DEXA SCAN
A foundational diagnostic for precision longevity medicine
At Reborne Longevity, diagnostics are the starting point for intelligent, personalised care.
The DXA scan provides a medical-grade assessment of body composition, bone density, and visceral fat, delivering the structural data required to optimise performance, metabolic health, hormonal balance, and long-term resilience.
Why DEXA Matters
Most health metrics are indirect. Weight, BMI, and wearables offer estimates.
DEXA provides objective measurement.
Using ultra-low-dose X-ray technology, DEXA precisely distinguishes between
lean muscle, fat mass, visceral fat, and bone mineral density,
allowing our clinicians to see how your body is truly structured,
and how it is changing over time.
This level of insight is essential for preventative, performance-led longevity medicine
WHAT IT MEASURES:
Body Symmetry
Body Symmetry highlights left to right imbalances critical for injury prevention and performance optimisation.
Bone Mineral Density
Bone Mineral Density is the gold standard for detecting osteopenia, osteoporosis, and fracture risk.
Fat and Fat Distribution
Fat & Fat Distribution measures total fat and distinguishes metabolically harmful visceral fat from subcutaneous fat
Lean Muscle Mass
Lean Muscle Mass Identifies total and segmental muscle distribution, asymmetry, and age-related decline.
HOW THE SCAN WORKS
Simple. Fast.
Non-invasive.
You lie comfortably on the scan table
The scan takes 5–10 minutes
Ultra-low radiation exposure
No injections, no preparation, no recovery time
Results are interpreted by the Reborne clinical team and integrated directly into your personalised programme.
Weight optimisation and metabolic health
Weight is not the metric that matters, visceral fat is
DEXA scans help us to:
Quantify visceral fat accurately
Monitor fat loss without muscle loss
Track progress even when weight plateaus
Personalise nutrition, fasting, and pharmacology
This is critical for clients pursuing sustainable metabolic health.
Working with Athletes & Optimising Human Performance
Body Composition can provide direct measurements and tracking small changes that help in personalising and monitoring , training, recovery, nutritional and weight management programs. This information is critical for accurately assessing the state of a patient or athlete’s health and defining successful treatment plans and training programs.
DEXA Scans help inform:
Body Composition for Human Performance
Assessing Injury Prevention & Recovery
Enhancing Nutritional Programs
The Female Athlete Triad is a syndrome of three interrelated conditions that exist on a continuum of severity, including:
Energy deficiency with or without eating disorder
Menstrual disturbances/amenorrhea
Bone loss/osteoporosis
Dexa scans can help athletes continuously monitor these conditions through a training cycle
Bone Density & Fracture Risk
DEXA is the gold standard for:
Early osteopenia detection
Osteoporosis diagnosis
Long-term fracture risk assessment
Bone loss is silent. DXA allows us to act before injury occurs.
During menopause, DEXA allows us to:
Establish a structural baseline
Monitor bone and muscle loss
Track visceral fat changes
Evaluate response to HRT and lifestyle intervention
This transforms menopause care from symptom management to preventative medicine.
Why Choose Us
James H.
“The DXA scan at Reborne completely changed how I understand my body. Instead of relying on weight or guesswork, I was given clear, medical-grade data on muscle, visceral fat, and bone density. The process was fast and seamless, but the insight was profound. It became the foundation for a genuinely personalised programme that finally feels intelligent, preventative, and measurable.”
