InBody Scan in Delray Beach, FL | Body Composition Analysis
Stop Guessing. Measure What Matters.
The scale only tells part of the story.
An InBody 570 scan provides a detailed body composition analysis, including body fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass, visceral fat, total body water, lean body mass, and estimated basal metabolic rate.
Whether you’re losing weight, building muscle, taking GLP-1 medications, or simply tracking your fitness progress, the InBody 570 provides detailed body composition data to help you make informed decisions about your health.
What Is an InBody 570 Scan?
The InBody 570 is an advanced, medical-grade body composition analyzer that provides a detailed look beyond the number on the scale. Using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), it measures body fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass, visceral fat, lean body mass, body water, segmental muscle distribution, and basal metabolic rate in approximately 60 seconds.
Unlike body weight or BMI alone, an InBody Scan helps identify what your weight is actually made of, making it easier to track meaningful changes in fat, muscle, hydration, and overall body composition over time.
At The Best Injector in Delray Beach, we use InBody 570 testing for medical weight loss, GLP-1 treatment monitoring, fitness and muscle-building goals, and overall wellness optimization.

What Does an InBody Scan Measure?
An InBody Scan provides a detailed breakdown of your body composition—not just your total weight. The measurements below cover the key metrics the InBody 570 evaluates.
Body Fat Percentage
Measures how much of your total body weight comes from fat tissue, helping you see whether you’re losing fat or simply losing weight.
Skeletal Muscle Mass
Reflects the muscle responsible for movement, strength, and metabolism. Monitoring it helps confirm muscle is being preserved as fat decreases.
Lean Body Mass
Includes everything except fat—muscle, bone, organs, and water—showing whether weight changes are coming from fat rather than lean tissue.
Visceral Fat
The fat stored around internal organs. Higher levels are linked to cardiometabolic risk, which body weight alone can’t show.
Body Water
Reflects fluid amount and distribution in the body. Consistent testing conditions help ensure accurate comparisons between scans.
Basal Metabolic Rate
Estimates daily calories used at rest to support essential functions, offering useful context for nutrition and weight management discussions.
Segmental Muscle Analysis
Evaluates muscle distribution across each arm, each leg, and the trunk for a more detailed view than total body weight provides.
Progress Reports
Repeat scans are compared over time so that patients can track meaningful trends in fat, muscle, and hydration rather than pounds alone.
Every InBody Scan at The Best Injector includes a personalized review of your results so you understand what each measurement means and how it relates to your individual goals.

Why We Use the InBody 570
Body weight alone doesn’t show whether changes come from fat, muscle, or water. The InBody 570 provides detailed body composition data that allows us to evaluate progress more meaningfully over time.
For patients participating in medical weight management, including treatment with Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, InBody 570 body composition analysis can provide additional information about changes in body fat and lean mass over time.
At The Best Injector, InBody testing is also valuable when incorporating Peptide Therapy into a wellness plan, building muscle, or working toward specific body composition goals.
For patients using GLP-1 medications, monitoring body composition can be particularly helpful for evaluating fat loss while keeping muscle preservation part of the overall treatment strategy.
InBody Scans During GLP-1 Medical Weight Loss
Weight loss is only one part of evaluating progress during GLP-1 medical weight loss. Scale weight alone cannot show whether changes are coming from fat or lean mass, which is why body-composition monitoring is a valuable part of a medically informed weight management plan. For patients using semaglutide or tirzepatide, tracking body composition, including fat loss and muscle preservation, provides a clearer picture of progress than weight alone.
Patients using GLP-1 medications can also learn more about why body composition monitoring may be useful during treatment in our guide to Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and InBody scans in Delray Beach.
At The Best Injector, InBody 570 testing allows us to monitor these changes throughout medical weight loss and make more informed recommendations based on each patient’s progress and goals.

InBody Scan vs. BMI: Which Provides More Meaningful Information?
For decades, Body Mass Index (BMI) has served as a quick screening tool to categorize individuals by height and weight. While BMI can be useful for population studies, it has important limitations when evaluating an individual’s health because it does not measure body composition.
BMI is calculated using only height and weight, so it cannot distinguish between body fat and lean muscle.
An InBody Scan goes beyond weight alone by measuring:
- Body Fat Percentage
- Skeletal Muscle Mass
- Lean Body Mass
- Visceral Fat
- Body Water
- Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
These measurements give a more complete picture of your body composition and let you track meaningful changes over time. Instead of simply watching the number on the scale decrease, you can see whether you’re losing body fat, maintaining muscle, improving metabolic health, and moving toward your personal health goals.
At The Best Injector, we use InBody body composition analysis because it provides actionable information to guide medical weight loss programs, monitor GLP-1 treatment progress, and support long-term wellness in ways BMI alone simply cannot.
| BMI | InBody Scan |
|---|---|
| Uses only height and weight | Provides detailed body composition estimates |
| Cannot measure body fat | Measures body fat percentage |
| Cannot measure muscle mass | Measures skeletal muscle mass |
| Does not evaluate visceral fat | Estimates visceral fat levels |
| Cannot distinguish fat from muscle | Separates fat, muscle, and body water |
| Provides a single number | Provides a comprehensive body composition report |
| Limited for tracking weight loss progress | Useful for monitoring fat loss and muscle preservation over time |
InBody Scan vs. DEXA
Both the InBody Scan and a DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scan can provide valuable body composition information. DEXA has long been considered a reference standard for measuring body fat and bone density. At the same time, the InBody 570 offers a fast, non-invasive, and practical way to monitor body composition regularly without radiation exposure.
| Feature | InBody 570 | DEXA Scan |
|---|---|---|
| Measures body fat percentage | ✓ | ✓ |
| Measures skeletal muscle mass | ✓ | ✓ |
| Estimates visceral fat | ✓ | ✓ |
| Measures bone density | ✗ | ✓ |
| Radiation exposure | None | Low-dose X-ray |
| Test time | About 60 seconds | Approximately 10–20 minutes |
| Repeat testing | Easy to perform regularly | Less practical for frequent monitoring |
| Preparation | Minimal | May require scheduling at an imaging facility |
| Best for | Tracking body composition and weight loss progress | Bone density evaluation and detailed body composition analysis |
If your healthcare provider needs to evaluate bone density or diagnose osteoporosis, a DEXA scan remains the preferred test.
InBody Scan vs. Smart Scales
Many bathroom smart scales estimate body composition using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) through the feet only, using predictive algorithms that can vary with hydration, meal timing, and foot placement. The medical-grade InBody 570 uses multi-frequency BIA with eight-point tactile electrodes measured through both the hands and feet, providing individual readings for each arm, each leg, and the trunk.
| Smart Scale | InBody 570 |
|---|---|
| Primarily designed for home use | Medical-grade body composition analyzer |
| Uses foot-to-foot measurements | Uses hand-to-foot, eight-point electrode technology |
| Estimates body composition using predictive algorithms | Directly measures multiple body segments with advanced multi-frequency analysis |
| Results may vary more based on hydration and testing conditions | Designed to provide consistent, repeatable measurements when testing conditions are standardized |
| Limited body composition information | Comprehensive analysis of muscle, fat, body water, visceral fat, and metabolism |
| Helpful for general trends | Useful for tracking medical weight loss, fitness, and long-term body composition changes |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an InBody Scan?
An InBody Scan is a medical-grade body composition test that measures body fat, muscle mass, visceral fat, body water, and metabolism in approximately 60 seconds. Unlike a traditional scale, it provides a detailed breakdown of what your body weight is made of.
How accurate is an InBody Scan?
The InBody 570 is considered one of the most advanced bioelectrical impedance devices available. When performed under consistent conditions, it provides highly reliable body composition measurements for tracking progress over time.
How long does an InBody Scan take?
The scan itself takes approximately 60 seconds, while reviewing your results typically takes only a few additional minutes.
Should I fast before an InBody Scan?
While fasting is not required, we recommend avoiding food for 2–3 hours before your appointment for the most consistent results.
Can I drink water before my scan?
Yes. Staying normally hydrated actually helps improve measurement consistency. Avoid excessive water intake immediately before your appointment.
How often should I have an InBody Scan?
Most patients benefit from repeat scans every 4–8 weeks when actively working toward weight loss, muscle gain, or fitness goals.
Can an InBody measure visceral fat?
Yes. The InBody 570 estimates visceral fat levels, which can provide insight into metabolic health and help monitor progress during lifestyle changes.
Can I schedule only an InBody Scan?
Yes. Many patients schedule standalone InBody body composition scans, while others include them as part of their medical weight loss or wellness program.
Is an InBody Scan better than BMI?
BMI estimates health based only on height and weight, while an InBody Scan measures body fat, muscle mass, and other important health metrics. This provides a much more complete picture of your body composition.
Does insurance cover an InBody Scan?
Most insurance plans do not cover body composition analysis. Our team will review current pricing before your appointment.
Can I have an InBody Scan while taking semaglutide or tirzepatide?
Yes. InBody testing can be particularly valuable during Semaglutide or Tirzepatide treatment because it allows us to monitor changes in body fat and skeletal muscle mass rather than relying on body weight alone.
Can athletes benefit from an InBody Scan?
Yes. Athletes frequently use InBody testing to monitor muscle development, hydration, recovery, and body composition changes throughout training.
Do you review my results with me?
Yes. Every scan includes a review of your results and recommendations based on your goals, whether you’re focused on weight loss, muscle gain, or overall wellness.
Can athletes benefit from an InBody Scan?
