Comprehensive Body Composition Analysis
Maintaining your health and achieving your body goals begins with knowing what’s really happening beneath the surface. At Niwa Aesthetics & Wellness in Chicago Ridge, IL, we use the advanced InBody Assessment to provide a clear, accurate picture of your body composition. This quick and non-invasive analysis measures key indicators such as muscle mass, body fat, hydration, and metabolism, helping guide your fitness, nutrition, and aesthetic treatment plans with precision.

Dr. Donkoh’s scientific and aesthetic expertise ensures every assessment becomes the foundation for a personalized plan designed to improve your health, performance, and confidence.
What is an InBody Assessment?
The InBody Assessment is a state-of-the-art body composition analysis that uses bioelectrical impedance technology to evaluate the balance between muscle, fat, and water throughout your body. Unlike traditional scales that only provide a single number—your weight—the InBody system breaks that number down into the components that truly matter for your overall wellness.
This analysis helps identify how your body is responding to diet, exercise, and medical treatments. It’s an essential tool for developing effective wellness strategies and for tracking measurable progress over time. Whether your goal is weight loss, muscle gain, or improving metabolic health, the InBody Assessment provides the data-driven insights needed for sustainable results.
How Does the InBody Assessment Work?
During your assessment, you will stand on the InBody device and hold two small hand electrodes while a series of low-level electrical currents safely pass through your body. Because fat, muscle, and water conduct electricity differently, the device can determine your precise body composition in less than a minute.
The report you receive includes:
- Skeletal Muscle Mass: Measures the total amount of lean muscle throughout your body.
- Body Fat Percentage: Identifies overall fat levels and tracks changes over time.
- Visceral Fat Level: Evaluates fat surrounding internal organs, a key indicator of metabolic health.
- Body Water Distribution: Distinguishes between intracellular and extracellular water levels.
- Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): Shows how many calories your body burns at rest.
- Segmental Analysis: Breaks down muscle and fat distribution across arms, legs, and trunk.
This information allows for a detailed look at how your lifestyle, exercise habits, and treatments affect your overall health and composition.
Who Can Benefit from InBody Assessment?
The InBody Assessment is beneficial for individuals at every stage of their wellness journey. It is especially valuable for:
- Patients participating in medical weight loss programs
