- How long does a DEXA scan take?
- We schedule 30 minutes for your DEXA appointment. The scan itself takes about 6–10 minutes; we dedicate the remaining time to reviewing your results with you, so you leave our Charlottesville lab with a clear understanding of your body fat distribution, lean muscle mass, and more.
- What should I wear for my DEXA scan in Charlottesville?
- To ensure the most accurate results, wear comfortable athletic clothing without metal zippers, buttons, or underwires — leggings or gym shorts and a T-shirt work well. You remain fully clothed throughout, but we will ask you to remove jewelry and watches.
- How often should I get a DEXA scan to track progress?
- To accurately track changes in muscle mass or body fat, we recommend a follow-up scan every 3 to 6 months. That is a sufficient window to see the impact of your nutrition and training adjustments, and returning clients get a discounted rate on re-assessments.
