At an Oakleigh aesthetic consultation, you meet directly with Corey Anderson RN at Core Aesthetics, explain what you have noticed and review the health details that matter to your question. Corey can then explain what he sees, what remains uncertain and which next step is appropriate to discuss. You can use the visit for information and questions only, and you do not need to choose a treatment before you arrive.
A familiar place for an unfamiliar conversation
It is easier to ask a personal question when the setting does not feel unknown. This page shows the real Oakleigh clinic and introduces the practitioner you will speak with, so the practical details are settled before the conversation begins.
You do not need a polished explanation or a treatment name. Bring the change you have noticed, the question you keep returning to and any relevant health or previous-care information. Corey Anderson RN will help put those details into context.

Find the street-facing premises at 12A Atherton Road and arrive with enough time to settle in.
Start in your own words
Tell Corey what you have noticed, why it matters now and what you would like clarified.

Choose your next step
Leave with information, more time, a later discussion, referral or no cosmetic care when that is appropriate.
Arriving at Atherton Road
Core Aesthetics appointments take place at 12A Atherton Road, Oakleigh VIC 3166. Match the address in your booking confirmation and look for the street-facing premises shown here. If anything is unclear before you travel, use the current contact details to check.
If you are coming by train, Metro lists Oakleigh Station at Warrigal Road and Haughton Road in Zones 1 and 2. Check live services and access information on the day rather than relying on a fixed travel time.
Choose an appointment window that leaves breathing room before and after the conversation. Being local should make the visit convenient, not rushed.
The conversation begins with you
Once you are seated, Corey asks what brought you in and listens to the words you naturally use. You might point to a change, describe uncertainty after previous care or simply ask whether leaving things as they are is reasonable.
Relevant medicines, allergies, health changes and previous cosmetic or dental care help Corey understand what can safely be considered. Bring the details you know and say when a record or date is uncertain.
The room photograph is included so the setting feels recognisable. It does not suggest that any device or procedure will form part of your appointment.
What can you leave knowing?
A clearer view of the concern
Hear what may be contributing, what cannot be judged from appearance alone and whether another assessment is needed.
Options with context
If a pathway is suitable to discuss, Corey explains its limits, material risks, current fees and review needs before you decide.
A plan that fits the assessment
The next step may be information, records, more time, referral, a later appointment or no cosmetic care.
There is room to use the visit for questions
You are welcome to leave with information and decide later. Ask what Corey observed, what remains uncertain, what waiting would change and how follow-up would work. The pricing guide can settle practical cost questions, while the main aesthetic consultation page helps when you are still deciding where to start.
When another kind of care should come first
A routine aesthetic consultation is not emergency or diagnostic care. Severe or increasing pain, sudden swelling, changed skin colour, visual symptoms, breathing difficulty, fever or rapidly worsening illness need prompt medical assessment.
A new lump, possible infection, dental concern or active skin disease may also need a general practitioner, dentist or relevant specialist first. Corey will pause cosmetic planning when a concern falls outside the clinic’s scope or when health, timing or expectations need another review. The patient safety guide explains these boundaries in more detail.
Plan your visit with Corey
Come to the Oakleigh clinic for a private conversation with Corey and enough space to explain what brought you in.
Bring your medicine list, allergies, relevant health history, previous-care details and the questions you want answered. Contact the clinic before your visit if you have an access, privacy or support-person question.
Come in with a question and meet the person who will assess it
You do not need to choose a treatment before you arrive. Start with what you have noticed and let the consultation put it into context.

Frequently asked questions
How do I confirm I have found the correct clinic?
Match the business name, formal Atherton Road address and Corey Anderson RN against the current contact and verification pages. Use the Ahpra public register to confirm Corey independently before entering or sharing health information.
Do I need to choose a treatment before the appointment?
No. Begin with what you have noticed, when it changed and what you want to understand. Corey can then assess whether the concern is within scope, what information is missing and whether any cosmetic discussion is appropriate.
What should I bring into the consultation room?
Bring a current medicine list, allergies, relevant diagnoses, recent medical or dental care, previous cosmetic-care dates and useful records. Written questions and a clear finish time can also protect an unhurried discussion.
Can the consultation finish without cosmetic care?
Yes. It may finish with information, records requested, more time to think, referral, a later appointment or no cosmetic care. The appropriate endpoint depends on the assessment, risks, limitations and your decision.
Can care happen on the same day?
Sometimes, after individual assessment and informed consent, care on the day may be appropriate. It is never assumed. Health history, timing, material risks, alternatives, records and consent may all change the direction.
Who conducts the appointment?
Corey Anderson RN conducts consultations and documents the reasoning. You can verify registration independently on the Ahpra public register using NMW0001047575 and compare the clinic identity with the verification page.
What does the consultation room look like?
The page includes genuine photographs of the waiting area and consultation desk. They are orientation images only. They do not depict a patient, a procedure or what will be recommended during your visit.
When should I use another health service first?
Urgent or rapidly worsening symptoms need prompt medical assessment. A lump, possible infection, dental concern or active skin disease may require diagnosis through a general practitioner, dentist or relevant specialist before cosmetic consultation.
What should I check if I am travelling by train?
Metro lists Oakleigh Station at Warrigal Road and Haughton Road in Zones 1 and 2. Check the live station page for services, replacement transport and access information rather than relying on a fixed duration.
