If you’re based in Bentleigh, many clients look for practical, natural results.
A cosmetic consultation at Core Aesthetics is an individual clinical appointment with Corey Anderson, AHPRA registered nurse (NMW0001047575, registered since January 1996). For Bentleigh residents, the clinic is 5 minutes west of Bentleigh at 12A Atherton Road, Oakleigh VIC 3166. Every consultation involves a thorough individual assessment before any treatment is recommended, and there is no obligation to proceed at any stage.
What Happens at a Cosmetic Consultation
Your consultation begins with a conversation about your concerns and goals. Corey will ask about your medical history, any medications you are taking, any previous cosmetic treatments and what you are hoping to address. He will then conduct a direct clinical assessment of the relevant anatomy, examining the area of concern in the context of the full face.
“There is no obligation to proceed. The consultation is where the honest conversation happens.”
The recommendation you receive is based entirely on this assessment. Corey will explain clearly what he has observed, what he recommends, why he recommends it and what realistic outcomes look like for your individual anatomy. If treatment is not appropriate for your situation, that is what you will be told directly and honestly.
No Obligation, No Pressure
The consultation at Core Aesthetics is a clinical assessment, not a sales appointment. You are welcome to take time to consider any recommendation before booking treatment. Many clients find value in the consultation itself as a way of understanding their face and their options, even if they decide not to proceed with treatment immediately. There is no fee for returning after time away to think.
About Bentleigh
Centre Road in Bentleigh has that rare quality of a shopping strip that feels genuinely local, independent retailers alongside the necessary chains, good cafes at proper density, and a foot traffic that suggests people actually live nearby rather than driving in from elsewhere. Bentleigh is consistently one of Glen Eira’s most sought after addresses, partly for the Centre Road strip and partly because the Frankston line station makes the CBD straightforward when you need it. Tram route 67 along Centre Road is one of Melbourne’s more pleasant tram routes.

Frequently asked questions
How long does dermal filler last?
Duration varies significantly by area. Lip filler typically lasts six to twelve months. Mid face and structural filler generally lasts twelve to eighteen months or longer.
What does the assessment for dermal filler at Core Aesthetics involve?
Corey Anderson assesses the whole face rather than the individual areas a client mentions. The assessment covers volume distribution, structural proportions, skin quality and how changes in one area affect surrounding structures. Volume reduction in the mid face, for example, affects how the under eye and lower face appear.
Does dermal filler hurt?
Discomfort varies by area. The lips are the most sensitive. Mid face, cheek and structural areas are generally better tolerated.
What is the recovery time after dermal filler?
There is no formal recovery period. Swelling and occasional bruising are the most common post treatment effects, peaking at 24 to 48 hours and typically resolving within a week. The final settled result is visible at approximately two weeks.
What does filler feel like under the skin?
In structural areas, filler may be palpable as a slightly firmer texture beneath the skin, particularly in the first few weeks after treatment. This settles as the product integrates with surrounding tissue. In areas where product is placed superficially, firmness is more noticeable.
Is there a risk of migration with dermal filler?
Migration, meaning product moving from the intended placement to an adjacent area, is more associated with certain superficial treatment areas and can be caused by excessive volume, repeated pressure or incorrect placement. At Core Aesthetics, conservative dosing and anatomically appropriate placement are how migration risk is minimised.
Can dermal filler be combined with anti wrinkle treatment in the same appointment?
Yes, and this combination is appropriate for many clients. The two treatments address different aspects of facial change and can be performed at the same appointment where the assessment supports it. Whether combining them makes sense depends on the areas being treated and is discussed at your individual consultation.
How do I know which areas to treat with dermal filler?
The most reliable approach is a clinical assessment by a qualified practitioner. Many clients arrive knowing a specific area they want addressed, but a thorough assessment often reveals that the concern originates elsewhere. Corey Anderson assesses the whole face and explains his findings before any recommendation is made.
