At Coastal Carolina Internal Medicine P.A., we go above and beyond for our patients, treating everyone who walks through our door as a person—not just a number on a chart.
What may surprise you though is that we are more than a medical center near Swansboro, NC. We also offer skin rejuvenation and wellness treatments under the same roof at our aesthetic center, Bloom Aesthetics.
Our team understands that aesthetics and health go hand-in-hand because the body is an interconnected system. Your self-confidence affects your physical and mental health, and vice versa. Because we align our practice with functional medicine, our aesthetics services provide us with opportunities to improve your overall health.
That’s why we offer such a wide range of services, because we are here to support your well-being, inside and out.
Skin Health
You probably have a pretty extensive skincare routine that varies slightly between the a.m. and the p.m. From cleansers to serums to moisturizers, each product has different ingredients, all of which are designed to achieve the same outcome: clear, smooth, and radiant skin.
While your routine probably helps maintain your skin health, it has its limits. Most topical products don’t reach the deeper layers of skin (known as the dermis) where vital proteins like collagen and elastin are stored. Your skin relies on these components for structure, support, and flexibility. As you age, your body produces less and less collagen and elastin, leaving you more susceptible to sagging skin, wrinkles, and a dull complexion.
Visit our medical center near Swansboro to enhance your skin health with our aesthetics services for hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and skin tightening.
Exion Skin Rejuvenation
To stimulate collagen and elastin production, we rely on Exion for targeted skin revitalization. This noninvasive treatment uses advanced radiofrequency (RF) energy and ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production, which can tighten skin, increase hydration, and enhance plumpness.
Most patients benefit from 4 to 6 sessions, which produces cumulative, gradual, graceful, and natural results.
Hydrafacial
This 3-step facial follows the same steps for every patient: cleansing the skin, extracting buildup within the pores, and hydrating the skin. However, within this process, there is room for customization, allowing us to target your particular concerns.
As the final step, we apply a specialized serum that can target acne, fine lines, dull skin tone, and much more. We recommend the Hydrafacial all year round, because you can prepare for how the season’s transitions affect your skin. As summer fades to fall and eventually winter, you’ll need extra hydration, as the cooler temperatures can dry out your skin. When winter snow becomes spring showers, you’ll benefit from the extractions that clear out your pores and help reduce oil production.
The Hydrafacial works from head to toe, improving your scalp health, neck, and even your thighs.
Body Contouring
We are passionate about body contouring at our medical center near Swansboro because it offers aesthetic benefits to improve your self-esteem.
Emsculpt NEO Body Sculpting
Emsculpt NEO is a device that reshapes areas of the body through noninvasive fat reduction and muscle toning. This treatment can help you contour and sculpt your figure, helping you achieve your ideal physique—especially after visiting our weight loss clinic for medical weight loss guidance.
Emsculpt NEO combines 2 technologies: high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy and radiofrequency (RF) energy. The HIFEM energy induces up to 20,000 muscle contractions in a 30-minute session, while the RF energy heats and destroys fat cells—permanently.
This device also offers impressive therapeutic benefits and can aid in muscle rehabilitation, as it improves mobility, prevents muscle atrophy, and relaxes muscle spasms.
Emtone Cellulite Treatment
Cellulite appears as dimpled skin on your thighs, stomach, and buttocks. While this cosmetic condition does not show any indication of poor health, it can damage your self-esteem, making you want to cover up even in North Carolina’s hot and humid summer weather.
Emtone uses RF energy and targeted pressure to improve blood flow, increase collagen production, and move metabolic waste. Not only can this improve the appearance of your skin, but it also reduces muscle spasms and offers temporary pain relief in the treatment areas.
Emtone results are long-lasting, but not permanent. At our aesthetic and medical center near Swansboro, we can also provide you with lifestyle tips to improve the appearance of cellulite at home and in-between maintenance sessions of Emtone.
Pelvic Floor Treatments
Your pelvic floor often doesn’t get enough attention or credit. As the base of your core muscles, your pelvic floor supports your bladder, bowel, uterus (women), and prostate (men). Childbirth, injuries, surgeries, and aging in general can cause your pelvic floor to weaken, negatively impacting your sexual function and bladder control. We offer pelvic floor treatments for men and women to restore function to their core.
Emsella
Although it seems like the best way to exercise these muscles would be to get up and move, the Emsella chair just asks you to sit still for 30 minutes.
Emsella emits high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to stimulate up to 12,000 pelvic muscle contractions per session. After a series of 6 to 9 appointments, you can experience a reduced urge to go to the bathroom and greater control over your bladder function. This can improve your sleep quality because often the urge to pee can wake you up repeatedly throughout the night.
Emfemme 360
Treatment with Emfemme is offered only to women at our medical center near Swansboro. Not only can it support their pelvic floor, but it also strengthens inner vaginal muscles.
The Emfemme device utilizes RF energy to warm vaginal tissues, promoting collagen and elastin growth. This thermal stimulation increases blood circulation, which can improve vaginal sensation, lubrication, and tightness—all in a quick 10-minute session.
Internal Medicine
Internal medicine focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating diseases. Our Physician and Head Doctor, Dr. Jose Ignacio Ros, is an internist who cares about giving you quality, affordable, and convenient care. He doesn’t look to mask your symptoms, but rather to address the root issue and create a comprehensive and personalized plan to help improve your overall health. The following includes some of our internal medicine services.
Physicals and Screenings
It’s easy to put off your annual physical exam, especially if you feel like you’re in good health. However, an adult physical can help you maintain your current level of health or identify early signs of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, and more.
Many of the chronic conditions that we test for develop slowly and often go unnoticed because they don’t always cause symptoms right away. If we can catch them early through regular physicals and screenings at our medical center near Swansboro, we can either slow their progression or prevent them.
We also offer ongoing chronic condition treatments, including the following:
- Diabetes screenings & management
- Blood pressure monitoring
- Osteoporosis management
Allergy and Flu Testing and Vaccinations
If you see us during an annual physical exam, we can also take the opportunity to test for allergies and the flu or administer any necessary vaccinations. We can also provide these services separate from your physical as well.
Allergy testing helps us identify triggers that cause your immune system to overreact, leading to symptoms like sneezing, rashes, and watery eyes. Common allergens include:
- Grass
- Mites
- Dust
- Trees
- Pollen
- Flowers
After performing an allergy test, we can determine the best allergy medication or treatment for you. Allergy testing can also help us improve your skin health if you experience rashes, redness, or dryness.
A flu test is your first step to recovery. At Coastal Carolina Internal Medicine P.A., we test for the following:
- Influenza A
- Influenza B
- RSV
- Strep throat
- Covid 19
Once we identify which sickness you’re fighting, we can determine the best way to relieve your symptoms.
Vaccinations aid your body in developing immunity against a particular illness. We offer vaccines for the following:
- Pneumonia
- The flu virus
- Tetanus
- Covid
Scientists developed vaccines using antigens (markers that indicate to your immune system if something is safe or dangerous) and adjuvants (substances that stimulate a faster immune system response). At our medical center near Swansboro, you can get up to 3 vaccines at the same time. It takes 15 minutes to administer vaccines.
Chronic Care
Some diseases, like obesity and arthritis, do not have a cure—meaning they require lifelong management. At Coastal Carolina Internal Medicine P.A., we provide ongoing care that adapts to your changing lifestyle.
Weight Loss Management
Whether you are just starting your medical weight loss journey or you’ve finally reached your goals, your physical health and well-being deserve ongoing support. That’s why we provide weight loss management services to help you maintain your new weight and overall health. Not only do we offer weight loss injections like semaglutide, but we also provide exercise recommendations and dietary guidance to help you live a healthy, well-rounded life.
Arthritis
Arthritis is a general term that refers to more than 100 types of related conditions. Most often, people experience pain and inflammation in the joints after years of wear and tear as they age or from overuse. For arthritis management, you’ll visit us monthly for pain prevention treatments that will be personalized to you and your lifestyle.
Mental Health
As we stated earlier, we understand the body as an interconnected system. We focus on skin rejuvenation and aesthetics because we understand the negative impact that low self-esteem can have on your mental health. But we also offer more targeted forms of anxiety and depression treatment at our medical center near Swansboro that can address the various causes of your mental health concerns.
ExoMind
ExoMind is an advanced transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) device that targets the key areas of your brain responsible for goal-directed behavior, cognitive function, and mood. Using electromagnetic stimulation, it can revitalize neural pathways, leading to improved brain function, emotional balance, and overall wellness. This is considered an alternative treatment for depression, but is not a replacement for medication. However, we can prescribe medications to further support your depression treatment with ExoMind.
Medications and Lifestyle Management
ExoMind works in tandem with medications and other forms of mental health treatment, like therapy. We can prescribe antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications to ease your symptoms, or send a referral for you to see a psychiatrist or other specialist. We also provide you with holistic lifestyle management guidance, because your activity levels, sleep quality, and diet all play major roles in your mental health.
