What Does a Styku 3D Body Scan Measure?
A Styku 3D body scan uses a rotating platform and depth sensors to capture a 360-degree map of your body in about 40 seconds, then calculates your body fat percentage, fat mass, lean muscle mass and dozens of circumference measurements. It is quick, non-invasive and gives you a picture of your body that a scale simply cannot.
Key Points
- Painless, non-invasive 360-degree body map in about 40 seconds
- Body fat percentage and fat mass, not just body weight
- Lean muscle mass, so you can see if you are losing fat or muscle
- Circumference measurements: waist, hips, chest, thighs and more
- Follow-up scans compare progress scan to scan
How the Scan Works
You stand on a rotating platform while depth sensors take hundreds of measurements that combine into a 3D model of your body. No radiation, no water displacement, no pinching calipers: just a quick, comfortable scan.
The model is then analyzed to estimate body composition. Because the method is consistent scan after scan, the real value shows up over time as your personal trend.
What Measurements You Get
The report includes body fat percentage, fat mass, lean muscle mass and segmental analysis across different areas of the body, plus circumference measurements like waist, hips, chest, arms and thighs. Posture and balance data are captured too.
That depth is what makes a 3D scan different from a smart scale, which can only estimate a single overall number.
Why Composition Beats Weight
Two people can weigh the same and be built completely differently. Weight cannot tell you if the 10 pounds you lost was fat or muscle, but a scan can. During weight loss, protecting muscle matters for metabolism and strength, and only composition data shows whether you are protecting it.
How Styku Is Used at Thrive
Thrive uses Styku scans at the start of weight loss and wellness programs, then on follow-up visits, so plans are adjusted from evidence, not guesses. Patients in Draper and across the South Salt Lake Valley and northern Utah County use their scans to reset goals and stay motivated.
