Cosmetic clinic consultations in Oakleigh, Melbourne
Core Aesthetics is a cosmetic clinic in Oakleigh, Melbourne. Book a consultation with Corey Anderson RN if you are unsure where to start or have several concerns to discuss. The appointment covers assessment, suitable options, risks and costs before you decide. Allow around 30 minutes; the initial consultation is at no charge.
A general appointment when you are unsure
You can book a general aesthetics consultation for one concern, several questions or a change you find difficult to describe. You do not need to choose a treatment first, and you can attend for information only.
If you are asking about previous cosmetic work, mention that when booking and bring any records you have.
Concerns you can bring to the appointment
The consultation can cover facial lines, lip shape, changes around your chin or jaw, skin concerns, excessive sweating or questions about previous cosmetic care. Describe what you notice and what you would like to understand, rather than trying to name a procedure.
You do not need to know the cause before booking. Pain, a sudden change or another health symptom may need a GP or dentist rather than cosmetic care.
Browse cosmetic nurse consultations by concern if you want area-specific appointment information. If you are unsure which to choose, call 0491 706 705.
From your concern to an informed decision
Assessment looks at the particular change you mean. Wanting a clearer lip outline is different from wanting larger lips; a line visible only when you frown is different from one that remains at rest.
1 Discuss and assess
Explain your concerns, health history and previous care. The area is assessed to understand what may be contributing and whether cosmetic care is appropriate to discuss.
2 Understand the options
Discuss what could realistically change, what is likely to remain, and alternatives including skincare, waiting or no treatment. Any proposed procedure needs an explanation of risks, recovery and full costs.
3 Decide on the next step
You can take time to consider the information or decide against treatment. If the cause is unclear or another health professional is needed, the reason should be explained.
Read the first-appointment walkthrough for preparation and what to bring. Check the four safety and consent questions before agreeing to care.
Who you will see
Your consultation is with Corey Anderson, Registered Nurse, Ahpra registration NMW0001047575. Check practitioner registration and clinic details before booking.

If you hope to have treatment at the same visit, mention that when booking so the clinic can check the timing. The clinical requirements below still apply. See payment methods, cancellation terms and cost information.
You can take time or choose no treatment
Absolutely. You can come for information only, take time to think or decide against treatment. There is no obligation to buy anything and no hard sell. Treatment only proceeds if you and Corey agree it is appropriate and you want to go ahead.
Before you book
Can treatment happen at the first appointment?
Yes, sometimes. Corey must first assess you as suitable, explain the risks and alternatives, obtain your informed consent and agree the costs with you. Any required prescribing or other clinical arrangements must also be complete. Treatment is not confirmed when you book.
Can I book if I am nervous about needles?
Yes. An information-only consultation involves no needles or procedure. Tell Corey what worries you so he can explain what a procedure would involve and discuss ways to manage anxiety. You can ask for a break or stop at any time.
