If you are coming from Prahran for an aesthetic consultation, you do not need to choose a treatment first. Bring what you have noticed, relevant health information and your questions. Corey Anderson RN will assess the concern with you in Oakleigh and explain whether information, more time, another health pathway or a later treatment discussion is the most useful next step.
Start with what you want to understand
You can arrive with a simple observation, such as when a feature catches your attention or what feels different to you. You do not need clinical language or a finished plan.
Corey will listen first, then ask about your health, medicines, previous care, timing and expectations. The appointment is useful even when the next step is information, more time or no cosmetic treatment.
Make room for an unhurried appointment
Choose a comfortable window
Leave space around work, errands or social plans so the consultation does not feel squeezed between commitments.
Check the route on the day
Starting near Prahran Station, Chapel Street or Prahran Square can change the most practical route, so confirm current travel and parking conditions.
Bring your real question
One honest question is enough to begin. Corey can help separate what is known from what needs an in-person assessment.
Plan from your real Prahran starting point
Prahran Station, Chapel Street and Prahran Square are useful anchors, but your actual starting point may be home, work or another appointment. Check the current route that fits your day and allow time to arrive without rushing.
The clinic is at 12A Atherton Road, Oakleigh. It is worth considering the return journey too, because a review may be recommended. Travel convenience supports a calmer visit, while the clinical recommendation still comes from your individual assessment.
Choose the page that matches where your day begins
This page is for a genuine Prahran starting point. If you are beginning closer to South Yarra Station or Toorak Road, use the South Yarra consultation page. If Windsor Station or the Windsor end of Chapel Street is the better anchor, use the Windsor consultation page.
Bring context, not a treatment decision
Bring a current medicine and allergy list, relevant health history, any previous cosmetic care you can accurately recall and the question you most want answered. If a date or detail is uncertain, say so rather than guessing.
Corey will listen to the concern in your own words, assess it in person and talk through suitable options, limitations, costs and alternatives where relevant. You can use the visit for information and questions without agreeing to treatment.
| Bring this | Why it helps | If you are unsure |
|---|---|---|
| Medicines and allergies | Supports an accurate health discussion. | Bring the packet, label or pharmacy list. |
| Previous care details | Provides useful timing and clinical context. | Share what you remember and what remains unclear. |
| Your main question | Keeps the appointment centred on your concern. | Describe when you notice it most. |
When is it better to pause?
Tell Corey about pain, new or changing symptoms, irritated or unhealed skin, recent illness, medicine changes, pregnancy or breastfeeding questions, or previous care details that are unclear. These may mean waiting, obtaining records or seeking medical review before cosmetic planning continues.
You can also pause because you feel uncertain or need more time. A useful consultation leaves room for that decision.

Frequently asked questions
How should Prahran patients use this page?
Use it when Prahran is your real starting point and you are deciding whether an Oakleigh consultation is practical. It helps with Prahran Station, Greville Street, Porter Street, Chapel Street, Prahran Square, Punt Road, parking, timing and review access. It does not decide clinical suitability.
How far is Prahran from Core Aesthetics?
Prahran is about 12 km by road from the Prahran Station, Greville Street and Chapel Street area to Core Aesthetics in Oakleigh. A clear travel plan can help with arrival and review access, but it should not make consent feel rushed.
Does local convenience mean treatment is suitable?
No. Local convenience can make appointment planning easier, but suitability still depends on anatomy, medical history, medicines, allergies, previous cosmetic care, expectations, risk profile and whether informed consent is clear.
Can treatment happen on the same day?
Sometimes a treatment discussion may happen after assessment, but it is never assumed. Corey may advise education, records review, waiting, referral, a later appointment or no cosmetic treatment if that is more appropriate.
What should I bring from Prahran?
Bring current medicines, allergy details, relevant health history, previous cosmetic treatment dates, outside records if useful, transport or parking timing, support needs, review access limits and written questions.
Can photos or reviews tell me what will happen?
No. Reviews and comparison photos can help you understand clinic experience, but they cannot predict your result. Your anatomy, skin, history, priorities and tolerance for risk may be different.
What concerns can be discussed?
General questions may include wrinkle treatment, volume treatment, lip treatment, skin quality, pricing, cost, comfort, review timing and aftercare planning. Personal recommendations are only appropriate after assessment.
When might waiting or referral be more appropriate?
Waiting or referral may be more appropriate when there are new symptoms, active skin changes, medicine changes, pregnancy or breastfeeding questions, unclear previous treatment details, mental health concerns, event pressure or a rushed decision window.
How can Prahran patients verify Corey and the clinic?
Core Aesthetics is at 12A Atherton Road, Oakleigh VIC 3166. Corey Anderson is a Registered Nurse with Ahpra registration NMW0001047575. You can check the verify page, clinic contact details and the Ahpra public register before booking.
Is this Prahran page medical advice?
No. This page gives general preparation information for adults. It is not urgent care, diagnosis, personal medical advice, a treatment recommendation or a sign that treatment is suitable. Individual advice needs clinical assessment.
