LGBTQIA+ inclusive cosmetic consultations in Oakleigh
Core Aesthetics welcomes LGBTQIA+ adults for cosmetic consultations with Corey Anderson RN. Common questions cover facial lines, lip or jaw shape, skin, sweating and previous care. There is no need to choose a treatment before coming in. Your name, pronouns and description of your goals guide the appointment; your identity does not determine what you should want to change.
QUESTIONS ABOUT INCLUSIVE CONSULTATIONS
Is Core Aesthetics LGBTQIA+ friendly?
Yes. Corey uses the name and pronouns you give, listens to the concern you describe and asks what you want to keep as well as what you might want to change. You do not need to justify your goal through your sexuality or gender identity.
Corey explains things in everyday language that is easy to understand. A support person is welcome, and there is no rush to decide. You’ll receive the same respectful care whether you choose treatment or leave with information.
Can I ask for a more masculine, feminine or androgynous look?
Yes. You can use those words, or avoid labels altogether. Explain the particular feature you mean: for example, the outline of your jaw, the shape of your lips or a feature you want left alone. Those details are more useful than assuming everyone means the same thing by masculine or feminine.
Corey assesses what may be possible and explains the limits. Cosmetic care cannot promise how other people will perceive your face or identity. Choosing no change is also a valid decision.
Do I have to explain my identity or personal history?
No. You do not need to give a personal account of your identity to ask about a cosmetic concern. Share the context you want Corey to understand, and say if a subject is difficult to discuss.
Health information can still be necessary for assessment: medicines, allergies, medical conditions and what previous treatment involved and when. You can ask why a detail is needed. If essential information is missing, treatment may need to wait rather than proceed on a guess.
Will you use my chosen name and pronouns?
Yes. Tell Corey the name and pronouns you use; these are the terms used when speaking with you. You can also explain words you prefer for your features or goals.
If a booking name or required record differs from the name you use, contact the clinic before the appointment to clarify how it will be handled.
Can I bring my partner or a friend?
Yes, you can bring a support person. Let the clinic know when booking so the visit can be planned. They can help you remember questions, understand explanations or think through the information afterwards.
Your goals and decision remain yours. If you want to discuss something without them present, tell Corey. A support person does not commit you to a procedure or make the decision for you.
What happens at the appointment?
Allow around 30 minutes with Corey Anderson RN. You describe the concern, what you want to preserve and any questions about previous care. Corey reviews relevant health information and assesses the area with your consent.
For a facial concern, that may mean looking at shape and movement with your face relaxed and during expression. Corey explains what might help, what it cannot change, the risks, recovery and costs. You can ask for an explanation again, pause the assessment or leave with information only.
What if a previous consultation made me uncomfortable?
You can say what you need to be different without retelling the whole experience. For example: use these words for my goals, explain before touching my face, or give me time to answer before moving on.
If previous treatment is relevant, bring any dates or records you have. Corey needs enough clinical information to assess the area, but you do not need to defend a previous decision. You can ask questions or choose not to continue.
Will my information and photographs stay private?
Your personal and health information is handled under the clinic’s privacy policy. If clinical photographs are taken, consent for their use in your clinical record is separate from permission to use them publicly. You do not have to agree to public use to ask about a consultation.
If reminders, contact details or a shared device are a concern, discuss those details with the clinic before booking. Do not assume a booking message will be hidden from someone who can access your device or account. Read the privacy policy.
How much does the consultation cost?
Your initial consultation is provided at no charge, with no obligation to proceed. If treatment is appropriate and you want to consider it, Corey explains an itemised cost before you decide.
Tell Corey your budget and ask what the cost includes, including any review or follow-up arrangements. You can take the information away, decide later or choose no treatment. Booking does not commit you to a purchase.
What happens if I want treatment that day?
In most cases, treatment can be arranged at the end of your consultation, provided it is suitable for you, the required clinical arrangements are in place, you have given informed consent and costs are agreed.
Sometimes treatment needs to be scheduled for another day. If that happens, Corey will explain why and what needs to happen next. There is no pressure to proceed, and you can leave with information only.
