Is a DEXA scan safe? (Charlotte DEXA scanning)
Absolutely. Our Charlotte DEXA scans use extremely low-dose X-rays — far less than a standard dental X-ray. The scan is completely painless, non-invasive, and takes just 10-15 minutes. It's safe for most adults, and Charlotte's growing medical and wellness community increasingly recommends DEXA for comprehensive body composition monitoring.

How is DEXA different from InBody scans at Charlotte gyms?
Many Charlotte Equinox and local gym locations offer InBody BIA scans, but DEXA is the gold standard. DEXA uses X-ray technology for direct tissue measurement with +/-1-2% accuracy. InBody uses bioelectrical impedance which can vary by +/-5-8% based on hydration — an issue for Charlotte athletes training in the Southeast's summer heat. DEXA delivers consistent, clinical-grade results every time.
Can I get same-day DEXA scan results in Charlotte?
Yes! At our Charlotte location, you'll receive your comprehensive DEXA scan results within 24 hours via email. For an additional fee, we offer expedited same-day results including body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, bone density T-scores, and personalized recommendations — ideal for Charlotte athletes and health-focused professionals tracking seasonal progress.
