medicine, healthcare and people concept - female doctor with tablet pc computer talking to smiling woman patient at hospital
Every aesthetic consultation begins as a conversation between the provider and patient about cosmetic concerns. We spend time talking about everything from what you have already tried to the results you are hoping to have after the treatment, before we ever move on to recommendations.
Our patients come first at Radiant Reflections, where no two treatment plans are built the same way. We have years of experience across a wide range of aesthetic services, which gives us more options when finding treatments that will benefit our patients in Hattiesburg, MS. Even within the treatments themselves, there are always ways to customize the experience.
Each patient walks in the door with a different set of challenges and characteristics that need to be considered. Factors like skin health, ethnicity and facial structure determine which treatments are suitable, as do personal preferences like how much downtime is feasible and which concerns are being treated. We make sure to discuss all of these when meeting a new patient to make sure we understand the scope of each person’s aesthetic goals.
The visit also helps set clear expectations about different treatment options, including which ones will be most effective and how long it can take to see results. With a detailed discussion, we can prioritize safety and outcomes, and make sure you leave feeling fully informed.
Schedule a consultation to review your concerns, discuss treatment options and create a plan that fits your goals and timeline.
We specialize in treatments like CoolSculpting® and dermal fillers, where it is important to consider each person’s unique body shape and facial anatomy. When sculpting the face or body, we always consider the surrounding features to decide how much to add or take away. We also consult the desires of our patients, who may want a more noticeable result or something a little more subtle.
We consider how each treatment will improve your skin health in the long-term, with the goal of delivering a high value, long-term investment for you. We want to refresh and rejuvenate your appearance now, while using treatments that will continue to improve your skin over time. It is our goal to guide you to options that give you consistent results even as your skin changes.
When a patient comes to us for lip filler or another similar treatment, we do not treat the lips at the expense of other features on the face. We make sure that the size and shape of your final result looks balanced with your brow’s cheeks, jawline and nose. Sometimes, subtle adjustments in other areas can give you a more natural-looking improvement.

Each customized treatment is guided by the leadership of Dr. Otaigbe. As the medical director, she provides clinical oversight for all non-surgical aesthetic services and shapes how treatment plans are developed. She has a background in preventative care and wellness, which brings a more balanced perspective to aesthetics, with a focus on long-term skin health.
When you have a physician guiding your treatments, you will receive care that is less focused on current trends and more focused on long-term results. Each plan is medically informed and structured to take into account factors like expected aging patterns and facial anatomy.
Our combined experience means that we draw from a wide range of backgrounds and clinical insight when making decisions with our patients. We have seen how different skin types and tones respond to our treatments, and what type of results we can expect. Patients also benefit from years of hands-on practice with the treatment options we offer.
We offer an aesthetic treatment for nearly every concern and stage of life. Our offerings include injectables and laser-based treatments to smooth and resurface the face. We offer skin tightening treatments for the face and body, hair rejuvenation, weight loss assistance and body contouring. Dr. Otaigbe is CoolSculpting University certified, and her practice received the Club 500 award for CoolSculpting in 2018 for completing over 500 treatment cycles in one year. You can also receive feminine rejuvenation and hair reduction treatments at our practice, along with massage therapy and facials.
We want Radiant Reflections to be your long-term aesthetic home. We build relationships that allow us to understand how your goals are changing, and familiarity with your history will help us customize your treatments even better with time. You will have consistent and thoughtful aesthetic care for all of your aesthetic concerns.
The first step of any consultation is taking the time to understand why you chose us and what your aesthetic goals are. We listen closely as you describe your concerns, past experiences and areas that feel most important to you right now. Then we take these priorities and begin to form them into a treatment plan.
One of the benefits of working with a physician is that they have a deeper knowledge of facial anatomy and how each feature relates to the others. Bone structure, muscle strength, placement and face shape are all important when planning injectables or when determining locations for threads in a thread lift.
During a consultation, your skin will also be examined for thickness, hydration, tone and overall health. We use different lasers and energy treatments for those with dark or sensitive skin than we would for someone with lighter or more resilient skin. Factors like texture, pore size, skin elasticity and skin type are also considered as we find suitable treatments.
We will take a look at all of your relevant health information, including:
Some treatments work well together, like dermal fillers and neuromodulators, while others should not be performed during the same visit. We consider how treatment options interact with each other before combining them, and space them out as needed. Because skin and patient needs sometimes change during a series of treatments, we adapt the plan whenever needed to accommodate these changes.
Get in touch with us to talk through next steps and see which aesthetic treatments in Hattiesburg, MS, are right for you.
We often favor an approach that creates gradual changes with time rather than trying to achieve everything in a single visit. It is often best to start with smaller adjustments so we can evaluate your skin and facial structure as we progress through the stages of the treatment plan. We also make sure you look balanced from every angle, whether still or in motion.
Not everyone comes in with the same schedule, commitments, flexibility or lifestyle, and this matters when building a treatment plan. Some patients are good candidates for same-day treatments and can go straight from the consultation into cosmetic injectables or facials. Other patients respond better to a phased plan that takes place over several weeks or months. We also factor in any upcoming events that our patients have, travel plans, and seasonal considerations. We plan with budget in mind and availability for maintenance treatments, finding a pace that is manageable and sustainable.
In Hattiesburg, MS, fall and winter bring the relief of cooler temperatures and reduced sun exposure. This can be a good time to schedule more intensive treatments that require more downtime. Cooler weather makes it more comfortable to recover from options like laser treatments, and a reduced chance of sun exposure gives the skin time to heal. This can be a good time to reset skin health and build a stronger foundation before warmer months return.
These seasons in Hattiesburg bring higher humidity, which can be good for the skin in some ways, and more challenging in others. There is also more exposure to the sun and a higher risk of sunburn and irritation. Patients are often busy during these months with work and travel. However, some treatments can be suitable for the spring and summer. Facials can calm irritation and address breakouts and signs of aging. Injectables can be good, minimally invasive options to use before a wedding or other special event, and CoolSculpting can help you reduce excess fat.
A thoughtful consultation gives you more clarity about the timing of your treatment and all of your treatment options. At Radiant Reflections, we build plans that account for skin health, facial balance, lifestyle, preferences and maintenance, and we think about how all of our treatments will suit your aesthetic in the long-term.
With her background in preventative medicine and wellness, Dr. Otaigbe brings a broader perspective to every service. Patients in Hattiesburg, MS, benefit from physician-guided care and natural-looking outcomes. To take the next step, call 601-268-7777 or schedule a consultation online.
