fat.
Another may have less muscle and a higher percentage of body fat.
A standard scale cannot tell the difference.
The InBody 570 helps you understand what is actually changing during your weight loss journey so you can celebrate meaningful progress—even when the scale isn't moving as quickly as you'd like.
What Does the InBody 570 Measure?
Body Fat Percentage
Learn what percentage of your body is made up of fat tissue. Tracking body fat is often a more meaningful indicator of progress than weight alone.
Skeletal Muscle Mass
Measure the amount of muscle throughout your body.
Maintaining muscle during weight loss is essential for supporting metabolism, improving strength, and promoting long-term success.
Lean Body Mass
Lean body mass includes muscles, bones, organs, and body water. Monitoring lean mass helps ensure you're losing fat—not valuable muscle tissue.
Visceral Fat Estimation
Visceral fat is stored around the abdominal organs and is associated with increased health risks when present in excess.
Monitoring visceral fat helps evaluate improvements in overall metabolic health.
Total Body Water
The InBody 570 measures both intracellular and extracellular water to help identify fluid balance and support accurate body composition analysis.
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
Your BMR estimates how many calories your body burns each day while at rest.
This information can help guide nutrition and weight loss planning.
Segmental Muscle Analysis
The InBody 570 evaluates muscle distribution in each arm, each leg, and the trunk, helping identify muscular imbalances and monitor progress over time.

The InBody 570 is valuable for many different health and fitness goals.
It is ideal for:
Patients beginning a medical weight loss program
Individuals taking semaglutide or tirzepatide
Patients using prescription appetite suppressants
Athletes

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the InBody scan painful?
No. The scan is completely painless and non-invasive.
Is it safe?
Yes. The InBody 570 uses a very low-level electrical current to measure body composition. However, it is generally not recommended for individuals with implanted electronic medical devices, such as pacemakers, unless cleared by their healthcare provider.
How accurate is the InBody 570?
The InBody 570 is widely used in medical practices, wellness clinics, and fitness facilities to provide detailed body composition measurements. While no body composition method is perfect, consistent testing under similar conditions provides valuable information for tracking changes over time.
Can I use the scan if I'm pregnant?
Pregnant individuals should not undergo an InBody scan because of the electrical current used in the analysis.
Can children have an InBody scan?
Depending on age and clinical circumstances, the scan may be appropriate. Please contact our office to discuss whether it is suitable for your child.
Will my weight loss medication affect my scan?
Your medication itself does not interfere with the scan, but changes in hydration and body composition during treatment can affect your results—which is exactly why regular monitoring is helpful.
How long does the scan take?
The scan itself takes approximately one minute, while the entire appointment typically lasts less than 10 minutes.
