Stop Guessing What Your Body Is Made Of

Your bathroom scale tells you one number. That number is nearly useless. A 185-pound person at 12% body fat and a 185-pound person at 30% body fat are not in the same universe of health risk, performance capacity, or metabolic function — but the scale treats them identically.

DEXA — Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry — eliminates the guesswork. It is the gold standard of body composition measurement, used in clinical research and medical diagnostics worldwide. At Plus10 in Flower Mound, we bring that standard to anyone who wants to know exactly what their body is made of and what to do about it.

True Body Fat %

Measured to precision no other consumer method can match

Regional Lean Mass

Each arm, leg, and trunk — reveals asymmetries and imbalances

⚠️

Visceral Fat (VAT)

The most metabolically dangerous fat — invisible to your scale

🦴

Bone Mineral Density

Clinical T-scores for osteoporosis screening and monitoring

What a DEXA Scan Measures

A DEXA scan uses two low-dose X-ray beams at different energy levels to distinguish between three types of tissue: bone, lean soft tissue (muscle, organs, water), and fat. The scan produces a detailed, region-by-region map of your entire body.

Total body fat percentage — your true body fat number, not an estimate or a range. A measurement.
Lean mass by region — exact lean tissue mass in each arm, each leg, and your trunk individually, revealing asymmetries that indicate injury risk or training imbalances.
Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) — the fat stored around your internal organs, directly linked to insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, and systemic inflammation.
Bone mineral density — T-scores comparing your bone density to the healthy young adult reference population.
Regional fat distribution — android (abdominal) versus gynoid (hip/thigh), which carries distinct health implications.
Fat mass index and lean mass index — normalized metrics useful for tracking changes over time.

Who Needs a DEXA Scan

Anyone serious about changing their body composition. If you are trying to lose fat, gain muscle, or recomposition, you need a baseline accurate enough to detect real change. A 2-pound shift in lean mass over 8 weeks will not show on a bathroom scale, but it will show on a DEXA scan.

People managing metabolic health. Visceral fat is a leading indicator of metabolic syndrome. A DEXA scan quantifies the underlying issue with precision that a tape measure cannot.

Athletes optimizing performance. Body composition directly affects power-to-weight ratio, endurance capacity, and recovery.

Adults over 40 tracking bone health. Bone density declines with age, and the decline accelerates for women after menopause. DEXA establishes your baseline and monitors changes over time.

What to Expect During Your Scan

Check-in and preparation. Arrive in comfortable clothing free of metal. Total prep time: 5 minutes.
The scan itself. Lie flat on the DEXA table while the scanning arm passes over your body. Takes 6 to 10 minutes. No injection, no contrast, no enclosed space. Radiation exposure is less than a cross-country flight.
Results review. We walk through every data point, explain what the numbers mean, how they compare to reference populations, and what to do next.

Preparation Guidelines

Wear metal-free clothing. Avoid eating a large meal or exercising heavily within 2 hours of your scan. Consistency in preparation improves accuracy of comparisons between scans over time.

Why Plus10’s DEXA Service Is Different

You can get a DEXA scan at a mobile van or pop-up clinic for $39. You will get a printout and be back in your car in 15 minutes. That printout will show you numbers without context — and context is everything.

At Plus10, your DEXA results integrate directly into your broader health and performance profile alongside VO2 max data, metabolic rate testing, lactate threshold results, and continuous glucose monitor data.

Our on-site Nurse Practitioner can evaluate your results through a clinical lens. If your visceral fat is elevated, if your bone density is below expected levels, if your lean mass distribution suggests a hormonal or metabolic issue — you get medical-grade interpretation and guidance in the same visit.

We also track your data longitudinally. When you return for a follow-up scan, we compare results against your baseline with precision — exactly how much lean mass you gained, how much visceral fat you lost, whether your bone density shifted.

Body composition is the foundation of every meaningful fitness and health decision. Without accurate data, you are building on sand. A DEXA scan at Plus10 gives you the truth — and a team that helps you use it.
