Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about BodyMetrix Ultrasound Scan.

The BodyMetrix uses FDA-approved ultrasound to measure subcutaneous fat thickness and muscle thickness at multiple sites, producing an accurate body fat percentage and lean mass estimate. Technicians follow standardized protocols to ensure reliable, repeatable measurements for tracking changes.

Yes. The scan is non-invasive and safe for most patients, including those on Semaglutide. It helps differentiate fat loss from muscle loss so clinicians and trainers can adjust nutrition and exercise to protect lean mass during treatment.

Appointments typically last 15–30 minutes at KIS Laser Clinic, including brief consultation and measurement. The quick scan captures multiple sites efficiently, and results are reviewed with you immediately so you can track progress and plan next steps.

For most clients we recommend a baseline scan then repeat every 4–8 weeks to accurately capture fat and muscle changes. Frequency may be adjusted for Semaglutide patients or intensive training phases to closely monitor lean mass.

Yes. BodyMetrix provides site-specific measurements that reveal regional fat layers and muscle thickness, allowing precise assessment of where fat loss occurs. Serial scans illustrate redistribution or targeted muscle changes over time for informed program adjustments.

No special preparation is required. Wear light, form-fitting clothing and avoid heavy lotions or oils on scan areas. Hydration is recommended for consistent readings; we’ll give any additional instructions when you schedule.
