About
Regenerative microneedling — practiced with care
The Regenerative Studio is a regenerative microneedling practice — not a spa, not a med spa menu, not a general wellness clinic. Federica Mingotti delivers highly personal, assessment-led microneedling care today, while building a studio designed to welcome practitioners in — so the standard of care can grow beyond any one clinician’s calendar.

Philosophy
Philosophy of care
Care here is unhurried, precise, and relational. People are met as whole — not as a sequence of aesthetic transactions or a same-week needle appointment sold from a front desk.
Microneedling at the studio begins with listening: Online Assessment, practitioner review, and Initial Consultation before any treatment pathway opens. Outcomes are never promised; presence, clarity, and individualized planning are.
Recognition
Recognition through regeneration
When skin care is paced and clinically guided, clarity returns about what is appropriate — and what is not. When clarity returns, choice becomes possible.
You do not become someone new. You regenerate access to how you want to feel and show up in your own skin.
Personal regeneration
What microneedling care supports
Four clear intentions — each paired with a concern microneedling is built to address — presented as one clinical frame, not a spa menu of unrelated modalities.
Restore
Acne scarring
Support scar remodeling and uneven texture through paced collagen-induction care — assessment first, then a structured revision pathway when appropriate.
- Restore · Acne scarring — Support scar remodeling and uneven texture through paced collagen-induction care — assessment first, then a structured revision pathway when appropriate.
- Renew · Fine lines — Support fine lines and healthy-aging vitality with a multi-phase regenerative plan — never framed as reversal or erasure.
- Refine · Skin damage — Support tone, sun damage, and surface clarity with intention — refining how skin reads without promising blank-slate erasure.
- Rebuild · Hair loss — Support thinning and scalp vitality through a structured hair-restoration pathway — progress tracked over time, scope confirmed clinically.
Why The Regenerative Studio
Regeneration here means restoring alignment with who you are — in skin, confidence, and how you show up — through clinically guided microneedling care.
Studio signals more than a room: a cultivated practice environment with standards, pathways, and systems that can be taught, staffed, and carried forward — considered and calm, never high-volume aesthetics.
Building the studio
Beginning with her hands — built to stay consistent
Federica is founding this practice by delivering care herself. That is deliberate: early clinical relationships set the tone for presence, clarity, and integrity before capacity expands.
The aim is a studio whose standards outlast any single calendar — so the care you receive stays paced, assessment-led, and recognizable as you, even as the practice grows.
Practitioner pathways stay open for people who share that standard — paced invitation, not urgent hiring theater. If you are exploring joining the work, begin on Careers.

Background
Professional background
Federica Mingotti is a nationally board-certified and Virginia state-licensed acupuncturist. She holds a Master of Science in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine from Lotus Professional College in Richmond, and a certificate in Cosmetic Acupuncture from Pacific College of Health and Science in San Diego. She practices within the scope of her professional licensure through Ming Acupuncture, LLC.
At The Regenerative Studio, her clinical focus is regenerative microneedling: Online Assessment, Initial Consultation, eligibility decisions, and guided multi-phase pathways for healthy aging, scar revision, and hair and scalp support when appropriate. She is building the operating rhythm of that care now — so future practitioners can step into the same standards.
After a decade in the corporate world, she knows how chronic stress can quietly disconnect people from their own bodies. That lived experience shapes how she practices: with calm attention, clear listening, and care planned around what matters most to you.
Her path began in Italy, sparked by a deep interest in plants and a growing unease with the mind–body split she saw in conventional health culture. Intensive herbal study led to three years of naturopathy at Scuola Ting Spazzavento, then two years of energetic nutrition at Scuola Tao. After moving to the U.S. in 2018, she trained in massage therapy and completed advanced study in Oriental medicine. That formation informs her clinical judgment; it is not a separate menu of studio services.
Outside the studio, she finds restoration outdoors. Time in nature keeps her close to the rhythms she works to honor in care.

Areas of focus
Healthy aging
A five-phase microneedling pathway oriented around texture, fine lines, and radiance — with Online Assessment and Initial Consultation before any treatment phase begins. Framed as healthy aging and stewardship, never as reversal or erasure.
Acne & scar revision
Structured microneedling care for acne scarring and uneven texture, planned across phases with recovery support between visits. Enrollment does not skip clinical eligibility.
Hair & scalp support
Microneedling and related scalp-oriented care when clinically indicated, with progress tracked across a pathway rather than as one-off sessions without context.
Assessment-led entry
New patients begin with the Online Assessment. Practitioner review, Phase 1 payment, and a brief Initial Consultation with a Microneedling Test precede the five-session program — so care opens only when it is appropriate.
