Is DEXA Just DEXA?

At Prolean Wellness, we’ve been using the power of DEXA scanning to build custom weight loss and wellness plans since 2009. The data from each scan is not only used to maximize fat loss but, more importantly, to preserve and foster muscle growth. Over time, we track our clients’ progress, comparing results from each scan to help adjust their program and drive even better outcomes.

By 12 weeks, the transformations are remarkable! Clients don’t just feel the changes in their bodies—they can see them. The graphic breakdown of fat, muscle, and bone mass is a powerful visual motivator, giving tangible proof of all their hard work.

Can You Get a DEXA Scan Anywhere?

Many people assume all DEXA scans are the same. But that’s far from the truth. While all DEXA scanners rely on the same basic technology, the accuracy and results can vary widely depending on the model and manufacturer. That’s why experts recommend getting your body composition measured consistently on the same machine. Different brands and models may use slightly different techniques, leading to potential discrepancies in results.

Why Our DEXA Scanner is the Best

At Prolean Wellness, we believe in offering the best to our clients. That’s why we use the Hologic Horizon 64-head DEXA scanner—the most accurate scanner on the market. One key feature of this machine is its size, making it more inclusive for our larger clients, with a weight capacity of up to 450 pounds.

In comparison, many facilities use the GE Lunar Prodigy, a more common and lower-cost option with only 16 scanning heads and a weight capacity limited to 350 pounds. While these machines are fine for some purposes, they simply can’t match the accuracy of a 64-head unit like ours.

Why Accurate DEXA Scanning Matters

A DEXA Body Composition scan is considered the gold standard in body composition measurement. Whether you’re on a weight loss journey, focused on gaining muscle, or simply improving your overall health, accurate data is crucial. Starting with a precise baseline scan ensures you can measure and track your progress in a meaningful way.

If you’re committing your time and energy to your health, why settle for less? At Prolean Wellness, we offer the most accurate DEXA scan available—and often at a lower price than what you’d pay for less accurate scans elsewhere. Plus, we offer flexible scheduling, with same-day appointments often available.
