Bioimpedance Analysis (BIA) Measurement

​

 At Sima Medical & Cosmetic Clinic, we use the SECA medical Body Composition Analyzer to obtain a detailed look at the exact composition of your body with accuracy of 97-99%. It provides rapid assessment of vital body composition parameters, e.g., fat mass, visceral adipose tissue, skeletal muscle mass and body water with medical precision. Fully customized results summary visually displays all measurement parameters in an easy-to-read format. Validated by medical studies, the analyzer provides modern, cloud-based software, and innovative height measurement with ultrasound technology. With its improved graphic modules, it draws an accurate and comprehensive assessment picture of your body's composition and makes bioimpedance analysis an even more valuable support for therapy and diagnosis.

The measurement takes a couple of minutes. Note that if you have a pacemaker or similar implanted device, we cannot perform BIA measurement.
