Why DEXA in Miami

The scale lies. DEXA tells the truth.

Miami is full of body composition gimmicks — InBody scales at the gym, calipers at "longevity" clinics, smart scales at home. None of them come close to the precision of a clinical DEXA scan.

At Strong Health Miami, you get the same scan technology used in clinical research, performed at our Brickell clinic, with results you can use to track real progress on TRT, GLP-1 weight loss, peptide therapy, or your own training.

1–2% margin of error vs. 5–8% for BIA scales

Region-by-region breakdown (arms, legs, trunk)

Bone density scoring (T-score, Z-score)

Visceral fat measurement, not just total body fat

FDA-approved, low-dose, repeatable for trend data

Your Report

What you get from a Strong Health DEXA scan

Your DEXA report goes far beyond a body fat percentage. Here's everything included with every scan at our Miami clinic.

Total & Regional Body Fat %

Body fat broken down by arms, legs, trunk, and android/gynoid regions. Track exactly where you're losing fat.

Lean Muscle Mass

Pound-precise lean mass for each limb. Verify TRT, peptide, or training programs are actually building muscle.

Visceral Adipose Tissue

The dangerous fat around your organs, separated from subcutaneous. The single best metric for metabolic risk.

Bone Mineral Density

T-score and Z-score for hip and spine. Catch early osteopenia before it becomes osteoporosis.

Symmetry Analysis

Left vs. right comparisons by limb. Spot muscle imbalances from old injuries or training asymmetries.

Trend Tracking

Side-by-side comparison reports across every scan, so you can see real change over months and years.

GLP-1 weight loss

Make sure semaglutide or tirzepatide is preserving muscle while you lose fat. Critical for long-term metabolic health.

Miami Patient Reviews

Real data from real Miami patients

Verified Patient

I've been on TRT for eight months. The scale only moved 6 lbs but my DEXA showed I gained 14 lbs of lean mass and lost 20 lbs of fat. I would have given up without that data. The Brickell location is five minutes from my condo.

Carlos M.

Brickell, Miami

Verified Patient

I was on tirzepatide and worried I was losing muscle. Strong Health's DEXA scan confirmed I'd kept almost all my lean mass while losing 32 lbs of fat. That's exactly what I needed to see to keep going.

Andrea P.

Coral Gables, Miami

Verified Patient

I've used InBody scales at my gym for years and the numbers were all over the place. The DEXA report I got from Strong Health was on a different level — broken down by arm, leg, trunk, plus visceral fat and bone density. Worth every dollar.

Miami DEXA FAQs

Common questions about DEXA scans in Miami

Where can I get a DEXA scan in Miami?

Strong Health offers DEXA scan body composition analysis at our Brickell clinic at 1000 Brickell Plaza, Miami, FL 33131. We're centrally located in the heart of Miami's financial district with validated parking and Metrorail access (Brickell station, 0.3 mi). Walk-ins are welcome and same-week appointments are typically available. Call (305) 555-7876 to book.

How much does a DEXA scan cost in Miami?

A body composition DEXA scan at our Miami clinic is competitively priced for the South Florida market, with transparent direct-pay pricing and no hidden fees. Most patients pay under $200 per scan, and bundled pricing is available if you plan to track progress with multiple scans over the year. Bone density DEXA scans (for osteoporosis screening) may be covered by insurance for eligible patients.

What does a DEXA scan measure?

A DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scan precisely measures three things across your entire body: lean muscle mass (in pounds, broken down by limb and trunk), fat mass (total and visceral), and bone mineral density. It's the clinical gold standard for body composition with a margin of error of roughly 1–2%, far more accurate than BIA scales or skinfold calipers.

How long does a DEXA scan take at your Miami clinic?

The actual scan takes 10–15 minutes. Plan for about 30 minutes total at our Brickell location, including check-in, the scan itself, and a brief consultation to walk through your results. There are no injections, no enclosed spaces, and the radiation dose is roughly 1/10th of a standard chest X-ray.

Do I need a doctor's referral for a DEXA scan in Miami?

No referral is needed for a body composition DEXA scan at our Miami clinic. We accept walk-ins and self-pay patients. If you're already a Strong Health patient on a TRT, peptide, or weight loss protocol, your physician can order the scan as part of your treatment plan and review the results with you at your next visit.

How should I prepare for my DEXA scan?

Wear comfortable clothing without metal (no zippers, underwire bras, or metal buttons). Avoid eating a large meal within 2 hours of the scan, hydrate normally, skip calcium supplements for 24 hours, and avoid intense exercise the night before. Consistency between scans matters more than perfect prep — try to repeat the same conditions for follow-up scans.

How often should I get a DEXA scan?

For active body recomposition (TRT, peptides, weight loss program), every 3–6 months is ideal. For general health monitoring, once per year is sufficient. Scanning more frequently than every 90 days rarely shows meaningful changes and wastes resources. We recommend using our Miami clinic for every follow-up scan, as the same scanner produces the most reliable trend data.

Is DEXA the best body composition test in Miami?

DEXA is widely considered the clinical gold standard for body composition analysis. Compared to BIA scales (5–8% error), skinfold calipers (highly operator-dependent), and InBody machines (sensitive to hydration), DEXA offers 1–2% precision with regional breakdowns that no other commonly available method can match. Underwater hydrostatic weighing is comparable but rarely available in Miami.

Can a DEXA scan track results from TRT or GLP-1 weight loss?

Yes. DEXA is the most accurate way to verify that testosterone therapy is producing real lean mass gains and that GLP-1 weight loss (semaglutide, tirzepatide) is preserving muscle while reducing fat. The scale only tells you total weight; DEXA tells you exactly where it's coming from. Many of our Miami TRT and weight loss patients use DEXA scans every 3–6 months to track progress objectively.

Is the DEXA scan safe?

Yes. A DEXA scan uses an extremely low dose of ionizing radiation — roughly 1/10th of a standard chest X-ray and less than a single day of natural background exposure in South Florida. It's FDA-approved for repeated use and considered one of the safest medical imaging technologies available.
