Fort Worth, TX — Dr. Emily J. Kirby and her team at Kalos Medical Spa have started offering ShapeScale, an advanced 3D body scanner that tracks weight loss and body contouring progress from every angle. This technology provides clear, measurable information about fat loss, body composition, and changes in body shape.
Patients undergoing plastic surgery or using GLP-1 weight loss injections can now monitor their body’s transformation more precisely than before.
Dr. Kirby, a board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of Kalos Medical Spa and Kirby Plastic Surgery, explained, “Weight loss or body changes are not always obvious on a scale, especially early on or right after a procedure. ShapeScale lets patients see exactly where their bodies are changing and celebrate progress that a traditional scale might miss.”
Unlike regular scales or tape measurements, ShapeScale creates a detailed 3D model of the entire body. Patients stand on the scanner platform while a 360-degree camera captures a full-body scan. This scan offers precise measurements with millimeter accuracy and visual tools such as circumferential points or heatmaps showing changes in body composition over time. The high-resolution 3D model reveals even subtle shifts in size, shape, and contour with each scan.
The scanning process takes about one minute and requires no special preparation. After the scan, results are reviewed with the patient during their appointment. The scan is then securely uploaded to a personal app where patients can track and compare their progress anytime.
Dr. Kirby added, “ShapeScale is a game-changer for long-term treatments and surgeries. It connects what patients feel with what they can actually see. This kind of visual feedback helps keep people motivated and shows the real results of their efforts.”
Kalos Medical Spa includes ShapeScale scans in patient care plans at no extra cost. For those on GLP-1 weight loss injections, the scanner provides detailed information beyond just pounds lost. It reveals where fat is reducing and if muscle is preserved, offering accuracy close to a DEXA scan but without radiation. This helps Dr. Kirby and her team adjust treatments for better outcomes.
Patients who have body contouring surgeries such as tummy tucks, mommy makeovers, or liposuction benefit greatly by seeing their full transformation. ShapeScale tracks changes in body shape, swelling reduction, and subtle improvements that happen weeks or months after surgery. This tool also reassures patients by showing their progress clearly and improves communication with the medical team.
“There is nothing more rewarding than showing patients side-by-side scans from before and after treatment,” Dr. Kirby said. “ShapeScale captures their transformation in a way that confirms their decision, boosts pride in their progress, and motivates them to keep going—whether focusing on weight loss or recovery after surgery. It’s one more way we support patients through every step.”
With ShapeScale, Dr. Kirby and her team continue to offer innovative, science-based aesthetic services in a welcoming, patient-centered setting at their Fort Worth location.
