Body composition measurements with InBody technology can, with accuracy and precision, look beyond weight and traditional body mass index to determine and help monitor distribution of body fat, body water, and lean body mass.
Along with tetra-polar 8-point tactile electrodes, InBody technology uses a direct segmental multi-frequency bioelectric impedance method that is not dependent on empirical estimations and can provide accurate segmental lean analysis.
The InBody device uses a direct segmental multi-frequency bioelectric analysis method (DSM-BIA), a patented technology, to precisely measure body composition by sending multiple electrical voltages through the inner body, resulting in up to six different impedance readings for the trunk and four limbs.
The innovative in-depth analysis of the InBody exam yields accurate results for body composition outputs, such as body fat mass, skeletal muscle mass, and percent body fat, and is able to measure segmental lean mass as well.
​
Your total body composition is calculated and broken down into different components. Depending on the device, results are displayed for such outputs as body fat mass, percent body fat, skeletal muscle mass, lean body mass, total body water, intracellular water, extracellular water, ECW/TBW, weight, and body mass index.
The device also displays a segmental lean analysis and an estimated basal metabolic rate. Over time, these results can be monitored to better understand how changes in diet, lifestyle, exercise, or other interventions are influencing your body composition

BEFORE MEASUREMENT
​
To observe changes of the human body through body composition analysis, it is crucial to perform the analysis each time under the same conditions, temperature, posture, etc. Bear in mind, the following factors affect the results of body composition analysis, and as a result, affect the reproducibility of analysis.
​
-
Make sure not to use this equipment with those that have medical electrical devices, such as a pacemaker.
-
Do not eat before measurement. Measure 2 hours after a meal or on an empty stomach.
-
Do not exercise or perform any physical activities before testing.
-
Do not take a bath or shower prior to measurement.
-
Perform measurement after urination, if possible. Waste in the body means the analysis will be less accurate.
-
Measurement should ideally be done before mid-day.
-
For females, avoid having measurement during a menstrual period as total body water will be higher than normal.
-
Perform measurement under normal temperature conditions.

WHAT IS MESOTHERAPY FAT REDUCTION?Mesotherapy is an innovative alternative to liposuction that involves a series of micro-administrations that dissolve unwanted areas of fat.
-
HOW DOES IT WORK?Treatments are delivered into the targeted treatment areas. The fat cells absorb the PCDC and become slightly inflamed. The fat cells break down within a few days and are eliminated via the body’s natural processes.
-
WHAT BODY AREAS CAN BE TREATED?Areas that can be treated with Mesotherapy include the inner and outer thighs, buttocks, love handles, back of the arms, the upper and lower abdomen, the chin and jowls, knees and upper and lower back.
-
WHAT CAN IT BE USED FOR?It can also be used for various conditions such as localized fat reduction, stretch marks, skin tightening, fatty breast reduction in men and cellulite. It also improves skin tone and elasticity, and increases collagen production
-
ARE TREATMENTS PAINFUL?There may be some localized discomfort upon the treatment area, and a minor burning sensation immediately following the treatment.
-
WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS?Swelling will occur in the treated area, and soreness and inflammation may be experienced for a few days after the treatment. It is important to bear in mind that these inflammatory side effects produce a tighter and smoother overlying skin.
-
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?On the average, Clients begin to see a noticeable improvement after 3 – 5 days.
-
WHAT RESTRICTIONS ARE THERE?For the first 2 to 3 days after a treatment, alcohol consumption is not recommended. Also avoid heat like, a sauna, sun bed, direct sun and massages.
-
HOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM LIPOSUCTION?Both procedures remove unwanted fat. However, Mesotherapy is a non-invasive procedure; unlike liposuction, there is no anaesthesia, no surgery, and no downtime.
