A clinic built around the conversation
Core Aesthetics is a nurse-led aesthetic clinic in Oakleigh where you meet directly with Corey Anderson RN for consultation, assessment and follow-up. The approach is personal and unhurried: start with what you have noticed, understand the reasonable options, then decide whether treatment, waiting or another pathway feels right for you.
You do not need to arrive knowing a treatment name or having made a decision. Bring the concern, the questions and the context that matter to you. Corey will help turn them into a clear conversation about suitability, priorities and next steps.
What makes the experience feel different?
Your story stays together
Corey listens, assesses, plans and remains your point of contact, so you are not repeatedly starting again with someone new.
Questions come before decisions
Your first visit can simply be a conversation. There is room to understand the options, ask questions and take time to decide.
The concern is seen in context
Corey considers what you notice alongside facial movement, skin, health history, previous care and what you hope to preserve.
You know who to contact
If you proceed with care, review and questions remain with the practitioner who knows the plan and its context.
Your first visit starts with you
Begin with the part that feels easiest to explain: a change you have noticed, something that no longer feels like you, or a question you have been carrying. Corey will listen before narrowing the conversation.
Your appointment can include your health history, medicines, allergies, previous cosmetic care, facial movement, skin and the practical timing around your life. You can bring notes or relevant records if they help; you do not need a polished explanation.
The aim is clarity. You should leave understanding the reasonable pathway, why it fits the assessment and what you may want to consider before deciding.
A useful consultation can lead in different directions
A suitable plan becomes clear
Corey explains what may be reasonable, including the material risks, alternatives, aftercare and costs, before you decide.
You want space to think
You can leave with information, consider it in your own time and return to the conversation only if it feels right.
Waiting or referral fits better
Sometimes observation, skin care, medical or dental review, or no treatment is the more useful recommendation.
Thoughtful care is not a fixed aesthetic
Core Aesthetics is not built around trends or a house look. The starting point is the individual in front of Corey: what you value about your appearance, what has changed and what would feel too much.

Care that keeps your priorities in view
Corey looks at the whole picture rather than isolating one feature. That includes facial balance and movement, skin, health context, previous care and the expressions or characteristics you want to keep.
Conservative planning means choosing only what is proportionate and being comfortable saying that less, later or nothing at all is the better answer. It also means explaining limits honestly rather than treating a consultation as a foregone conclusion.
If an option is suitable, the plan should make sense in plain language. You will have an opportunity to discuss alternatives, material risks, expected aftercare and costs before giving consent.
When pausing is part of good care
A routine aesthetic consultation may need to wait when you are unwell, the area has active infection or unhealed skin, a concern is painful or changing quickly, health history needs clarification, or you do not feel ready to decide. A medical, dental or other clinical pathway may sometimes need to come first.
For sudden facial weakness or other urgent symptoms, seek appropriate medical care rather than waiting for a routine cosmetic appointment. Healthdirect’s stroke guidance explains the FAST warning signs and emergency response.
What to expect at the Oakleigh clinic
You will meet directly with Corey for a private conversation about what you have noticed and what you would like to understand.
Bring your medical history, medicines, allergies and details of relevant previous care. You are welcome to bring questions or use the appointment for information only. If an option is suitable, costs are discussed before you decide.
Come in and see whether the clinic feels right for you
Meet Corey, talk through what has brought you in and leave with a clearer sense of the next step, without assuming you need to proceed.

Frequently asked questions
Who is behind Core Aesthetics?
Core Aesthetics is led by Corey Anderson RN, a registered nurse listed with Ahpra under registration NMW0001047575. Corey conducts consultation and treatment planning personally, so patients know who is assessing them, who is making the clinical decision and who is accountable for the plan discussed.
What does consultation led care mean here?
Consultation led care means the appointment starts with assessment, medical history, suitability, risk, alternatives and consent. Treatment is not treated as automatic. The consultation may clarify that treatment is suitable, that more time is needed, or that another pathway is more appropriate.
Can treatment be discussed on the same day?
Yes, some patients may discuss treatment on the same day as consultation, but only if Corey decides it is clinically appropriate after assessment. Same day treatment is not automatic and should not proceed unless the patient understands risks, limits, aftercare and alternatives.
Can Corey recommend no treatment?
Yes. No treatment, waiting, review, medical care, dental care or referral may be the right advice when a concern is outside scope, timing is wrong, expectations are unsafe or the risk profile does not support proceeding. That is part of responsible care.
How can patients verify Corey Anderson RN?
Patients can use the Verify Core Aesthetics page, the team page and the Ahpra public register to check Corey Anderson RN and registration NMW0001047575. Verification should be done before relying on clinic information, especially when a public directory or third party listing looks inconsistent.
What should a first time patient bring?
Bring medical history, medicines, supplements, allergy details, previous cosmetic treatment information where relevant, current skin care, photographs only if useful for discussion and questions about risk, suitability and timing. The aim is to make the consultation more accurate, not to force a decision.
What consultation areas can patients start with?
Patients may start with facial ageing, expression lines, tired appearance, volume or shape concerns, skin quality, sweating concerns, previous treatment review, safety questions or uncertainty about where to begin. A concern does not need to be matched to a treatment name before booking.
Where is Core Aesthetics located?
Core Aesthetics is in Oakleigh and supports patients from Melbourne and nearby suburbs. Patients can use the Contact page for current clinic details, practical questions and location checks, then use the Book page when they are ready to arrange consultation.
How are costs discussed at Core Aesthetics?
Costs are discussed after Corey has assessed the concern, the areas involved, timing, medical history and whether treatment discussion is appropriate. Pricing should support informed planning, not pressure a decision before consultation.
What should I read before booking with Core Aesthetics?
Start with the Verify Core Aesthetics page, consultation led cosmetic treatment, patient safety, pricing, contact and book. Those pages explain practitioner identity, consultation boundaries, practical clinic details and what to expect before attending.
