An aesthetic consultation is a one-to-one appointment where Corey Anderson RN listens to what you have noticed, reviews the relevant health and treatment context, and talks through whether treatment, waiting, referral or no treatment is the most appropriate next step. You do not need to know what treatment you want before you come in.
Come with a concern, not a treatment plan
An aesthetic consultation is a one-to-one appointment where Corey Anderson RN listens to what you have noticed, reviews the relevant health and treatment context, and helps you understand what, if anything, would be useful next.
You do not need the right terminology or a treatment in mind. Bring the part that is yours: what bothers you, what has changed, what you hope to understand and any hesitation you want to talk through.
What the conversation gives you
Space to explain the concern
Corey starts with what you notice and why it matters to you, in your own words.
A clearer view of the context
Facial movement, structure, skin, timing and previous care are considered together.
Choices that fit the assessment
You can discuss treatment, a more conservative option, waiting or another pathway.
Time for questions
Relevant risks, limitations, review expectations and costs are explained before you choose.
Your concern in the wider picture
Corey looks beyond a single line, feature or photograph. He considers how your face moves, the surrounding structure and skin, any natural asymmetry, your previous experiences and the result you would still recognise as yourself.
Relevant health history, medicines, allergies and timing are part of the same conversation. This helps separate a cosmetic question from something that should wait or be reviewed through a medical pathway.
If your main question is specifically whether care is appropriate for you now, the treatment suitability assessment page explains those checks in more detail.
What could happen next?
An option is suitable to discuss
Corey explains the proposed approach, alternatives, limits, material risks, aftercare and cost before you decide.
Waiting would make more sense
Timing, health, skin, recent care or uncertainty may make a later conversation more useful.
No treatment or a referral is clearer
A useful consultation can end with reassurance, a medical review or a decision that treatment is not right for you.
A few details can make the visit easier
Bring your current medicines and allergies, relevant health history, and details of previous cosmetic care if you have them. A short note of your questions can help, especially if you feel nervous or tend to forget them in the moment.
Photos or records from care elsewhere can add context, but they do not need to be perfect. If you are unsure what is useful, ask the clinic before your visit.
One practitioner from conversation to review
You meet directly with Corey Anderson RN. He listens to your concern, completes the assessment and, if an option is appropriate, remains your practitioner through planning and follow-up.
That continuity means you do not need to retell the story at each step. It also gives you a clear person to contact if you have a question after the appointment.
You can verify Corey’s Ahpra registration and clinic details before booking.
When a different first step is safer
Contact the clinic before choosing an appointment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have active skin irritation or infection, have recently had surgery or cosmetic care, or have had an important change in medicines or health.
For sudden asymmetry, unexplained swelling, significant pain or another symptom that feels medical rather than cosmetic, seek timely medical advice. An aesthetic consultation is not a substitute for urgent or diagnostic care.
What to expect at your visit
Come to the Oakleigh clinic for a calm, private conversation. There is no need to arrive certain, and booking does not commit you to treatment.
Corey explores your concern, assesses the wider context and explains the available next steps. If an option is suitable, risks and costs are discussed before you decide; same-day care is never assumed.
Come in with questions, leave with clarity
Meet Corey for a thoughtful assessment and a clear explanation of what may suit you now, including the option to wait or do nothing.
Is this for you?
Consider booking a consultation if
- You want an aesthetic consultation before deciding whether treatment is appropriate

- You are pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding and are seeking elective cosmetic treatment without timing discussion
Suitability is confirmed at consultation. This list is general guidance, not a substitute for clinical assessment.
Frequently asked questions
What is an aesthetic consultation?
It is a clinical appointment where Corey Anderson RN reviews your concern, health history, anatomy, expectations, risks and suitability before discussing whether treatment is appropriate.
Do I need to know what treatment I want?
No. You can attend with a concern or question. Corey can explain what may be contributing to it and whether treatment, waiting, referral or no treatment is more appropriate.
Can treatment happen on the day?
Some patients may be suitable for treatment on the day, but only after clinical assessment, informed consent and a decision that proceeding is appropriate. Treatment may also be delayed or declined.
Can Corey recommend no treatment?
Yes. Corey may recommend no treatment if the concern is not suitable, timing is poor, risks outweigh likely benefit, expectations need more discussion or another health pathway should come first.
What should I bring to the consultation?
Bring current medicine details, allergies, relevant medical history, previous cosmetic treatment records and the questions you want answered. Photos or notes about how a concern has changed may also help.
Is an aesthetic consultation the same as a sales appointment?
No. At Core Aesthetics, the consultation is a clinical assessment. It may lead to treatment discussion, but it may also lead to waiting, referral, a simpler plan or no treatment.
Where is Core Aesthetics located?
Core Aesthetics is in Oakleigh, Melbourne. Patients commonly attend from Oakleigh, nearby south east suburbs and broader Melbourne, depending on their preference for Corey Anderson RN and his consultation led approach.
Is this page medical advice?
No. This page is general information for adults considering consultation. Personal advice requires an individual appointment with a qualified practitioner who can assess your health history, anatomy, expectations and suitability.
Am I suitable for this consultation?
The consultation is the place to ask that directly. Corey considers your concern, medical history, anatomy, timing, expectations, clinical considerations, risks and whether treatment, waiting, referral or no treatment is appropriate.
