What makes Core Aesthetics different from a beauty clinic or medi-spa?

Core Aesthetics is a nurse-led, prescription-medicine clinic, not a beauty treatment facility. Corey Anderson is an AHPRA registered nurse (NMW0001047575) with continuous registration since January 1996. All cosmetic injectables are prescription medicines that require individual clinical assessment before being administered. There are no packages, promotions or walk-in treatments. (Oakleigh clients often: "Food culture is front and centre.")

Does Core Aesthetics comply with AHPRA and TGA regulations?

Yes. Core Aesthetics operates in full compliance with AHPRA guidelines for registered health practitioners performing cosmetic procedures, and with TGA advertising and prescribing requirements. All treatments involve prescription medicines administered by a registered health practitioner following an individual clinical assessment.

How do I know whether anti wrinkle treatment or dermal filler is more appropriate for my concern?

Anti wrinkle treatment addresses active muscle contraction and the lines it creates. Dermal filler addresses volume loss, structural change and areas where support has reduced. Many clients benefit from both, but the right approach depends on the individual concern and anatomy. This is determined at the consultation assessment, not in advance.

Is there parking available near Core Aesthetics in Oakleigh?

Yes. Street parking is available on Atherton Road and surrounding streets in central Oakleigh. Oakleigh Station is also a short walk from the clinic, making the appointment accessible by train on the Pakenham, Cranbourne or Glen Waverley lines. Specific parking advice is available when you book.

What should I bring to my first appointment at Core Aesthetics?

No special preparation is required. Arriving without makeup makes the assessment easier, though it is not mandatory. If you have had previous cosmetic injectable treatment elsewhere, bringing any information about the product used or amounts placed is helpful. A list of current medications is useful as some affect bruising risk.

What is the cooling off period for cosmetic injectable treatment in Australia?

Under current AHPRA guidelines, practitioners must not administer prescription cosmetic treatments at the same appointment where the treatment was first proposed to an existing client presenting for a new treatment, unless it is clinically reasonable. Core Aesthetics adheres to all current AHPRA guidelines regarding informed consent and timing of treatment.

Can Core Aesthetics treat clients who have had filler placed elsewhere?

Yes. Corey Anderson will assess what is already present, how it has settled, and whether the current presentation is a good basis for additional treatment. In some cases, dissolving existing filler with hyaluronidase before proceeding is the right approach. This is assessed individually.

How do I prepare for a cosmetic injectable appointment?

Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before treatment as it increases bruising risk. Avoid blood-thinning supplements such as fish oil, aspirin or vitamin E for a week where clinically safe to do so. Arrive well hydrated. Specific preparation advice is available at your consultation.

Core Aesthetics in Oakleigh is Melbourne’s south east consultation led cosmetic injectable clinic, located at 12A Atherton Road, Oakleigh VIC 3166. All treatments are individually assessed and delivered by Corey Anderson, AHPRA registered nurse (NMW0001047575, registered since January 1996), drawing clients from across the south eastern and inner south suburbs.

When you search for cosmetic injectables near you in Melbourne’s south east, the most important word in that search is not “near”. It is “quality”.

Proximity matters. Nobody wants to travel forty minutes for a routine appointment. But the most consequential factor in whether your experience of cosmetic injectables is positive is the quality of the assessment behind the treatment, and that is not something you can find on a map.

“Good information changes the quality of the decision.”

Core Aesthetics in Oakleigh is designed to be both. Close enough to be convenient for the whole south east corridor. Good enough to be worth the drive from further afield.

Conveniently Located for Melbourne’s South East

The clinic is at 12A Atherton Road, Oakleigh VIC 3166, in the geographic heart of Melbourne’s south east. Whether you are coming from Carnegie, Chadstone, Murrumbeena, Bentleigh, Clayton, Notting Hill, Moorabbin, Cheltenham, Dingley Village or further out toward Noble Park and Keysborough, Oakleigh is accessible and central.

There is on street parking on Atherton Road and surrounding streets. Oakleigh Station, a short walk from the clinic, sits on both the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines, making the clinic accessible from the city and the outer suburbs alike.

A Consultation Led Clinic, Not a Treatment Focused One

The phrase “consultation led” is used frequently in aesthetics, but what it actually means in practice varies considerably.

At Core Aesthetics, it means this: no treatment is recommended, discussed in detail, or booked without a clinical assessment first. The assessment comes before the conversation about products. Before the pricing discussion. Before any assumption that treatment is the right answer.

Corey Anderson, the sole practitioner at Core Aesthetics, conducts every assessment personally. He reviews the full face, not just the area of concern. He identifies what is actually driving the change you are seeing, which is often not where the concern appears to be. He discusses what injectable treatment can and cannot address for your specific face, and he provides a realistic picture of what results you might expect.

Sometimes people leave the consultation with a treatment plan. Sometimes they leave with a better understanding of their face than they arrived with, and a plan for treatment at a future date. Occasionally the honest answer is that injectables are not the right tool, and that is communicated clearly.

Why Oakleigh Clients Choose Core Aesthetics

Sole practitioner care

Oakleigh has a strong, community minded character. The suburb’s famous dining precinct on Eaton Mall brings people together, and the sense of local connection extends to where people choose for personal care and health services. Core Aesthetics is part of that local fabric.

But the clients who travel from further afield, from Malvern and Brighton and Toorak and Noble Park, come for the same reason as the locals. The standard of assessment, the honesty of the approach, and the consistency of the results.

Registered and compliant

Corey Anderson has been practising as an AHPRA registered nurse since January 1996. Nearly three decades of clinical experience informs every assessment he conducts. That is the kind of depth that does not change when the suburb does.

Suburbs Across Melbourne

Core Aesthetics serves clients from across Melbourne, not only the south east. The following suburbs all have dedicated information pages with travel directions, treatment details and frequently asked questions.

Inner Melbourne and inner east (under 15 minutes)

Mid Melbourne (15 to 25 minutes)

Further afield (25 minutes and over)

Clients from further afield who travel to Core Aesthetics typically do so because the consultation led approach and the sole practitioner model are more important to them than proximity alone.
