At Core Aesthetics, all advertising and content including what is shared on Instagram and what appears on this website is designed to comply with these requirements. This reflects a genuine commitment to ethical advertising rather than a reluctant response to regulatory pressure. You can read more about the current regulatory framework in our article on the new AHPRA cosmetic guidelines.

General Information Only. This page is general in nature and does not replace a consultation with a qualified health practitioner. Treatment outcomes, suitability and risks vary by individual. Any medical or prescription treatment options can only be discussed and provided where clinically appropriate following an individual assessment.
Safety, Suitability and Clinical Assessment
All cosmetic injectable procedures carry risk. The suitability assessment at consultation identifies any contraindications or relative risk factors specific to your circumstances, including medical history, current medications, previous procedures, and anatomical features that may affect the risk profile for a given treatment area. This information is reviewed before any treatment is planned.
For certain conditions and medications, injectable treatments are not appropriate, or require modification of technique or timing. For others, the treating practitioner may recommend that you consult with your primary healthcare provider before proceeding. These are clinical judgements that can only be made with accurate, complete medical history information, which is why the consultation history taking process is thorough.
Complication recognition and initial management are part of the clinical competency required of practitioners performing injectable treatments under AHPRA’s September 2025 guidelines for nonsurgical cosmetic procedures. The practitioner at Core Aesthetics holds current training in this area and maintains the relevant management supplies on site. Understanding that risk exists and is actively managed is more useful than assuming risk does not exist.
Review Appointments and Ongoing Care
A review appointment at four to six weeks is a standard part of every treatment cycle at Core Aesthetics. The review is not contingent on whether you have concerns, it is a clinical standard that applies to every patient. At review, the practitioner assesses the result across all treated areas, compares the outcome to the pretreatment clinical photographs, identifies any asymmetry or variation in response between sides, and determines whether any adjustment is appropriate within the same treatment cycle.
The review is also where longitudinal data about how your specific anatomy responds to treatment is recorded. Over multiple treatment cycles, this accumulated data allows the practitioner to refine the dosing and approach to better match your individual response pattern, which is one of the most significant advantages of maintaining a consistent treating practitioner rather than moving between clinics.
If you have any concerns in the period between your treatment and your review appointment, contact the clinic directly. The practitioner who treated you has the clinical context to respond accurately to any post treatment question, which is preferable to relying on general online information that may not reflect your specific situation.
About This Information
The information on this page is provided for general educational purposes. It is not a substitute for clinical advice and does not constitute a recommendation that you proceed with any particular treatment. Cosmetic injectable treatments are prescription medical procedures. They carry risks that vary between individuals and that must be assessed and discussed in a clinical context before any treatment decision is made.
At Core Aesthetics, Corey Anderson assesses every patient individually. The consultation is the point at which your specific anatomy, medical history, and goals are evaluated together. No treatment is offered at a first appointment, and no treatment is appropriate for everyone. This page is a starting point, a way to understand what is involved before you decide whether a consultation is the right next step for you.
If you have questions about anything on this page or about whether treatment might be appropriate for your situation, you are welcome to call the clinic or book a consultation at no obligation.
This page provides clinical information about Gallery. It is intended for adults aged 18 and over who are considering cosmetic injectable treatment and want to understand the clinical process, suitability factors, and what to expect from a consultation based practice. All treatment decisions at Core Aesthetics follow individual assessment, no treatment is offered at a first appointment without a separate consultation. Results vary between individuals and are reviewed at follow up.
The Role of Anatomical Assessment in Treatment Planning
Effective cosmetic injectable treatment begins with understanding individual facial anatomy. The same concern, loss of cheek volume, for example, may have different underlying structural drivers in different people. In one patient it reflects fat pad atrophy; in another it involves bony remodelling; in a third, skin laxity changes the way existing volume appears. These distinctions affect both whether treatment is appropriate and, if so, how it should be approached.
At Core Aesthetics, the consultation begins with a systematic assessment of facial structure, including symmetry analysis, skin quality assessment, treatment history review, and discussion of the patient’s specific goals. This anatomical baseline informs every treatment decision and helps ensure that proposed treatments address the actual underlying driver of a concern rather than a surface level presentation.
This is one of the reasons Core Aesthetics operates as a one practitioner clinic with a consultation based model. A consistent clinical relationship between patient and practitioner supports the kind of longitudinal assessment that is difficult to achieve in high volume, multi practitioner settings.

Frequently asked questions
Is dermal filler reversible?
Yes. All filler used at Core Aesthetics is hyaluronic acid based and can be dissolved using a dissolving agent. Dissolution is not always immediate and may require more than one treatment, but the option is available.
What is the difference between anti-wrinkle treatment and dermal filler?
Anti-wrinkle treatment uses prescription medicine to reduce muscle activity and soften the expression lines caused by movement. Dermal filler is a different category of prescription product, used to restore volume, structural support and definition. Many clients benefit from both, addressing different aspects of facial change.
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.
