Injectables

At Prestige Primary Care in Hilton Head, South Carolina, board-certified Rafael Sanchez, MD, offers the very best injectable treatments on the market. If you’d like to learn more, the best way to move forward is by booking a visit online or over the phone. 

How can injectables help me look my best?

Botox® is the world’s leading injectable treatment for temporarily reducing the appearance of forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. This medication is made from a purified form of a neurotoxin that’s found naturally in lakes, forests, and soil. 

When injected into specific facial tissues, Botox works by temporarily preventing treated muscle tissues from going through their full range of motion. You’ll still be able to create normal facial expressions, but your facial muscles won’t tug and pull your skin into folds, lines, and wrinkles. 

Botox treatment takes just moments, and you can return to work or other routines immediately afterward. The effects take a couple of days to fully develop and last around four months. 

Dr. Sanchez also offers a number of other medical aesthetic treatments that can bring you closer to your aesthetic ideals. Just book a consultation to learn more. 

Are there injectables that can help with weight loss?

If you’re struggling to reach and maintain a healthy weight, medical weight loss can be incredibly beneficial. One tool used in this approach is weight loss injections like Mounjaro®. These injections help you lose weight by controlling your appetite and helping your body convert food into energy more efficiently. 

Other medications use semaglutide to achieve similar results. While injections are never the sole treatment for weight loss, they’re a wonderful addition to a program that includes dietary improvements and exercise. 

Losing weight is one of the best things you can do to improve your health and reduce your risk of serious disease and early death. Make today the day you take the first step toward a healthier weight. 

Are injectables safe?

In the hands of a highly skilled practitioner like Dr. Sanchez, injectables are safe and effective. You never need to worry about the quality of the injectable treatment or the safety standards of the injections themselves. 

It’s important to make good choices when it comes to where to get injectable treatments. Working with a medical professional is the only way to know for sure that you’re getting exactly what you pay for, and aren’t at risk of harm from untrained practitioners.
