DexaCore

DexaCore was built to be the premium destination for body composition scanning: delivering a tissue-by-tissue biological blueprint paired with exceptional care and a best-in-class tracking app that empowers every client to know exactly what they are made of. Where clinical precision, a deeply personal experience, and a powerful scan-tracking app work together to give people what no scale ever could. A complete picture of exactly what they are made of and a clear path to becoming their best. WHAT WE MEASURE Every scan delivers a full breakdown of your body: total body fat percentage and exactly where it is stored across every region, visceral fat (the harmful fat stored around your organs that no mirror or scale can detect), lean muscle mass and left-to-right symmetry to catch imbalances before they become injuries, resting metabolic rate so you can fuel and cut with real numbers, total fat mass, lean mass, fat distribution, and total body bone density, a full-body baseline you can track for years to come. BUILT FOR PROGRESS One scan is a snapshot. DexaCore is built for the long game. Every scan lives in your profile so you can compare results side by side, watch trends develop, and see exactly what your training, nutrition, and lifestyle changes are doing over time. WHO USES DEXACORE Everyone should use it. Whether you're an athlete chasing performance, someone on a GLP-1 medication who wants to make sure you're losing fat and not muscle, or simply someone who wants real data instead of a number on a scale, DexaCore gives you what you've been missing. A complete picture of your body, and a clear path to becoming your best. HOW IT WORKS Book your scan at our Encinitas studio. Show up in comfortable metal free and button free clothing. Your scan takes 6 minutes on an open scanner, fully clothed. Get your results instantly. A DexaCore technician walks you through your report in detail before you leave. No confusion. No guessing. Just clarity.
