Understand Your Body – Beyond the Scale
At Physicians Premiere Weight & Wellness Center, we go beyond just tracking weight—we measure what truly matters with body composition analysis using the SECA medical-grade scanner.
What Is a SECA Body Composition Scan?
The SECA machine is a non-invasive, quick, and painless tool that analyzes your body composition in just seconds. It breaks down your body into key components like:
- Fat mass
- Muscle mass
- Water content
- Visceral fat (the fat around your organs)
- Basal metabolic rate (BMR) – how many calories you burn at rest
How Does It Work?
SECA uses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)—a safe, low-level electrical current that passes through your body. Since fat, muscle, and water conduct electricity differently, the machine calculates your body composition based on how the current flows.
You simply step onto the scanner and hold the handles—no needles, no discomfort, and no prep required.
Why Is It Important?
Unlike a traditional scale, the SECA body composition scan helps you see:
- Where your weight is coming from (muscle vs. fat)
- How your body changes over time, even if the number on the scale doesn’t move
- Whether your weight loss is healthy—preserving muscle while reducing fat
- Your internal health status, especially visceral fat, which is linked to chronic diseases
Who Should Use It?
Anyone starting a weight loss, fitness, or medical wellness plan can benefit. It’s especially useful if:
- You’re starting or adjusting a weight loss program
- You want to track fat loss versus muscle gain
- You’re managing conditions like obesity, diabetes, or metabolic syndrome
Track Your Progress with Precision
We use SECA scans to personalize your care, set realistic goals, and track real changes. It’s part of how we help you lose weight the right way—not just less on the scale, but better health from the inside out.
Why Patients Love Us!
“Eye-opening and motivating!”
“I had no idea how much of my weight was actually muscle versus fat. The body composition scan gave me a clear picture of what I needed to work on—and what I was already doing well. It made my weight loss journey feel more focused and personal.”
“More than just the number on the scale.”
“I used to get frustrated watching the scale move slowly, but after seeing my body composition results, I realized I was gaining muscle and losing fat. It completely changed how I view my progress. I finally feel in control.”
“Simple, fast, and so helpful.”
“The test took less than a minute, but gave me way more info than a regular weigh-in. It even broke down my hydration levels and muscle balance. My provider walked me through the results and adjusted my plan based on what we saw.”
