Body Composition Analysis in Trigg (QuadScan)

See more than the scales - understand fat mass, muscle mass, hydration and metabolic rate.

QuadScan is a quick, non-invasive body composition scan that gives a detailed breakdown of your body composition - far more informative than a standard scale. It helps you track changes over time, whether your goal is fat loss, strength, better energy or overall wellbeing.

What your QuadScan report shows

  1. Lean mass (muscle)- useful for monitoring strength and body composition changes

  2. Hydration status - identifies shifts that can affect how you feel and perform

  3. Estimated metabolic rate - a helpful baseline for health and nutrition planning

  4. Overall body composition trends- so you can track progress clearly over time

  5. Fat mass - helps track fat loss beyond total weight

You’ll receive an easy-to-read report you can compare over time.

Why body composition matters (not just weight)

Bathroom scales only show total weight - they can’t tell you what has changed. QuadScan helps you understand whether your progress is coming from fat loss, muscle changes or hydration shifts, so you can make better decisions and avoid guesswork.

Ideal for tracking health goals

QuadScan is especially helpful if you’re working on:

  • Fat loss and body recomposition

  • Strength and muscle-building goals

  • Hydration and recovery

  • Metabolic and lifestyle changes

  • Monitoring progress during structured weight-loss programs

Useful during medically supervised weight-loss programs

If you’re using a weight-loss medicine prescribed by your doctor, body composition tracking can be particularly valuable because weight loss may include changes in both fat mass and lean mass.

How QuadScan can help during a weight-loss program

  1. Track how much weight change is coming from fat vs lean mass

  2. Monitor muscle preservation (or detect unwanted muscle loss)

  3. Support more informed lifestyle decisions (for example, protein intake and resistance training)

  4. Understand changes in body fat distribution, which can be important for overall health

QuadScan is a monitoring tool and doesn’t replace medical care. Always follow your GP or specialist’s advice regarding medicines.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • QuadScan is a multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) test that provides a detailed breakdown of your body composition. Unlike a standard scale, it measures fat mass, lean muscle mass, hydration levels, visceral fat and metabolic indicators to give a more complete picture of your health.

  • Regular scales only show total body weight. QuadScan goes much deeper by analysing how your weight is distributed across fat, muscle and water. This makes it far more useful for tracking health progress, especially during weight-loss programs or lifestyle changes.

  • No referral is required. QuadScan Body Composition Analysis is available directly through our pharmacy and is performed by trained health professionals.

  • Yes. QuadScan is quick, painless and non-invasive. It uses a very low electrical current that is safe for the vast majority of people. We’ll confirm suitability before your scan.

  • The scan itself takes only a few minutes. You’ll receive a clear, easy-to-understand report that can be used to track changes over time. Your results are reviewed with you, and we explain what they mean in the context of your health goals. Where appropriate, we can provide guidance on nutrition, lifestyle or further testing.

  • This depends on your goals. Many people repeat QuadScan every 4–8 weeks to track progress, particularly when undertaking weight-loss programs, strength training or metabolic health interventions.

  • For the most accurate results, we recommend:

    • Avoid eating or drinking large amounts for 2–3 hours before your scan

    • Avoid intense exercise on the day of your appointment

    • Stay well hydrated in the 24 hours prior, but avoid excessive fluid intake immediately beforehand

    • Wear light clothing and remove shoes, socks and heavy accessories

    If you’re having repeat scans, we recommend booking them at a similar time of day and under similar conditions each time. This helps ensure your results are consistent and meaningful when tracking changes over time.
