Hey there! So, if you’re curious about body composition scans, let me fill you in on what they are all about! At TFP 92 Harley Street, these scans help you figure out just how much bone, fat, and muscle mass you have. It’s a great starting point to kick off your health and fitness journey!
What to Expect During Your Scan
When you book a scan, you get a comfy 20-minute session with a senior sonographer or radiographer, and usually, you can get in within a day! The scan itself is super easy. It uses low-frequency X-rays to take a peek at your body composition without any need for preparation. Just make sure to let them know if you’re pregnant or think you might be.
During the scan, you’ll lie down while a scanning arm glides over you – no pain involved! You won’t even have to hop inside a machine or deal with any needles. Just stay still to get the best results. Most of the time, you can keep your clothes on, but if you have a lot of metal around your hips or spine, they might ask you to change.
Understanding Your Results
Once your DEXA scan is done, you’ll immediately see how much fat and muscle you have. This info is super handy for tracking your fitness goals. Want to lose fat? The scan tells you exactly how much you need to shed to reach your target weight. If you’re looking to bulk up, it’ll give you a solid measure of your current lean mass. Plus, there’s a dietitian available for extra help if you need it.
Cost and Booking Information
The cost for a body composition scan is £150, and they offer packages for tracking progress over time. It’s suggested to have scans every 12 to 16 weeks, but you can do it as soon as 8 weeks apart.
Booking is a breeze! You don’t need a referral or have to pay a consultation fee. Got questions? Feel free to ask!
