New Med Spa Opens in Carrousel Court Shopping Center

By Ron Aaron Eisenberg

 

For Kelley, a registered nurse, and Chris Atkinson, a medical doctor, Radiant Heights Med Spa is the culmination of a dream. The couple, both medical professionals, worked together many years ago at the University of North Carolina. Now, they are partnering in a non-surgical aesthetic medicine treatment spa.

 

Their clinic opened in April 2024. It offers a number of services for women and men aimed at restoring and enhancing beauty in a safe, cost-effective manner. The services include skin pen microneedling, VI peels, chemical peels, neurotoxins, dermal fillers, and sclerotherapy, a treatment for varicose or spider veins.

 

The couple completely remodeled the space, which sits at the rear of the Carrousel Court Shopping Center, 1860 Nacogdoches Rd., across from the Oak Park H-E-B.

 

As one of their first clients told me, “It is such a warm, professional, and welcoming clinic. The moment I walked through the door, I knew this was a place I wanted to be.”

 

Dr. Atkinson graduated medical school from the Uniform Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, MD. His residence was at San Antonio Military Medical Center. He subspecialized in the field of Neuroradiology at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has 8 years of experience as a radiologist with a subspecialty in Neuroradiology. He is an expert in head and neck anatomy and the use of image guided procedures. He serves as the medical director and provider at Radiant Heights.

 

Kelley Atkinson, RN, graduated from the University of Colorado with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and later returned to nursing school at Georgetown University in Washington, DC where she graduated with honors with a second Bachelor’s degree in nursing, as a RN. She has worked as a nurse for over 14 years, 7 of which were in the field of interventional radiology, where she became more familiar with image-guided procedures. With a background in psychology and nursing, she is excellent at understanding, meeting, and exceeding the needs of her clients.

 

Kelley told me she “loves being a nurse.” And she loved the patients she saw in the hospital, where she most recently worked. “But” she said, “there is a wonderful difference between my hospital patients and the women and men I am helping at our clinic.

 

“People who come here want to be here. In the hospital, all things considered, they would have rather not have been there.”

 

The couple told me they opened Radiant Heights because of their strong interest in aesthetic medicine, helping people to see their most beautiful self, inside and out coupled with a commitment to patient care.

 

The clinic is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday from 8am to 6pm. Other days by appointment.
