What to Expect at Your First Aesthetic Medicine Consultation

If you've never had a Botox, filler, or microneedling consultation before, not knowing what to expect can be the biggest barrier to booking one. Here's exactly what a first visit with Dr. Natoshia Goodman actually looks like.

It Starts With a Conversation, Not a Sales Pitch

Your consultation begins with Dr. Goodman asking about your goals — what's bothering you, what you're hoping to soften or enhance, and what "success" would actually look like for you. This isn't a scripted upsell toward a specific treatment; it's a real conversation about what you want, followed by an honest assessment of what would actually help.

A Real Skin and Facial Assessment

From there, Dr. Goodman evaluates your skin and facial structure directly — looking at things like static vs. dynamic wrinkles (ones that show at rest vs. only when you move your face), volume loss, and skin texture. This is what separates a genuine consultation from someone just recommending whatever's on sale that month.

Discussing Your Options

Depending on your goals, this might include:

• Neuromodulators (Botox) for dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movement

• Dermal fillers for volume loss or contouring

• Microneedling for overall skin texture and collagen support

• PRP (platelet-rich plasma) for a more regenerative approach

• Medical-grade skincare to support results between treatments

You'll leave with a clear understanding of what's actually recommended for you specifically — not a generic package.

No Obligation, No Pressure

This consultation is free, and there's no expectation that you book a treatment on the spot. Plenty of guests come in just to ask questions and understand their options before deciding on anything.

When You Can Book

Dr. Goodman is in-office on Thursdays, 10am–4pm, so scheduling ahead is worth doing if you have a specific date in mind.
