An InBody body composition scan at WellNest in Cape Town is R500 per scan, which covers the analysis and a detailed report of your results.

You can book a single scan to set a baseline or return to track changes over time. We confirm the price and what is included when you book.

An InBody scan uses bioelectrical impedance. A small electrical signal passes through your body, and the device uses the measured resistance to estimate body water, muscle and fat.

You stand barefoot on the platform and hold the handgrips while the measurement runs. It is non-invasive, with no needles, and our team walks you through the resulting report.

If you have an implanted electronic medical device such as a pacemaker, contact us before booking and obtain advice from your treating physician before testing. InBody does not recommend body composition testing during pregnancy because pregnancy-related changes affect the results.

Keep the time of day and preparation similar for each scan. Maintain your normal fluid intake the day before and wait at least three hours after your last meal. Test before exercise, once you have fully recovered from any recent strenuous session.

Use the toilet beforehand, remove shoes, socks and heavy accessories, and avoid lotion on your hands and feet. Stand upright for five to ten minutes before testing.

Follow any personal medical advice about food or fluids. If these instructions do not suit your circumstances, contact us before booking.

The right interval depends on your goals and plan. InBody recommends repeat testing every two to four weeks under similar conditions. This is manufacturer guidance, rather than a requirement for everyone.

A WellNest clinician can help decide when another scan would be useful. Consistent preparation and hydration make results easier to compare over time.
