The initial consultation is where your story, skin history, and goals meet a concrete plan. A little preparation turns it from a vague “first visit” into a useful clinical conversation.
Where consultation sits in our care path
At The Regenerative Studio, the sequence is: Online Assessment → review → $600 Phase 1 (Total Est. $620) → Initial Consultation → five-session program. Phase 1 and the consultation exist so we are not guessing about candidacy or pacing.
What “prepared” actually means
- Complete the assessment honestly — medications, sensitivities, and prior procedures matter
- Note what bothers you most in natural light, not only in filters
- List products you use daily, including acids and retinoids
- Bring questions about downtime, series length, and aftercare
What we hope to learn together
Federica Mingotti uses the consultation to understand barrier status, healing history, lifestyle constraints, and whether regenerative microneedling is the right tool — or whether foundations need attention first.
Helpful comparisons to think through beforehand
- Are you seeking remodeling (texture/tone) or correction (volume/movement)?
- Can you protect a recovery window around work in Short Pump, West End Richmond, or elsewhere?
- Is a five-session program realistic for your calendar this season?
Logistics for Glen Allen visits
We are hosted at Wen Acupuncture & Wellness, 3900 Springfield Rd, Glen Allen VA 23060. Arrive a few minutes early, with clean skin if requested, and clothing that makes it easy to discuss face and neck concerns comfortably.
Decision criteria after you leave
- Do you understand why a series is recommended (or why waiting is wiser)?
- Are aftercare instructions clear enough to follow on busy weeks?
- Do you feel informed — not rushed — about next steps?
FAQ
Do I need to decide the same day?
No. Good consultations leave room to think. Clarity matters more than urgency.
Where should I start if I have not begun yet?
