What are some disadvantages of Styku?
- Cost: Styku is an expensive machine. Scans cost $40 and are generally not covered by insurance. This may make them inaccessible to some people.
- Limited availability: These devices are not widely available and may not be accessible in all areas. Studio Strong is a proud provider in the Metro-East St Louis area.
- Accuracy: Scans are generally considered to be accurate, though not 100% precise in every case. Factors such as clothing, body position, and hydration can affect the results of the scan.
- Body image concerns: Some people may feel uncomfortable or self-conscious about having their body scanned and analyzed in such detail. This may cause anxiety or body image concerns.
- Lack of context: Though they provide detailed information about body composition, they do not provide context for overall health and wellness. Other factors such as sleep, stress, and overall lifestyle habits also play a role in overall health.
