What does Core Aesthetics assess in consultation?

Bring the concern you want understood, not a predetermined treatment. Corey asks what you notice and what matters to you, alongside your health, medicines, allergies and earlier cosmetic care. Assessment considers the area and its surrounding features, your expectations and whether the proposed care fits his training, competence and professional role.

If an option is appropriate, the discussion should cover its benefits, risks, limitations, alternatives, costs, aftercare and review before you decide and give informed consent. You can use the visit for information only. The consultation directory helps you describe the area or question you want assessed.

Core Aesthetics does not provide emergency care, general medical diagnosis, skin cancer checks, surgery, dental care or mental health crisis care. Weight loss prescribing, peptide or online product supply, and management of unrelated medical conditions are also outside the clinic’s scope.

For a non-urgent concern that needs another service, ask which professional to approach, why and what information to take. A GP, dentist or relevant specialist may be the appropriate starting point. If previous care matters, request the relevant records rather than guessing what was done.

Urgent symptoms need urgent care, not a routine cosmetic appointment. Do not wait for Corey to arrange a referral if medical attention is needed now. For a life-threatening emergency call 000. Healthdirect explains when an emergency department is appropriate. The clinic’s phone and email are not emergency services.

A clinic’s focus describes the work it offers, not an extra qualification or a promise that treatment is right for you. Ask what the practitioner can assess, what they would refer elsewhere and which parts of a proposed plan involve another professional.

Corey Anderson RN leads consultations at Core Aesthetics. Knowing who assessed you can help when a later question relates to the same records or decision. It does not remove the need to understand the care arrangements. Before agreeing, ask:

• Who is responsible for each assessment or decision, including any separate professional role?
• What written aftercare and review arrangements will I receive?
• Who should I contact if Corey is unavailable, and which concerns need urgent medical help instead?

Use the consultation responsibility record to keep the names, roles and answers together. Do not assume a single-practitioner clinic offers an after-hours service.

Core Aesthetics identifies Corey Anderson as a Registered Nurse, with clinic-stated Ahpra number NMW0001047575. The clinic does not describe him as a doctor, surgeon or nurse practitioner, and does not claim specialist registration. A cosmetic focus is not specialist registration.

Open the live Ahpra public register and compare the full name, profession, current registration and any published conditions. The clinic verification page gives the identifying details to compare. A number on this page is not a current register check and does not establish suitability for a procedure.

Ahpra’s guidance on titles in health advertising explains that descriptive terms must not imply specialist registration or qualifications a practitioner does not hold. Ask about relevant training and experience as well as registration; a clinic name or area of focus cannot answer those questions.

Core Aesthetics is at 12A Atherton Road, Oakleigh VIC 3166, inside BeautyTHEQUE. The entrance is directly on Atherton Road and has one step. Call before travelling if this may affect access; the arrival guide has the map and parking details.

One initial general consultation per person is complimentary, with no obligation to proceed. Check the fee and duration of the appointment you select; later appointments and any treatment may have separate costs. Read the consultation, payment and cancellation information and ask for proposed total and possible later costs before agreeing.

Consultation comes first. Treatment on the same day may be considered only when suitable and appropriate, after assessment and discussion, with informed consent and any required clinical arrangements in place. Booking does not guarantee treatment. Waiting or declining remains an option.

If your question fits the clinic’s scope, use the consultation booking page. If you are unsure which appointment fits, contact the clinic or call 0491 706 705 for a non-urgent enquiry. You do not need to book a cosmetic consultation just to be told to seek urgent care.

• Choose a consultation by concern if you have a stable appearance question.
• Use the patient safety questions before agreeing to a recommendation.
• Understand what registration does and does not tell you when checking a practitioner.
