Aesthetic Consultation ST Kilda

St Kilda is a suburb 6 kilometres south east of Melbourne’s central business district, within the City of Port Phillip local government area. The suburb is situated on the eastern shore of Port Phillip Bay, with St Kilda Beach, St Kilda Pier, Luna Park and the Palais Theatre as prominent landmarks along its foreshore. Fitzroy Street and Acland Street form the suburb’s main commercial and hospitality precincts. St Kilda recorded a population of approximately 21,000 at the 2021 census.

Core Aesthetics in Oakleigh is approximately twenty five minutes from St Kilda by car via Dandenong Road eastbound to Warrigal Road southbound, or by tram to the St Kilda Road corridor connecting to the rail network at Flinders Street.

About St Kilda

Luna Park has operated on the St Kilda foreshore since 1912, and the face at its entrance is one of Melbourne’s most recognisable images, which says something about how embedded St Kilda’s identity is in the city’s cultural fabric. Fitzroy Street and Acland Street operate as two distinct social environments within the same suburb: Fitzroy Street more transient and atmospheric, Acland Street more neighbourhood oriented and historically famous for its cake shops. The suburb’s beach foreshore hosts some of Melbourne’s best Sunday markets, and the population includes a genuinely wide demographic range, long term residents, new arrivals, creative workers and professionals who value the coastal access and cultural diversity equally.

Dandenong Road east provides a direct arterial connection to Warrigal Road and Oakleigh in around 22 minutes, and tram routes 16, 96 and 3 all serve the suburb.

Iconic, unpredictable, alive. Beach meets nightlife. Creative and chaotic.

Getting Here from St Kilda

From St Kilda Post Office on Fitzroy Street, Core Aesthetics is approximately 22 minutes by car via Dandenong Road east to Warrigal Road south to Atherton Road, around 14.5 kilometres. Multiple tram routes serve St Kilda, and Dandenong Road is one of Melbourne’s most direct arterial routes heading east through to Warrigal Road and Oakleigh. The clinic at 12A Atherton Road is open Tuesday to Saturday by appointment. Street parking is available along Atherton Road and the surrounding streets.

Why St Kilda Clients Choose Core Aesthetics

Sole practitioner care

Flexible, personalised consultations suit a suburb that embraces individuality and change. Acland Street’s diversity is reflected in the clients, no two presentations the same, and no standard protocol would serve them well.

Corey Anderson, AHPRA registered nurse, is the sole treating practitioner at Core Aesthetics. Every client is seen by Corey personally for every appointment. His registration is publicly verifiable at coreaesthetics.com.au/verify.

Your Consultation

What happens at consultation

Every treatment at Core Aesthetics begins with an individual consultation. Corey takes a thorough medical history, assesses the relevant anatomy directly and discusses your concerns and goals. The recommendation is based entirely on this individual assessment, not on a standard protocol. There is no obligation to proceed and no treatment without your fully informed consent.

Getting to Core Aesthetics from St Kilda

Core Aesthetics is located at 12A Atherton Road, Oakleigh, a practical, accessible location for patients travelling from St Kilda and the surrounding south east Melbourne area. The clinic is within easy reach by car, with parking available on site and in the surrounding streets. Oakleigh is also well served by public transport, with train services on the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines stopping at Oakleigh station, a short walk from the clinic.

Choosing a one practitioner clinic close to home means that consultation, treatment, and review appointments are manageable to attend in sequence, which is how the care model at Core Aesthetics is structured. Each treatment cycle involves at least three appointments: the initial consultation, the treatment session, and the review at four to six weeks. A clinic that is inconvenient to access is one that patients are less likely to return to for review, which disrupts the continuity of care that supports better outcomes over time.

The Consultation Based Approach

The consultation based model at Core Aesthetics is not a procedural formality, it is the structural feature of the practice that makes considered, proportionate outcomes possible. When the consultation is conducted as a separate appointment from the treatment, the practitioner has the opportunity to assess your anatomy thoroughly, develop a treatment plan without time pressure, and ensure that you have the information you need to make an informed decision before committing to anything.

Practitioners who assess and treat in the same appointment, or who offer a brief consultation immediately before the procedure, are making treatment decisions in a time compressed context. That compression affects what gets assessed, what gets discussed, and what questions the patient has the opportunity to ask. The outcomes of that model reflect the constraints of the process.

At Core Aesthetics, the consultation is also where the practitioner may recommend against treatment, or may recommend a different approach to the one you arrived with. That recommendation reflects a clinical assessment of your anatomy and circumstances, not a sales decision. AHPRA-registered practitioners are bound by professional standards that require clinical decisions to be made in the patient’s best interest, and this clinic takes that obligation seriously.

What the Assessment Covers

The assessment at the consultation appointment is a face wide evaluation, not a focused review of only the area you have identified as a concern. This full face approach is deliberate: anatomical features interact with each other, and addressing one area in isolation, without understanding the broader facial context, can produce results that look disproportionate even when the individual area was technically treated well.

The practitioner evaluates facial symmetry, bone structure, soft tissue distribution, skin quality, and the dynamic movement patterns associated with each treatment area. The history taking covers your current medications, any previous injectable or surgical procedures, relevant health conditions, and any prior reactions or complications. From this assessment, the practitioner develops a treatment plan that reflects your specific anatomy and circumstances.

Results vary between individuals. What the assessment finds in one patient may be different from what it finds in another patient with a similar presenting concern, which is why templated treatment protocols are not used here. All treatments at Core Aesthetics are consultation based and individually assessed.

About This Information

The information on this page is provided for general educational purposes. It is not a substitute for clinical advice and does not constitute a recommendation that you proceed with any particular treatment. Aesthetic treatments are prescription medical procedures. They carry risks that vary between individuals and that must be assessed and discussed in a clinical context before any treatment decision is made.

At Core Aesthetics, Corey Anderson assesses every patient individually. The consultation is the point at which your specific anatomy, medical history, and goals are evaluated together. No treatment is offered at a first appointment, and no treatment is appropriate for everyone. This page is a starting point, a way to understand what is involved before you decide whether a consultation is the right next step for you.

If you have questions about anything on this page or about whether treatment might be appropriate for your situation, you are welcome to call the clinic or book a consultation at no obligation.
