DEXA SCAN The Gold Standard of body composition:

Explore your body's complexities with dexa scans

Precision data for sustainable results. Body composition is about more than just the number on a traditional scale. At Red Rock Health Optimization, we use medical-grade DEXA technology to see beneath the surface, providing the precise data you need to optimize your fitness, nutrition, and metabolic health.

Our scanning options

We offer the most accurate body composition technology available, tailored to help you reach your specific physique and longevity goals.

Full body composition
(the progress tracker)

DEXA (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry) provides a regional map of your body, identifying exactly where you carry fat and muscle, including dangerous visceral fat around your organs

Best For: Tracking real progress in weight loss, bodybuilding, or general wellness.

Comprehensive longevity study
(bone density + muscle)

A deeper clinical dive that adds bone mineral density (BMD) testing to your composition report. This helps identify risks for osteopenia or osteoporosis while tracking skeletal health over time.

Best For: Individuals over 50, athletes, or those concerned with long-term skeletal integrity.

The Red Rock
data standard

Unlike “smart scales” or skinfold calipers that rely on formulas and guesswork, we prioritize clinical accuracy. We don’t just estimate your body fat percentage; we measure it with medical-grade precision.

Muscle Preservation:

We use DEXA scans to ensure your weight loss comes from fat, not lean muscle mass.

Visceral fat detection:

We measure "hidden" fat surrounding your internal organs, a key indicator of cardiovascular and metabolic risk.

BONE DENSITY
ANALYSIS

Track bone health over time to assess fracture risk, hormonal health, and age-related bone loss, especially during weight loss or GLP-1 therapy.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I prepare for my scan?

Wear comfortable, workout-style clothing without metal zippers or underwires. You can eat and drink normally, though we recommend being consistent with your hydration for repeat scans.

Is there radiation exposure?

The radiation dose from a DEXA scan is extremely low—less than the natural background radiation you receive during a cross-country flight. It is considered very safe for regular health tracking.
