A Consultation Transforms Vision to Reality

Imagine hiring a guide to explore America’s most stunning scenery without making plans. You arrive for the trip bursting with ideas inspired by mesmerizing advertisements of Alabama’s caves, and Instagram reels showcasing the vivid colors of Antelope Canyon’s rocks. Your mom insists you see the ancient Angel Oak near Charleston while your co-workers rave about the radiant sunsets over Big Bend National Park. And if your two-week vacation and moderate budget allow, you’d love to cap off the tour with the Salt Flats in Utah.

Without consulting your guide, you miss the chance to leverage their expertise in crafting a masterfully planned itinerary of the best sights. While your trip includes a few highlights, it’s disappointing to realize that fulfilling all your requests is nearly impossible.

This scenario underscores the importance of a consultation, as a hope-it-works approach rarely delivers optimal results in medical aesthetics. At Symbios Medical Spa, we listen to your concerns and provide expert advice for a results-oriented course of action. By discussing your options and considering all factors – such as age, skin type, budget, and downtime – we create a personalized treatment plan designed to meet and exceed your expectations.

The welcoming atmosphere at Symbios Medical Spa makes your consultation a relaxed conversation all about you and bringing out your best. This first step toward your treatment includes the following:

1. Understanding Your Unique Needs

During this time, our experienced team takes the opportunity to learn about you, including your medical history, lifestyle, and previous treatments. We listen to your specific concerns and desired appearance. Whether you aim to rejuvenate your skin or sculpt your figure, understanding your background allows us to tailor our recommendations to fit your unique situation.

2. Exploring a Range of Options

Medical aesthetics and wellness treatments have advanced significantly, allowing us to present multiple options to address various concerns. We explain each procedure’s benefits, risks, and expected outcomes to ensure you are well-informed and confident in your choices.

3. Creating a Customized Treatment Plan

After discussing your needs and options, we develop a personalized treatment plan that effectively and efficiently addresses your concerns. This plan may include a combination of treatments or multiple sessions to achieve maximum outcomes with minimal downtime.

4. Your Questions Build Trust and Confidence

Helpful examples of questions:

Asking about potential side effects, pain, or recovery times can alleviate anxiety and set realistic expectations, making you more comfortable with your chosen treatments.
Questions regarding follow-up appointments are important as continuous evaluation allows us to monitor your progress, make necessary adjustments, and address new concerns.
Will a different skincare regimen further improve results? Certain medical-grade skincare products may be recommended to help you receive the best possible outcome.
Ask about combining treatments to improve results and save time. (For example, PRP can be added to boost micro-needling results).

Prepare for your consultation by prioritizing your concerns and considering a preferred timeline for any recommended procedures. To take the first step toward a more beautiful and confident you, call 843-738-4000 and schedule your consultation with Symbios Medical Spa today.

I recently had a yearly wellness visit at this new facility. It is clean and very welcoming inside. The staff folks were great from start to finish. The appointment was right on time as scheduled. Dr. Luther was very nice and attentive to all I had to say. Following up with an appropriate referral as needed. It is really really nice to have the labs done right there. They do a follow-up telehealth visit to review your labs with you which is really reassuring to the patient. The portal also works very smoothly and is easy to use . Can’t say enough good about my visit.

Dr. Luther, you are a man with a long-term vision! This sort of vision is rare. In my 69 years, I have only seen it in my mother, Pastor Owens, and you. It was quite a feat to leave your corporate medical office to form a new practice, incorporating your vision, time, planning, effort, money, and fortitude. You created a great primary care team and added many more services to focus on the whole person, such as the lab, women’s care, physical therapy, spa, and gym. Your steady and faith-filled leadership meets the needs of the entire person, both inside and out. You have the best bedside manner, bar none.

Working with Stephanie in pelvic floor physical therapy has been an amazing experience as I had bladder prolapse which improved significantly with therapy. Also other symptoms related to urgency and inability to completely void have also gotten much better. Stephanie is a true professional and has been able to make what could have been an uncomfortable or embarrassing experience feel completely relaxed and normal. She is also able to follow my lead in using humor when it is helpful. She encourages me to do my exercises on my own without preaching. I would recommend Stephanie and this PT for anyone dealing with female related issues. We will also be working on increasing opportunities for more comfortable intimacy with my husband. So everyone is happy.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Luther and Dr. Wright. Both are amazing. I have been a patient of Dr. Luther for years and his bedside manners are like no other. Dr. Wright I have seen for the last couple of months. He listens to your concerns and doesn’t rush you. Your concerns matter to both of them and make you feel at ease after each visit. These two are the best of the best. No one can compare to them.

I had the signature facial at Symbios Medical Spa – it was absolutely wonderful. The aesthetician was outstanding – she has a way of making you feel so relaxed and pampered, while taking great care of your skin. The facilities are clean and everything you’d expect in a medical spa. Knowing that Symbios was launched by Dr. Stephen Luther, I felt certain that there would be a focus on doing the best possible for the patient/patient. I was so impressed that I’ve signed up for additional treatments.
