Why Desert Dexa? All DEXA scans aren't the same.

Fixed-Site Facility

Our DEXA scanners are in permanent clinical settings β€” we don't scan in vans. A stable, properly calibrated machine means more reliable results, especially when tracking changes over time.

Full-Service DEXA Provider

We offer both body composition analysis and osteoporosis screening scans β€” most providers only offer one or the other. Our osteoporosis screenings include interpretation by an independent board-certified radiologist.

Reports You Can Actually Use

Our reports aren't just a table of numbers β€” they're designed to be readable, with context and explanations built in. Trusted by professional sports teams and active clinical research trials.

Our DEXA Scans

We offer two types of DEXA scans β€” each designed for a different purpose. Choose the one that fits your goals, or combine them for the most complete picture. Learn more about body composition analysis or osteoporosis screening.

Prices vary by scan type and configuration. Visit our booking page to see all package and membership options.

Body Composition Analysis in San Dimas

Our DEXA body composition scan gives you your actual body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, visceral fat, and regional breakdown β€” in about 15 minutes. No guessing, no estimates. Learn more about how DEXA works.

Precise Body Fat Percentage

A real clinical measurement, not a bathroom-scale estimate. Finally know whether your program is changing your body composition or just your weight.

Regional Detail

Fat and muscle mapped across your arms, legs, and trunk. See which areas are gaining muscle, which are holding fat, and how your body is actually responding.

Visceral Fat Score

Measure the fat around your organs that drives metabolic disease. You can't see it. Your scale can't measure it. But it may be the most important number on your report.

Symmetry Check

Compare left vs. right lean mass to identify imbalances. Useful for injury prevention, rehab tracking, and making sure both sides are developing evenly.

You'll leave knowing exactly where you stand β€” with real data to guide your next steps, not a vague number from a gym scale.

Bone Density Screening in San Dimas

A DEXA bone density scan is the standard test for osteoporosis screening. It takes about 15 minutes and gives you your T-score and a full report.

⚠️ 1 in 2 women over 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis

⚠️ 1 in 4 men over 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis

⚠️ Most people don't know they have it until a fracture happens

Get Your Baseline

Most people never think about their bone density until a fracture forces the issue. A baseline scan tells you where you stand now, while there's still time to do something about it.

Screening is recommended for women over 65, men over 70, and anyone over 50 with risk factors. No referral required β€” book online and walk in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to prepare before my DEXA scan?

No special preparation is needed. You can eat, drink, and take medications normally before your scan. DEXA technology is resilient and not affected by recent meals or hydration the way some other body composition methods are. Just avoid clothing with metal zippers or buttons β€” athletic wear works great.

What is a DEXA scan?

A DEXA (or DXA) scan is a non-invasive test that measures body fat, muscle mass, and bone density using low-dose x-ray technology. It provides highly accurate and detailed information about body composition and bone health in one convenient session.

How long does the DEXA scan take?

The scan typically takes about 15 minutes. You'll receive a detailed breakdown of your body composition and/or bone density measurements.

How much does a scan cost?

Please visit our booking page for up-to-date pricing. Our DEXA scans are affordably priced and often less expensive than insurance copays or deductibles.

Do I need a doctor's referral?

No. Just book online and come in. No referral, no prescription, no insurance approval needed.

Is the DEXA scan safe?

Yes, the DEXA scan uses an extremely low dose of x-ray radiation, comparable to the amount you'd receive from eating 3 bananas. It's considered very safe for most individuals.

What should I wear to my DEXA scan?

Wear comfortable clothing without metal, such as zippers or buttons, as metal objects might reduce accuracy of scan results. Sports bras are preferable for women. Activewear like yoga pants and a T-shirt are ideal.

How often should I get a DEXA scan?

For body composition tracking, many clients scan every month to monitor changes from fitness and nutrition programs. For bone density monitoring, follow-up scans can be done as appropriate for your individual health needs.

Do you accept insurance?

No, we do not accept insurance. Our DEXA scans are cash-pay services, and we only accept payment via credit and debit cards. Many clients find our pricing more affordable than insurance copays.

Why choose DEXA over other body composition methods?

We use clinical-grade DEXA β€” the gold standard for body composition testing. It provides significantly more accurate results than bathroom scales, calipers, or bioimpedance devices, measuring regional and total body fat, muscle mass, and bone density with precision.

Do DEXA scans measure visceral fat?

Yes! Our scans measure visceral fat, the dangerous fat that surrounds your internal organs and is linked to metabolic diseases, heart disease, and other health problems.

Why should I get a bone density scan?

Bone density naturally changes over time, and most people don't know where they stand until they measure it. A DEXA bone density scan gives you a clear baseline and T-score so you and your doctor can make informed decisions about your bone health.

Does it matter where I get my DEXA scan?

Yes. DEXA accuracy depends on proper calibration and a stable scanning environment. Our scanners are fixed-site, clinical-grade systems β€” not mobile units transported in vans. A stable, properly calibrated machine means more reliable results, especially if you're tracking changes over time. We also offer both body composition analysis and clinical osteoporosis screening with independent radiologist interpretation β€” most providers only offer one or the other.
