Aesthetic consultation for patients from Toorak is available at Core Aesthetics in Oakleigh, where Corey Anderson RN assesses concerns, medical history, suitability, timing and risk before any treatment decision. The consultation may lead to a plan, a delayed plan, a referral, or a recommendation not to proceed.
Toorak is an inner suburb 5 kilometres south east of Melbourne’s central business district, within the City of Stonnington local government area. The suburb is served by Toorak Road, one of Melbourne’s major east west arterials, and is home to Toorak Village, a concentrated strip of boutique retail and dining. Toorak recorded a population of 12,817 at the 2021 census. The suburb includes some of Melbourne’s most extensive residential garden blocks and is bordered by the Yarra River to the north.
Core Aesthetics in Oakleigh is approximately twenty minutes from Toorak by car via Toorak Road or Dandenong Road eastbound, connecting to Warrigal Road southbound to Oakleigh.
The Single Practitioner Difference
Many cosmetic clinics in Melbourne operate a multi practitioner model. Multiple injectors, rotating staff, different practitioners at different appointments. This is operationally efficient but clinically inconsistent.
Core Aesthetics operates differently. Corey Anderson is the sole practitioner. He conducts every initial consultation. He treats every client himself. He reviews every follow up. The relationship between client and practitioner is continuous, not fragmented across a rotation.
For clients from Toorak, who are accustomed to the benefits of consistent, personal professional relationships in other areas of their lives, this model feels natural. And it produces better clinical outcomes because the assessment history is continuous and the treatment approach is consistently calibrated to the individual.
What Toorak Clients Typically Seek
What brings clients in
The aesthetic goals of Toorak clients tend to cluster around a few consistent themes.
What they value most
Natural results
No obviously treated appearance. Friends notice you look well, not different. The face should look like a better version of itself.
Longevity
Investment in a treatment that holds well over time, rather than quick fix approaches that require frequent heavy maintenance.
Discretion
Privacy, a calm appointment environment, and a practitioner who does not push treatments you did not come for.
This aligns directly with the Core Aesthetics approach: conservative treatment planning, whole face assessment, and honest recommendations rather than maximum treatment volumes.
Treatments Available
Core Aesthetics offers the full range of aesthetic treatments for Toorak clients.
Wrinkle treatments address forehead lines, frown lines, crows feet, brow position, jaw muscle slimming, chin dimpling, and hyperhidrosis. Facial volume treatment addresses lip shape and volume, cheek and mid face structure, jawline definition, chin projection, tear trough hollowing, nasolabial folds and temple volume.
All treatments are individually assessed. Every recommendation is specific to the person being assessed. There are no default treatment packages or assumptions about what any client needs.
About the Consultation
Individual assessment
The consultation at Core Aesthetics is thorough and unhurried. Corey Anderson assesses the face as a whole, takes a full medical history, explains what is driving the changes you are seeing, and discusses what treatment can realistically achieve. Realistic expectations are a condition of every treatment he undertakes, because an informed client is the only client who can be genuinely satisfied with a result.
No treatment is performed on the day of the initial consultation. This is a deliberate structural choice that protects the integrity of the decision making process and ensures that treatment, when it proceeds, is based on full information and genuine informed consent.

Building a Long-Term Relationship
Good aesthetic treatment results are not achieved in a single appointment. They are built over time through consistent, conservative treatment, regular assessment, and a practitioner who knows your face well enough to see when changes need to be addressed before they become prominent.
For Toorak clients, who tend to take a long term perspective on their personal presentation, Core Aesthetics offers exactly this kind of relationship. Corey Anderson sees each client across multiple appointments and builds a clinical picture that informs each subsequent session. The result is treatment that is increasingly calibrated to the individual over time, and a face that ages more gracefully than it would have without it.
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
The appointment process
The first appointment at Core Aesthetics is always a consultation. Not a treatment session. Not a booking that assumes treatment will happen on the day. A clinical assessment.
After your first treatment
Corey Anderson spends the first part of the appointment taking your history. He asks about what has prompted you to explore treatment, your medical background including any medications or supplements, any prior cosmetic treatments and where they were performed, and what outcome you are hoping for.
He then assesses the face. He looks at you at rest, asks you to make specific expressions, and looks at how the muscles move and how the skin responds. He notes where lines are dynamic (only visible in motion), where they have become static (visible at rest), and what the relationship is between different areas of the face.
After the assessment, he gives you his findings. He explains what he is seeing and what he thinks is driving it, discusses what treatment can realistically address, and describes what a conservative starting approach would look like. He answers your questions directly.
No treatment is performed on the day of the initial consultation. This is a deliberate structure, not a formality. It ensures the recommendation is based on assessment, not on what the appointment is logistically set up to deliver.

Getting to Core Aesthetics from Toorak
Core Aesthetics is located at 12A Atherton Road, Oakleigh, a practical, accessible location for patients travelling from Toorak 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.

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.

Frequently asked questions
What does Aesthetic Consultation Toorak explain about attending an aesthetic consultation at Core Aesthetics?
An aesthetic consultation at Core Aesthetics is a clinical assessment appointment. It covers the concern, medical history, anatomy, suitability, risk and realistic expectations. The consultation produces a recommendation, which may or may not include treatment. No treatment is performed at the first appointment. Specific considerations for Aesthetic consultation toorak patients are discussed at the individual consultation.
How does Aesthetic Consultation Toorak describe how Corey Anderson RN approaches a first consultation?
Corey Anderson RN assesses each patient from first principles without applying assumptions about what they need. The consultation covers the presenting concern in the context of individual anatomy and medical history. Recommendations are based on what assessment supports, not on presenting a treatment as a standard solution. Specific considerations for Aesthetic consultation toorak patients are discussed at the individual consultation.
What does Aesthetic Consultation Toorak say about the AHPRA 72-hour consultation requirement?
AHPRA guidelines require a minimum of 72 hours between the initial consultation and any non-surgical cosmetic procedure for new patients. This means the consultation and any treatment are separate appointments. Patients cannot receive treatment at the same appointment as their first consultation at Core Aesthetics. Specific considerations for Aesthetic consultation toorak patients are discussed at the individual consultation.
When might the consultation described in Aesthetic Consultation Toorak end without a treatment plan?
The consultation may end with a decision to monitor, a referral, education or a recommendation not to proceed. This is an acceptable and common outcome. Not every concern is appropriate for treatment, and honest assessment is more important than always ending with a plan. Specific considerations for Aesthetic consultation toorak patients are discussed at the individual consultation.
How does Aesthetic Consultation Toorak describe what preparation helps before attending the consultation?
Bringing a list of current medications, prior treatment records and prepared questions helps the consultation be efficient. Notes about how the concern has developed, what has changed and what the patient wants to understand make it easier for Corey Anderson RN to address the specific individual concern. Specific considerations for Aesthetic consultation toorak patients are discussed at the individual consultation.
What does Aesthetic Consultation Toorak explain about realistic expectations for aesthetic treatment?
Realistic expectations are an important part of the consultation at Core Aesthetics. The assessment includes a frank discussion of what an approach can and cannot achieve, what the realistic outcome range is for the individual’s anatomy and what the risk profile involves. This forms the basis for an informed decision. Specific considerations for Aesthetic consultation toorak patients are discussed at the individual consultation.
What does Aesthetic Consultation Toorak cover about how Core Aesthetics handles the consultation-first model?
The consultation-first model at Core Aesthetics means that every patient — including those who have had treatment elsewhere — attends a full individual assessment before any treatment is agreed. The model reflects the principle that what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily appropriate for another with a similar presenting concern. Specific considerations for Aesthetic consultation toorak patients are discussed at the individual consultation.
How does Aesthetic Consultation Toorak explain the two-appointment model for new patients at Core Aesthetics?
New patients at Core Aesthetics attend a consultation as the first appointment. If treatment is recommended and agreed, a second appointment is booked with the required AHPRA 72-hour gap. This two-appointment structure is not a delay — it is a clinical and regulatory requirement that Core Aesthetics follows as standard practice. Specific considerations for Aesthetic consultation toorak patients are discussed at the individual consultation.
