About Radiant Esthetics

What is Radiant Esthetics?

Radiant Esthetics is a woman-owned medical spa at 208 Bellevue Ave, 2nd Floor, in Newport, Rhode Island. Most of what it offers is aesthetic: injectables, laser therapy, facials, Hydrafacials, PRF injections, collagen stimulating treatments, Broadband Light Therapy and IV therapy. Menopause Services is on the same list, and it is the only service that involves hormone therapy. The clinic was founded in 2017, and its Google listing shows a 4.9 rating from 93 reviews.

Four nurse practitioners are named as prescribers: Jana Magarian, APRN, FNP, who is the owner; Julia Horan, APRN, MSN; Amber Savoie, APRN, FNP, MSN; and Joanna Lanz, APRN, FNP-BC, MSN. Registered nurses and estheticians also work in the office, but they are not named as prescribers. The clinic's blog describes two kinds of hormone therapy, FDA-approved menopause hormone therapy (MHT, also called HRT) and bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT). It says BHRT is often prepared in compounding pharmacies. Which hormone medicines the clinic prescribes is not stated.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. For menopause care, it offers this in its own words: "Discover how our menopause care services are now covered by commercial insurance, making expert hormone replacement therapy (HRT), non-hormonal treatments, and preventive care more accessible." That is a statement about coverage, not a list of plans, so ask which insurers it bills and which visits are included. It lists memberships and payment plans but gives no terms. No consultation fee is stated, and it does not say whether a hormone fee includes the medication.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and signs the prescription, and whether it will be one of the four nurse practitioners named above. Ask which commercial plans it bills for menopause visits, what you would pay after insurance, and whether any monthly fee or price includes the medication. Ask whether the hormone is FDA-approved or compounded, since the clinic's own blog draws that line. Ask what the consultation, follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether telehealth is offered, which is not stated. Before you pay for a membership or payment plan, ask for the cancellation terms in writing.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want skin and aesthetic treatments and a hormone conversation in the same office, and you are willing to get answers about the prescriber, the medication and the price in writing before you pay. If hormone care is the main reason you are coming, or you need telehealth or published prices, ask those questions before you decide.
