IV Infusion
Available for established patients only
Certain medications are sometimes unable to be taken orally as the digestive system cannot effectively process them. For our current, established patients, we offer IV infusion if unable to take medicine orally. For those suffering from underlying conditions such as arthritis or lupus, an IV infusion treatment can help by administering medicine intravenously through the veins. This method also helps properly dose medication, allowing it to be dripped slowly into the bloodstream.
DEXA Scans
(bone density scan/X-rays)
Available for established patients only
A DEXA (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry) scan is a medical x-ray imaging procedure that measures and reveals the mineral content and density of your bones in specific areas of your body. This helps for assessing body composition and visceral fat. This quick and painless test can help assess your chances of developing osteoporosis (bone loss) and bone fractures or breaks based on your bones’ current condition. It can also be used for tracking and observing the changes in your bones and for showing your body’s muscle and fat composition, which can be very helpful for determining the relevant preventive measures to take to protect your health.
Vitamin IV Infusion
Available for established patients only
Optimize your health and vitality with IV vitamin therapy, a powerful solution for enhancing overall well-being.
Through the process of IV vitamin infusions, we deliver higher concentrations of essential vitamins and minerals directly into your system, surpassing what can be safely consumed orally.
These nutrients are swiftly absorbed into your bloodstream and channeled into your cells, leading to noticeable health improvements both during and shortly after treatment.
At Satilla Rheumatology in Waycross, GA, our Vitamin Infusion Services, including Immune, B-Lean, and Get up & Go, are designed with your health and safety as top priorities. Throughout each session, we diligently monitor your vital signs and recommend infusions tailored to your specific needs.

For your safety, we would like to inform our patients that the technologies behind EXION Face and Body applicators utilize Radiofrequency (RF) and High-Intensity Focused Electro-Magnetic (HIFEM) energies.

RF Microneedling by BTL Exion® stands out from traditional microneedling due to its integration of radiofrequency (RF) energy.
Here’s how they differ:
1. Technology:
- Traditional microneedling uses fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic production through the body’s natural healing process. It primarily targets the superficial layers of the skin.
- BTL Exion® is a Single-Pass RF Microneedling: This protocol uses microneedles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin while delivering radiofrequency energy for enhanced collagen and elastin production, improved skin texture, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, and for firmer, more youthful skin. It penetrates deeper, addressing both surface and deeper skin concerns, making it more effective for issues like severe wrinkles and laxity.
2. Benefits:
- Traditional microneedling is ideal for improving skin texture, reducing fine line, and minimizing scars.
- Exion® RF Microneedling is better suited for skin tightening, reducing and treating deeper wrinkles and scars.
3. Results:
- Traditional microneedling provides gradual improvements in skin texture and tone. Results typically last 6 to 12 months, depending on factors like skin type, lifestyle, and skincare routine.
- Exion® RF Microneedling offers more dramatic results, including firmer and tighter skin, due to the added RF energy. Results can last 12 to 18 months or even longer, as the RF energy stimulates deeper collagen production and skin tightening. Maintenance sessions may be needed less frequently, around 12 to 18 months, depending on individual skin concerns and goals.
For your safety, we would like to inform our patients that the technologies behind EXION RF Microneedling utilize Radiofrequency (RF) and High-Intensity Focused Electro-Magnetic (HIFEM) energies. As a result, this treatment is not suitable for individuals with electronic and metal implants, cardiac conditions, history of seizures or epilepsy, recent surgical procedures in the treatment area, and those who are pregnant and breastfeeding.
