You can start with a question, not a treatment choice
Tell Corey what you notice, when it matters to you and what you would prefer to avoid. That gives the consultation a useful starting point without locking you into a particular pathway.
For a closer look at the conversation and assessment itself, read what happens during your first facial assessment.
Your first conversation has a simple rhythm
Corey begins by asking what brought you in. He then reviews relevant health history, medicines, allergies, previous care, timing and the features that matter to the concern you described.
If there is an appropriate option to discuss, you will have time to understand the likely plan, material risks, alternatives, fees and what follow-up may involve before you decide. The consultation may also lead to more time, another kind of advice or no treatment.
Same-day treatment is not assumed. It may be discussed only when assessment, consent, timing and your readiness support it.
Bring what makes the conversation easier
| Bring or consider | What is useful | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Your concern | Describe what you notice in ordinary language and when it catches your attention. | It keeps the appointment centred on you, not a treatment label. |
| Your health details | Current medicines, allergies, relevant conditions and recent medical or dental timing. | Accurate information supports an individual assessment. |
| Previous care | Dates, areas, records or questions from care elsewhere, if known. | Context helps Corey understand what has happened before. |
A thoughtful appointment leaves room for every answer
A useful consultation can end with a treatment discussion, a plan to wait, a referral, another review or reassurance that no treatment is needed. The recommendation depends on your history, the concern, timing, consent and the balance of potential benefit and risk.
Core Aesthetics keeps public information focused on the consultation service rather than prescription products. This reflects current TGA guidance for advertising health services. The Ahpra cosmetic procedure guidelines provide the professional framework for registered practitioners.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose an aesthetic clinic?
Start by checking who assesses you, whether consultation comes before treatment, how risks are explained and whether the clinic is comfortable recommending waiting or no treatment. A careful clinic should help you understand suitability, alternatives, consent and review rather than beginning with a fixed product or standard plan.
Is Core Aesthetics suitable if I do not know what treatment I want?
Yes. You can book a consultation with a concern rather than a treatment name. Corey Anderson RN can assess what you notice, your medical history, relevant anatomy, timing and expectations, then discuss whether any option is suitable or whether waiting, review or referral is more appropriate.
Can treatment happen on the same day as consultation?
Some patients may be suitable for same day treatment, but it is not automatic. Corey first needs to assess suitability, risks, consent, timing, expectations and whether proceeding is clinically appropriate. If more time, information or review is needed, the recommendation may be to wait.
What should I bring to a clinic consultation?
Bring your questions, medical history, current medicines, allergies, previous treatment dates if known, recent dental or medical timing and any concerns you want assessed. It is also useful to describe what you want to avoid, because restraint and realistic expectations are part of responsible planning.
Why does practitioner verification matter?
Verification helps confirm who is responsible for assessment and review. Core Aesthetics lists Corey Anderson RN, Ahpra registration NMW0001047575, clinic location and contact details on the verification page so patients can check the practitioner and clinic identity before booking.
Can a clinic recommend no treatment?
Yes. No treatment can be the responsible recommendation when the concern, timing, medical history, risk profile or expectations do not support proceeding. A consultation should leave room for that decision and explain the reasoning clearly, rather than making treatment feel inevitable.
Is local access important when choosing a clinic?
Local access can help if you need consultation, review, staged planning or follow-up questions. It should not be the only reason to choose a clinic, though. Practitioner accountability, consultation quality, suitability assessment and risk discussion matter more than location alone.
What makes this page different from a treatment page?
This page helps patients compare the clinic, practitioner and consultation process. It is not designed to promote a specific treatment. The focus is how to begin safely, what to verify, what the appointment should include and how suitability is assessed before any treatment decision.
Where is Core Aesthetics located?
Core Aesthetics is in Oakleigh in Melbourne’s south east. The full address, phone number and Ahpra verification details are listed in the verification section of this page and on the dedicated verification page so patients can check the details before booking.
What if I have had previous treatment elsewhere?
Tell Corey what you know about previous treatment, timing, concerns and any records you have. Prior treatment can affect suitability, review needs and whether adding more treatment is appropriate. Sometimes the safest next step is assessment, waiting, referral or correction planning rather than immediate treatment.
