See Your Body Clearly: GE Lunar DEXA Scanner
A scale tells you nothing about whether you're gaining muscle, losing fat, or protecting your bones. Our GE Lunar DEXA scanner provides the gold-standard precision imaging you need to see exactly what's changing in your body — and prove your protocols are working. Scans are just $55.
What Is GE Lunar DEXA Scanner?
DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) using the GE Lunar system is the clinical gold standard for non-invasive body composition analysis and bone density measurement. In a single 10-minute scan, we generate precise measurements of lean muscle mass and distribution, total and regional body fat percentage, visceral adipose tissue (VAT — the dangerous deep abdominal fat linked to metabolic disease), and bone mineral density (BMD) for fracture risk assessment. The precision of DEXA far exceeds standard scales, calipers, or bioelectrical impedance — making it the essential tracking tool for anyone on hormone, peptide, or metabolic optimization protocols.
The Benefits of GE Lunar DEXA Scanner
- Objective Progress Tracking: Quantify actual lean mass gains and fat loss from your protocols — not guesswork from a scale
- Visceral Fat Assessment: Measure the metabolically dangerous deep abdominal fat that standard BMI calculations completely miss
- Bone Density Monitoring: Detect early bone loss and monitor the protective effects of hormone therapy on skeletal health
- Protocol Optimization: DEXA data directly guides adjustments to hormone, metabolic, and fitness protocols for maximum effect
- Low Radiation: A full DEXA scan exposes you to approximately 1/10th the radiation of a standard chest X-ray

Conditions & Areas Treated
- Hormone Optimization Tracking: Measure lean mass preservation and fat loss with HRT/TRT to confirm hormones are producing the expected body composition benefits.
- GLP-1 & Weight Loss Monitoring: Distinguish between fat loss and muscle loss during GLP-1 therapy to ensure body composition — not just weight — is improving.
- Osteoporosis Screening & Prevention: Baseline and annual bone mineral density scans for patients on HRT, at risk for osteoporosis, or managing established bone loss.
- Visceral Fat Risk Assessment: Quantify VAT levels as a direct cardiometabolic risk marker — more predictive than waist circumference or BMI alone.
- Longevity & Sarcopenia Monitoring: Track muscle mass preservation over time for patients on longevity protocols — the single most important predictor of healthspan.
Your Treatment Journey
- Comprehensive Consultation
Your provider orders the DEXA scan as part of your clinical protocol — typically at baseline and at 3–6 month intervals to track changes.
- The Treatment Process
You lie fully clothed on the scan table for approximately 10 minutes while the scanner passes overhead. There is no injection, no claustrophobia, and no special preparation required. Low-radiation X-ray technology generates a complete body composition map.
- Aftercare & Recovery
Results are reviewed with your provider immediately or at your next visit. The data is integrated into your protocol — adjusting hormone doses, nutrition, exercise targets, or metabolic therapies based on what the scan reveals.
Frequently Asked Questions
DEXA is dramatically more accurate. Consumer bioelectrical impedance scales (BIA) have error rates of 2–8% body fat — enough to mask real changes entirely. DEXA has an error margin of less than 1%, showing actual tissue-level changes.
For active protocol monitoring (hormone therapy, GLP-1, longevity programs), every 3–6 months. For bone density monitoring without active treatment changes, annually is standard.
Avoid heavy exercise the day before. Wear comfortable, metal-free clothing. No special diet or fasting is required. Inform the technician if there is any possibility of pregnancy.
Yes. A full-body DEXA scan delivers approximately 1–10 microsieverts of radiation — comparable to a few hours of normal background radiation and far less than a standard chest X-ray.
