InBody 120 Body Composition Scan

Know your body beyond the bathroom scale. The InBody 120 delivers medical-grade bioelectrical impedance data mapping skeletal muscle mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat, and fluid distribution in under 60 seconds.

Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM)

Measures exact kg of muscle across your torso, arms, and legs to ensure slimming protocols burn fat without degrading lean muscle tissue.

Percent Body Fat (PBF)

Distinguishes between total weight and fat mass, giving you an accurate biological fat percentage rather than deceptive bathroom scale weight.

Visceral Fat Level (VFL)

Evaluates deep abdominal fat surrounding internal organs—a key health indicator linked to cardiovascular health and metabolic rate.

Total Body Water (TBW)

Tracks intracellular and extracellular water distribution to detect water retention, swelling, and systemic inflammation.

Segmental Lean Analysis

Individual breakdown of muscle balance across left arm, right arm, trunk, left leg, and right leg to identify structural imbalances.

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)

Calculates the exact number of calories your body burns at rest to optimize your personalized nutritional and weight management protocol.

Why Standard Bathroom Scales Are Misleading

When embarking on a slimming or body sculpting journey, watching the scale drop doesn't automatically mean success. You could be losing valuable muscle or water mass while body fat remains unchanged.

• Accurate Fat vs. Muscle Tracking: Ensure your treatment plan targets stubborn subcutaneous and visceral fat.
• No Pinching or Discomfort: Completely non-invasive with zero pinching, radiation, or skin contact gel.
• Visual Trend Reports: Compare baseline scans against follow-up scans to visually celebrate true progress.

How to Prepare for Your Scan

What is an InBody 120 Scan?

The InBody 120 is a medical-grade Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) device that sends safe, low-level electrical currents through the body. Because muscle, fat, and water conduct electricity differently, it provides a precise multi-frequency report of your exact body composition within 60 seconds.

Why is InBody better than a standard scale or BMI?

Standard scales only tell you total weight, failing to distinguish between fat loss and muscle loss. BMI is an outdated height-to-weight ratio that often misclassifies athletic or muscular individuals. InBody reveals your true body composition, showing exactly how much body fat and muscle mass you carry.

How much does an InBody Scan cost in Pretoria?

At Bold Slim × Ntivo Clinic in Garsfontein, a standalone InBody 120 scan with a detailed clinical printout and consultation is R350. It is complimentary with your first slimming consultation or multi-session transformation package.

How often should I get an InBody Scan?

We recommend scanning every 2 to 4 weeks during a body contouring or slimming programme to track fat loss progress, monitor muscle retention, and adjust your treatment protocols dynamically.
