It is how the conversation is run. It means your name and pronouns are used, your goals are taken as you describe them, and the language stays neutral and led by you. Whether you are discussing masculine, feminine, balanced, softer, stronger, more neutral or age related goals, the consultation does not assume what those words should mean for your face. Corey asks, assesses and explains what is within the clinic scope. You do not need to disclose sexuality, gender identity or personal history unless it is relevant to comfort, medical history, privacy, consent or the goal you want assessed. This image is shared for general information only. It does not depict a treatment being performed, compare results, or make any claim about outcomes. ## What Corey assesses - Your goals in your own words, without assuming a gendered direction from presentation, clothing, voice or identity. - Facial structure, movement, skin quality, proportions, previous treatment and what is actually contributing to the concern. - Whether a cosmetic pathway such as wrinkle treatment, volume treatment, lip treatment or broader facial assessment is appropriate to discuss. - Medical history, medicines, allergies, previous treatment, timing, review access and any information that affects risk. - Whether pricing, cost, consent and aftercare can be discussed clearly before any decision is made. ## What next steps can follow the consultation? - A treatment discussion, where assessment supports it and Corey considers it appropriate. - A more focused page or appointment discussion, such as gender affirming facial assessment, trans and gender diverse consultation, non binary or androgynous facial assessment, wrinkle treatment, volume treatment or lip treatment. - Pricing and cost discussion once the relevant pathway and review needs are clearer. - Referral to another appropriate medical pathway where a goal is outside cosmetic consultation scope. - Waiting, gathering more information or reviewing again later. - No treatment, which is an entirely valid consultation outcome. This consultation is cosmetic assessment. It is not a replacement for medical gender affirming care. This image is shared for general information only. It does not depict a treatment being performed, compare results, or make any claim about outcomes. ## How Corey approaches this consultation Corey Anderson is a Registered Nurse with Ahpra registration NMW0001047575. He leads the consultation himself, listens first and keeps the assessment grounded in what you have actually asked to discuss. The same practitioner assesses, plans where appropriate and reviews. If the more responsible advice is to wait, refer, gather more information or do nothing, that will be said directly. ## How are appearance goals kept realistic? The consultation does not use one template for masculine, feminine, androgynous, softer, stronger or balanced goals. It looks at what you describe, what your anatomy supports, what risks matter and what the clinic cannot promise. Corey will explain limits, alternatives, review needs and when a cosmetic pathway is not the right fit. If expectations, timing or pressure are not settled, the responsible recommendation may be to pause. This image is shared for general information only. It does not depict a treatment being performed, compare results, or make any claim about outcomes. ## What an inclusive consultation is not - It is not a commitment to treatment. - It does not confirm that a particular result is possible. - It does not require you to explain your identity to receive respectful care. - It is not a single template approach. - It is not a sales appointment, and you will not be pressured. - It is not a substitute for medical gender affirming care or urgent medical care. ## When might treatment not be appropriate? Treatment may not be appropriate when the concern is outside the clinic scope, medical history raises risk, timing is poor, records are missing, expectations are unclear, consent is not settled or another medical pathway should come first. Identity alone does not make treatment suitable or unsuitable. Suitability depends on individual assessment, risk, consent, timing and whether the likely pathway is proportionate. ## How are consent, risk, pricing and time handled? If treatment discussion forms part of your consultation, Corey will explain relevant risks, limitations, alternatives, pricing, cost, aftercare and review needs before any decision is made. You can ask questions, pause, bring relevant records, use your preferred language and decide not to proceed. Consent should be calm, informed and specific to the pathway being discussed. ## A typical inclusive consultation A person might book because they want a more balanced look and have felt misread in clinics before. Corey would use their requested name and pronouns, ask them to describe their goals in their own words, then assess facial structure, movement, skin quality, previous treatment and risk. He would explain what could and could not be discussed cosmetically, whether pricing and cost are relevant to a suitable pathway, and whether another medical pathway, waiting or no treatment is the better recommendation. No specific result is claimed. ## How should you prepare? - Write down your goals in your own words and any language you want used or avoided. - Bring current medicines, allergies, relevant medical history and previous cosmetic treatment details. - Bring records from earlier treatment if they are available and relevant. - Consider whether a support person would help you remember information or feel comfortable. - Review the [pricing](/pricing/) page if cost is part of your planning. ## Book an inclusive consultation in Oakleigh Core Aesthetics is a [consultation led clinic](/consultation-led-cosmetic-treatment/) at 12A Atherton Road, Oakleigh VIC 3166.

It is a private, respectful assessment where your name, pronouns, privacy, goals and consent are treated seriously. The consultation is open to everyone, with particular care for LGBTQIA+ and gender diverse patients who may have been misread elsewhere. Will my goals be assumed from how I look? No. You define whether you want to discuss masculine, feminine, balanced, softer, stronger, neutral or age related goals. Corey assesses what you describe rather than assuming a goal from identity, clothing, voice or presentation. Do I have to explain my identity? No. You only need to share information that is relevant to comfort, care, medical history, privacy, consent or the goal you want assessed. Respectful language should not depend on personal disclosure. Is this the same as medical gender affirming care? No. This is cosmetic consultation and facial assessment. Medical gender affirming care sits with appropriate medical pathways. Corey may recommend referral or another pathway if the goal sits outside the clinic scope. What treatment categories might be discussed? Depending on the concern, the consultation may discuss whether wrinkle treatment, volume treatment, lip treatment or broader facial assessment is appropriate to consider. Discussion does not mean treatment is suitable or automatic. How are pricing and cost handled? Pricing and cost are discussed after assessment clarifies whether any cosmetic pathway is suitable. This keeps the conversation tied to anatomy, risk, consent, alternatives and review needs rather than choosing a treatment by price. Are there times treatment is not appropriate? Yes. Treatment may not be appropriate when risk is elevated, timing is poor, expectations are unclear, consent is not settled, records are missing, the concern is outside scope or another medical pathway should come first. Is Core Aesthetics LGBTQIA+ friendly? Yes. Core Aesthetics welcomes LGBTQIA+ patients for private, respectful consultation with Corey Anderson RN. The consultation focuses on the person, the concern they describe, comfort with language and whether any cosmetic pathway is appropriate. Can I use my chosen name and pronouns? Yes. You can tell the clinic what name and pronouns you want used. If booking, payment or required record details differ, those practical details should be handled respectfully while the consultation uses the language you have requested. Does being LGBTQIA+ change whether treatment is suitable? Identity alone does not make treatment suitable or unsuitable. Suitability depends on the concern, anatomy, skin condition, movement, medical history, medicines, allergies, expectations, timing, risk tolerance and informed consent. Can treatment happen at the appointment? Treatment at the appointment is not automatic. It depends on assessment, informed consent, patient readiness, timing, available clinical time, risk profile and whether Corey considers proceeding appropriate. What if Corey recommends no treatment? No treatment can be a responsible recommendation. Corey may recommend waiting, review, referral, another pathway or no treatment if assessment suggests proceeding would not be appropriate or would not match the concern. Can I bring a support person? You can ask about bringing a support person if that would help you feel comfortable, remember information or ask questions. The consultation still needs to protect privacy, consent and individual decision making. Can I talk about facial structure without Corey assuming a gendered goal? Yes. You can discuss structure, softness, balance, neutrality, ageing, proportion or visibility in your own words. Corey should not assume a masculine, feminine or androgynous goal from sexuality, gender identity or presentation. ## Continue reading - [Cosmetic Consultation AppointmentsAssessment with Corey Anderson RN before any cosmetic treatment decision.](/consultations/) - [Start With An Aesthetic ConsultationA consultation led appointment for adults who want concerns, suitability, timing, consent and risk assessed before any cosmetic treatment decision.
