Safety & Health
Very safe. A BodySpec scan starts at 0.4 microsieverts - equivalent to eating 4 bananas. Safe for people with pacemakers. We advise pregnant women to avoid scans. One scan per day per safety guidelines. For multiple daily scans, we need a physician's note. More on DEXA radiation.
Weight: 350lbs (vans), 450lbs (storefronts). Height: 6'5 inches (vans), 6'6 inches (storefronts).
Wear workout clothes without metal (no zippers, underwire bras). Leave long hair down. No barium exams or contrast dye in the past 2 weeks. At least one clothing layer over underwear is required. For storefronts: arrive 15 minutes early if changing clothes. We don't allow changing in vans/DEXA rooms. For accuracy: scan under similar conditions each time. More on hydration and DEXA.
Anyone interested in better health. DEXA provides comprehensive body insights you can't get elsewhere. Minors welcome with parent/guardian completing intake form and attending the appointment.
DEXA Technology & Results
DEXA is the gold standard for body composition with medical-grade technology. We run daily quality assurance testing on all scanners to ensure +/- 0.5% accuracy before any client scans.
No. We provide whole-body composition scans, not diagnostic bone density exams. For diagnostic scans, consult your physician. The difference: Diagnostic scans measure specific sites (hip/spine) for osteoporosis diagnosis. Our whole-body scans compare your total bone density to age/gender averages for general health insights.
For lifestyle changes: 1 month after baseline, then regularly. For general health monitoring: every 3-4 months. Clients who book follow-up scans see better results because regular tracking promotes accountability. BodySpec offers monthly and quarterly memberships at the best per-scan prices.

Payment & Packages
Absolutely! Scan credits can be gifted or transferred to anyone. Each person needs their own appointment and [intake form] (https://intakes.bodyspec.com/dxa) though. Use the Gifting center on your Dashboard.
Yes, we accept HSA/FSA cards. Many providers will also accept your scan receipt.
Find your unique referral link on your Referrals page. When someone books and completes their first scan using your link, you both get $10 towards future scan credits. Credits never expire and there's no referral limit.
