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 Clayton
Clayton is genuinely one of Melbourne’s most internationally minded suburbs. Monash University’s Clayton campus has around 37,000 students at any given time, and the Monash Medical Centre is one of Victoria’s busiest hospitals, so the suburb has a permanent population of researchers, medical professionals, international students and academics that gives it a distinctly different energy to the surrounding residential suburbs. Clayton Road has evolved significantly over the past decade into a proper dining and services strip that reflects this diverse population.
For Clayton residents and those working at the university or medical centre, Core Aesthetics is three stops on the Pakenham line from Clayton station, or around nine minutes by car via Clayton Road. The clinic is one of the closer professional cosmetic injectable options to the Monash precinct.

How Dermal Filler Assessment Differs by Treatment Area
Dermal filler is not a single treatment applied uniformly across the face. Different areas require different products, different placement depths, different volumes, and different assessment criteria. A cheek filler assessment focuses on mid face volume distribution and structural support. A jawline assessment focuses on lower face silhouette and mandibular projection. A tear trough assessment is among the most selective assessments in aesthetics, because not every under-eye concern is safely or appropriately addressed with direct filler.
What happens in the appointment
For Clayton clients attending a dermal filler consultation at Core Aesthetics, the assessment is structured around what is actually driving the concern rather than which area was requested. Corey Anderson has seen enough faces to know that what a client describes as a cheek concern is often a mid face structural issue, and what presents as a nasolabial fold concern is often driven by volume sitting higher up. The assessment resolves this before any treatment recommendation is made.
This is why the initial consultation at Core Aesthetics is always a standalone appointment. The time required to do a proper full face filler assessment is not compatible with a brief formality before treatment proceeds. It requires a dedicated clinical appointment with no assumption of what the outcome will be.
