The number on a traditional scale only tells part of the story.
At Ashley McFarland Aesthetics, we use the SECA body composition scanner to give wellness patients a more complete picture of what is happening inside the body. The scan can measure skeletal muscle mass, fat mass, visceral fat, and total body water.
This information is especially important for patients participating in a medically guided weight-management program. Weight loss alone isn’t the only goal. We also want to pay attention to muscle mass and support healthier changes over time.
Regular scans allow our wellness provider to compare results and identify trends. If body weight is changing but muscle mass is also decreasing, that may lead to a conversation about nutrition, protein intake, movement, and the overall treatment plan.
The scan is not a grade or a pass-fail test. It gives us information we can use to make more thoughtful decisions.
Our wellness approach is centered on medical guidance, regular check-ins, and progress that goes beyond a single number. The goal is to help patients understand their bodies and maintain results in a healthier way.
