Body Composition Scan (Styku 3D)
A 35-second 3D body scan that captures hundreds of precise measurements for objective body composition tracking, not a guess at the scale.
What it is
Styku is a 35-second 3D body scan that captures hundreds of precise body-shape measurements with millimeter accuracy. Paired with a resting metabolic rate (RMR) reading, the whole visit is under 20 minutes, and you walk out with a real body-composition baseline you can track over time.
How it works
You stand on a slow-rotating platform for 35 seconds while an infrared sensor builds a high-resolution 3D model of your body. From that model the software calculates body-fat percentage, lean-mass distribution, posture, and circumferences (waist, hips, chest, arms, legs), then stores it for side-by-side comparison to future scans. RMR adds about 10 minutes of resting breath analysis to measure how many calories you burn at rest.
Who it's for
- Anyone tracking body composition with real, repeatable data
- Patients in a fat-loss or muscle-gain phase who want objective progress beyond the scale
- Athletes monitoring composition through a training block or season
- People who want an RMR-based calorie target instead of a generic formula
What it helps
- Body-fat % and lean-mass tracking
- Circumference and posture change over time
- RMR-based calorie targets
- Side-by-side scan comparisons that show what's actually working
What to expect
RMR plus the Styku 3D body composition scan is under 20 minutes total. You'll leave with a written interpretation and a baseline for future retests.
FAQ
How is Styku different from a body fat scale?+
Scales estimate body composition through bioimpedance, which varies with hydration and meal timing. Styku captures hundreds of precise 3D body-shape measurements and tracks change you can actually see.
How long does the scan take?+
The scan itself is 35 seconds. With RMR included, the whole visit is under 20 minutes.
How should I prepare?+
For RMR: fasted, no caffeine, calm arrival. For the scan: form-fitting clothing or compression wear. I send specific instructions ahead of time.
How often should I rescan?+
Most people rescan every 4–12 weeks to track meaningful change: often enough to course-correct, not so often that normal day-to-day fluctuation gets in the way.
Should I also do VO₂max metabolic testing?+
If your goal includes endurance, training zones, or aerobic performance, yes. The two together give you a complete picture: composition (Styku) plus engine (VO₂max).
Is this only for weight loss?+
No. It's just as useful for tracking muscle gain, recomp, postpartum return, or holding composition through a training block.
Is it covered by insurance?+
Form & Function is a cash-based (self-pay) practice. I don't bill insurance directly, which lets me spend more time with you and build your plan around what you actually need instead of what an insurer will approve. Fees are discussed up front. On request I can provide a detailed receipt (superbill) you may submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement, though reimbursement isn't guaranteed.
