What is BFI
?
What does the BFI score mean?
BFI®: Your "Localized BMI"
Traditional BMI only uses height and weight, failing to show how fat is distributed. Since everyone carries weight differently, Body Fat Index (BFI)® factors precise fat distribution into standard metrics. It maps your "localized BMI" and body symmetry at a glance—making it a powerful, data-driven tool for personal training, esthetics, and custom weight-loss programming.

Multilingual Counselling Support
Breaking language barriers in body assessment. The software fully supports English, French, Spanish, and Japanese, empowering diverse staff members and catering to global clientele with ease.
Overall Body Balance (Body Fat Percentage × BMI)
Categorizes body composition into 6 distinct zones using body fat percentage (vertical axis) and BMI (horizontal axis). Users can immediately identify trends such as "Slim," "Muscular Type," or "High Fat." Each of the 6 categories is backed by expert physician commentary.
Localized Balance (BODY FAT INDEX)
Quantifies the obesity level across 5 specific areas of the upper limbs, trunk, and lower limbs based on subcutaneous fat thickness. Clients can instantly visualize their structural balance and focal areas.
Quality of Fat (Fat Tissue Analysis)
Instantly performs a brightness analysis on black-and-white ultrasound scans, visually mapping the exact quality of the subcutaneous fat layer in vibrant colors. Classifying fat into "Muscular ," "Edematous," "Fibrous," or "Subcutaneous fat" types helps technicians select the ideal treatment modalities.
Calorie Deficit Planning
Simply input the target weight to calculate the total required calorie deficit, displaying the necessary daily calorie reduction and the estimated timeline to reach the goal. Streamlines calorie intake and expenditure planning.
Progress Tracking & Analytics
Visualizes pre- and post-treatment transformations through raw data and imagery. It automatically archives numerical values, area-specific ultrasound images, and color-coded fat profiles for every session. This lets you track structural changes chronologically, facilitating seamless communication and upselling opportunities.
Visual Goal Simulation
Supports goal-setting by visualizing the ideal physique. By importing a client's current photograph, advanced simulation technology provides a visual preview of their post-weight-loss transformation.

Advanced Subcutaneous Fat Mapping
BFI-MEASURE uses ultrasound and brightness analysis to color-code and visualize the subcutaneous fat layer.
・5 Target Areas: Upper arms, abdomen, lower back, front thighs, and rear thighs.
・Visual Precision: Instantly maps and displays regional fat balance for clear client understanding.

Correlation with Hydrostatic Weighing (Underwater Weighing)

I. The 3-Site Method yields a remarkably high correlation of 0.89 (for men) with hydrostatic weighing, delivering nearly 90% accuracy. (Measurement sites: Periumbilical, posterior upper arm, and posterior thigh only.)
II. Even the 1-Site Method maintains a strong correlation of 0.83 (for men) with hydrostatic weighing. (Measurement site: Posterior upper arm only.)
III. STAT = Subcutaneous Fat Mass / VFAT = Visceral Fat Mass / RATE = Visceral Fat Ratio
Menu Proposals

based on fat tissue quality!

A
Subcutaneous Fat Type
This profile exhibits high subcutaneous fat. Given the soft nature of the tissue, we recommend structuring a long-term treatment plan integrating RF (RET/CET), vacuum therapies, and EMS.


B
Edematous (Swelling) Type
Characterized by soft fat accompanied by fluid retention. Lymphatic drainage treatments are highly encouraged to prevent further buildup.


C
Muscular Type
Characterized by a highly muscular build with minimal subcutaneous fat layers. We recommend proposing CET, drainage, or myofascial release therapies.


D
Fibrous Type
Hard fibrous bands are anchored within the subcutaneous tissues. A combination of CET + RET is recommended to effectively break down the localized fat matrix.

How implementing
BFI transforms staff capability and salon revenue
1

Accurate Body Fat Percentage?
With standard impedance methods (scales that pass an electrical current), have you ever noticed fluctuations between morning, noon, and night, or questioned their consistency? The ultrasound imaging method calculates body fat percentage directly from the thickness of the fat layer, offering extremely high accuracy and reproducibility. It is truly a measurement device for professionals.
2

Visualizing Localized Subcutaneous Fat
Most people have never seen their own subcutaneous fat with their own eyes. You can provide highly persuasive counseling by showing clients "subcutaneous images" of their fat and muscle along with precise measurements.
3

Image Data Storage
By saving images and numerical data, you can clearly demonstrate which areas have slimmed down and which areas are stubborn. This allows you to clearly point out the future direction of treatments or training.
4

Education & Standardizing Staff Performance
It elevates the quality of your counselors and standardizes the skill level across your staff. Because the counseling workflow follows a structured format, staff can naturally deliver explanations that are narrative-driven and highly convincing.
5

Menu Development and Verification
You can develop tailored treatment and training menus. This enables you to explain and verify exactly why a specific menu or machine is optimal for a client based on the quality and quantity of their fat and muscle images.
6

Encouraging Regular Visits
Treatments can be scheduled systematically once or twice a month, much like a health checkup, allowing you to take the initiative in scheduling.
7

Easier to Close Long-Term Contracts
Weight loss doesn't happen overnight. You can provide a clearer explanation of the necessary calorie plans, making it more obvious to clients why a 3-month commitment is required.
8

Boosting In-Salon Product Sales
You can embed recommended products or services via PDF into each matrix of the overall balance and BFI localized balance sheets, which helps drive up sales.

!
30s (F)
Overall Body Type (FAT% & BFI)
Skinny Fat Type (Hidden Obesity)
An inactive, hidden obesity type. The BMI value is within the normal range, but the body fat percentage is high. The main factors are lack of exercise and an unbalanced diet.
[Advice]: Lower the body fat percentage while maintaining the current BMI value.Localized Balance (BFI) - 5 Areas
Abdomen Obesity Level: 2 / Waist Obesity Level: 2
The abdomen and waist are at Obesity Level 2. The arms and legs are at standard levels. Treatments and exercises focused primarily on the abdomen are recommended.
Subcutaneous Fat Quality / Type & Cellulite Classification

Cellulite Level 3
Your abdominal and lower back areas are classified as obesity level 2. Your arms and legs are within the standard range. We recommend treatments and exercises that focus on the abdominal area.
[Fibrous Type]
Cellulite is starting to form slightly, and the body is shifting toward an excess fluid (edema) type. Please perform thorough lymphatic drainage. Hard fat is mixed in with soft fat. Since it is starting to turn into cellulite, let's break down the subcutaneous fat.

Overall Body Type (FAT% & BFI)
Obese Type (High Body Fat / Requires Attention)
A diet-driven obese type. Both BMI and body fat percentage show high values. The client is either obese or on the verge of obesity.
[Advice]: Lower both BMI and body fat percentage simultaneously.Localized Balance (BFI) - 5 Areas
Abdomen Obesity Level: 2 / Other Areas Obesity Level: 1
Subcutaneous fat is distributed across the entire body. In addition to the abdomen, full-body treatments are recommended. This process will require some time.
Subcutaneous Fat Quality / Type & Cellulite Classification

Cellulite Level 4
Excess fluid is a risk factor. Let’s take a fresh look at our lifestyle.
[Fat-based]
The excess fluid level is in the danger zone. Let's start by reviewing lifestyle habits. Soft subcutaneous fat is firmly established. Let's work diligently over the medium-to-long term using a combination of exercise, diet, and drainage.

A lean body type with high fat. The BMI is low (underweight), but the body fat percentage is high.
[Advice]: Incorporate regular exercise while ensuring proper nutritional intake through meals.Localized Balance (BFI) - 5 Areas
Cellulite Level: 2
It appears that there is subcutaneous fat on the arms and the front of the legs. There is very little on the abdomen, so the treatment will focus mainly on the arms and legs.
Subcutaneous Fat Quality / Type & Cellulite Classification

Cellulite Level 2
Excess moisture is normal.
[Subcutaneous Fat Type]
Although your subcutaneous fat is not particularly thick, you are starting to develop a layer of soft subcutaneous fat. Do try to exercise regularly.
