A dermal filler consultation at Core Aesthetics is an individual clinical appointment with Corey Anderson, AHPRA registered nurse (NMW0001047575, registered since January 1996). For Carnegie residents, the clinic is 5 minutes west of Carnegie 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 Dermal Filler 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.
What happens in the appointment
“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 Carnegie
Carnegie is one of those Melbourne suburbs that people who live there will tell you is underrated, and people who visit immediately understand why. Koornang Road is a genuinely excellent strip, better than most inner suburb shopping streets because it has a real mix of Greek, Vietnamese and independent cafes and restaurants that have been here for years rather than arrived last season. Carnegie Market runs monthly and is worth the trip from further afield. The suburb sits in Glen Eira and has that council’s characteristic combination of good school access, reasonable density and a community that is actually present rather than just passing through.
Many clients from Carnegie find that the clinic works well as part of a Tuesday or Wednesday trip that also covers Koornang Road. The North Road connection between Carnegie and Oakleigh is one of the most straightforward routes in the south east.
Getting to Core Aesthetics from Here
From Carnegie Post Office on Koornang Road, Core Aesthetics is approximately 7 minutes by car via North Road east to Atherton Road, around 3.5 kilometres. Bus route 800 runs directly between Carnegie and Oakleigh along North Road, making it one of the most straightforward bus trips in the area. The clinic at 12A Atherton Road is open Tuesday to Saturday by appointment. Street parking is available along Atherton Road and the surrounding streets.

Why Dermal Filler Assessment Requires the Whole Face
One of the most common misconceptions about dermal filler is that the assessment needs to focus only on the area requested. In practice, the most important clinical decisions in filler treatment come from understanding how areas relate to each other, not from looking at any area in isolation.
What happens in the appointment
A client from Carnegie who comes in asking about nasolabial folds may be better served by mid face filler that lifts the tissue above the fold than by treating the fold directly. A client concerned about lip thinness may have an underlying mid face volume change that is driving the lower face appearance. Corey Anderson assesses the full face picture before any single area recommendation is made, because the right starting point for volume restoration is rarely the area that is most visually prominent to the client.
This whole face approach is what distinguishes a genuinely good dermal filler assessment from one that simply processes treatment requests. For Carnegie clients travelling five minutes to Oakleigh, this standard of assessment is what the consultation is designed to deliver.
