InBody 580 Body Composition Scanning

Body Composition Scanning for Weight Loss | Pasadena, CA

The InBody 580 is a cutting-edge body composition analyzer that goes far beyond traditional weight measurement. It uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to provide a detailed breakdown of your body, giving you insights into your overall health, fitness, and progress.

What Your Body Composition Scan Measures

Weight – Total body weight.
Skeletal Muscle Mass – The amount of muscle attached to bones.
Body Fat Mass – Total fat in your body.
Body Fat Percentage – Ratio of fat to total body weight.
Visceral Fat Level – Fat surrounding your internal organs.
Segmental Lean Analysis – Muscle mass in each limb and the trunk.
Body Water Balance – Intracellular and extracellular water distribution.
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) – Calories your body burns at rest.
Body Mass Index (BMI) – A general indicator of weight status.
Impedance – Electrical resistance data used for accurate measurement.

How A Body Composition Scan Actually Works

The InBody 580 uses multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance. A safe, low-level electrical current is sent through the body. Because different tissues (fat, muscle, water) resist the current differently, the device calculates their proportions with high precision.

Why The InBody 580 Scan Gives You Better Data

Track fitness and training progress
Monitor fat loss vs. muscle gain
Guide nutrition and hydration strategies
Evaluate rehabilitation or physical therapy progress
Personalize health and wellness plans

How To Prepare For Your Body Composition Scan

To ensure accurate results:

Avoid eating or drinking 2-3 hours before the test
Use the restroom before testing
Avoid exercise 6-12 hours prior
Remove shoes and socks
Avoid testing during menstruation (for women)
Stay hydrated, but not excessively right before the test

Who Benefits Most From Body Composition Scanning

Body Composition Insights You Can Act On

The InBody 580 performs segmental analysis, assessing each limb and your trunk to reveal its muscle mass, body fat, body water balance, and cellular health. This gives you insight into:

Your current health status
Potential areas of inflammation
Your risk of chronic disease even if you have a normal BMI.
Assess for conditions like sarcopenic obesity, sometimes referred to as 'normal-weight obesity,' where individuals may appear lean but have low muscle mass and high body fat.

Use Body Composition Scanning To Guide Health

The InBody 580 analyzes your body composition in just 30 seconds and provides you with comprehensive results that you can use to track your health journey.
By monitoring your Result Sheet printout or the InBody App, you’ll be able to note any changes in:

Skeletal Muscle Mass
Percent Body Fat
Segmental Body Water
Visceral Fat Area
Cellular health (via Segmental Phase Angle)
Hydration levels (via the BIVA Graph)
And more!
