Your First Visit to ÉLEVÉ: What to Expect from Consultation to Treatment

Walking into a new medspa for the first time can feel a little intimidating. You’re trusting someone with your face, your body, your confidence — and you deserve to know exactly who’s treating you and what’s going to happen. I want to take that uncertainty off your plate before you ever walk through our door.

I’m Kelli, the APRN and founder of ÉLEVÉ Regenerative Aesthetics & Wellbeing in Lenexa. Before I ever picked up a syringe, I was a Navy Hospital Corpsman. That background shaped how I practice today — every treatment here is rooted in clinical discipline, real medical judgment, and the belief that your safety always comes before a result.

ÉLEVÉ is a private studio located inside Image Studios in Lenexa — one room, one provider. You won’t see a traditional storefront from the street, and that sometimes surprises first-time patients, so plan on that when you pull up. Once you’re inside Image Studios, you’ll find me in my suite, where it’s just you and me for the full appointment. No hand-offs, no rotating injectors, no rushed room flips. That’s on purpose.

And this matters just as much: ÉLEVÉ is open to everyone. This is a no-judgment space. Whether you’ve never had a treatment in your life, you’re coming in with questions you’re embarrassed to ask anywhere else, you’re navigating weight loss, menopause, low testosterone, or you just want to feel a little more like yourself again — you are welcome here. I don’t care what you look like when you walk in. I care about where you want to go and whether I can help you get there.

Here’s exactly what to expect from the moment you book.

Before You Arrive

Once your appointment is booked, you’ll receive a health history form and a brief skin analysis from me ahead of time. I ask patients to fill those out as soon as they get the paperwork — not the morning of. This gives me a real snapshot of your health and your skin before we ever meet, so when you walk in, I’m not starting from zero. I’ve already spent time with your story.

A Warm Welcome

You’ll be greeted personally when you arrive — no front desk runaround, no waiting room shuffle. Because we’re a private studio, your appointment is yours. You’re the only patient in the space.

The Consultation

I never rush this part. Before I talk about any treatment, I want to hear what’s actually bothering you — what you see in the mirror, what you wish looked different, what makes you feel like yourself on your best days. Some patients come in with a specific request (“I want Daxxify”). Others just know something feels off and want help figuring out where to start. Both are welcome.

From there, we’ll talk through:

  • Your facial anatomy and how your muscles move when you smile, frown, and talk
  • Your skin quality, texture, and any sun damage or tone issues
  • Your goals and your timeline — a wedding, a reunion, or just wanting to feel better day-to-day
  • Your lifestyle, sleep, hormones, and energy (because confidence isn’t just skin-deep)

When I recommend a treatment, I explain why in plain language — no jargon — and I send you home with a brochure on it so you can do your homework. I tell every patient: I want you to research what I’m suggesting. Ask me questions. Come back with more.

Here’s what I want you to know about how I practice: I am not an injector who just injects. I don’t do a laser just to do a laser. If I wouldn’t do it on myself, I’m not going to do it on you. Every recommendation I make is something I genuinely believe will move you toward your goal — not toward my revenue target.

Talking Through Your Treatment Options

Neurotoxins — Botox, Daxxify, Dysport, Jeuveau. You have options, and part of my job is helping you pick the right one. Botox is the most well-known name in the category and a reliable workhorse. Daxxify, Dysport, and Jeuveau each have their own profile — onset time, duration, how they spread, how they feel — and the best choice depends on your anatomy, your goals, and how your body has responded in the past. I’ll walk you through the trade-offs and help you choose what fits you, not what’s trending. Whichever neurotoxin we choose, the goal is the same: soften the muscles that create dynamic lines — your 11s, forehead, and crow’s feet — without freezing your expression. You should still look like you.

Dermal fillers. If you’ve lost volume in your cheeks, temples, or around your mouth, we’ll talk about where filler can restore structure and how much product is realistic for your goals. I’d rather undertreat and bring you back than overfill. Subtle always wins.

*NOUVADerm laser resurfacing. For sun damage, texture, tone, fine lines, and — importantly — skin laxity from weight loss, I use the NOUVADerm. It’s a highly customizable laser that I can tune to the correction your skin needs, and because of that customization, it’s safe and effective across most skin tones* — not just the lighter end of the spectrum that many lasers are limited to. If you’ve lost a significant amount of weight and your skin hasn’t snapped back the way you hoped, this is often the tool that changes that.

Cellenis PRP and Cellenis DermaPRP. When we want to stimulate your own collagen and growth factors, PRP is one of my favorite tools. I’ll explain the difference between Cellenis PRP and Cellenis DermaPRP and which protocol fits what you’re trying to achieve.

Internal Wellness: Weight Loss and BHRT

Confidence isn’t just what shows up in the mirror. If you’re exhausted, carrying stubborn weight, or feeling like your hormones aren’t where they used to be, that affects how you feel in your own skin — and no amount of filler fixes that.

Medical weight loss with compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide. I run a medically supervised weight loss program using locally compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, sourced from a licensed local compounding pharmacy. Local compounding means a shorter supply chain, pharmacists I can actually pick up the phone and talk to, and medication that’s prepared under the same FDA-regulated standards you’d expect from any legitimate compounding pharmacy. You get monthly check-ins with me, lab work when it’s indicated, and real nutrition and lifestyle coaching. This isn’t a prescription pad — it’s a program.

BHRT for men and women. Bioidentical hormone replacement isn’t just a women’s treatment. Low energy, poor sleep, brain fog, low libido, and stubborn weight are symptoms I see in both men and women — and BHRT is often part of the answer. We’ll start with labs and build a plan from there.

What the Treatment Itself Is Like

Once we agree on a plan, we move into the treatment room. I use topical numbing before any injection that needs it, I check in with you throughout, and I work in a sterile, focused environment. Most aesthetic treatments are faster than patients expect — the consult and the comfort work take longer than the procedure itself.

Before you leave, you’ll get written aftercare: what to avoid for the next 24 to 48 hours, what’s normal, what’s not, and exactly how to reach me if you have a question.

Follow-Up: I Don't Just Treat and Disappear

The follow-up is where I really want my patients to feel the difference. Depending on what we did, I want to see you again — and the timeline depends on the treatment:

  • Laser treatments: I check in with you in the first couple of days post-treatment to make sure you’re healing well and answer any questions as your skin goes through the recovery phase.
  • Neurotoxins: A 2- to 3-week follow-up, depending on which neurotoxin we used — onset time varies by brand. That window gives the product time to fully set in so we can see the result and fine-tune if anything needs a touch-up.
  • Dermal filler: Typically a 2-week follow-up to check how the product settled.
  • Weight loss: Check-ins are weekly or monthly depending on where you are in the program and what your body needs — some patients do better with closer contact early on, others are steady on a monthly cadence. We’ll figure out your rhythm together.
  • BHRT: We draw labs when they’re needed and make adjustments as your levels call for them. Many of my BHRT patients tell me they rarely get bloodwork done anywhere else — I want full optimization, and that only happens when we have current numbers to work from.

My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable with me — to trust me and believe in what I’m doing. That trust is built through follow-up, honest conversation, and showing up for you after the appointment is over. That’s the whole point.
