About St Kilda

Luna Park has operated on the St Kilda foreshore since 1912, and the face at its entrance is one of Melbourne’s most recognisable images, which says something about how embedded St Kilda’s identity is in the city’s cultural fabric. Fitzroy Street and Acland Street operate as two distinct social environments within the same suburb: Fitzroy Street more transient and atmospheric, Acland Street more neighbourhood oriented and historically famous for its cake shops. The suburb’s beach foreshore hosts some of Melbourne’s best Sunday markets, and the population includes a genuinely wide demographic range, long term residents, new arrivals, creative workers and professionals who value the coastal access and cultural diversity equally.

Dandenong Road east provides a direct arterial connection to Warrigal Road and Oakleigh in around 22 minutes, and tram routes 16, 96 and 3 all serve the suburb.

Luna Park is St Kilda’s most recognisable landmark. Fitzroy Street and Acland Street are the primary social and commercial hubs. St Kilda beach and the foreshore are major drawcards for the whole of Melbourne. This combination of local amenity and easy access to Oakleigh makes attending Core Aesthetics a straightforward part of a regular St Kilda routine.

Getting to Core Aesthetics from Here

From St Kilda Post Office on Fitzroy Street, Core Aesthetics is approximately 22 minutes by car via Dandenong Road east to Warrigal Road south to Atherton Road, around 14.5 kilometres. Multiple tram routes serve St Kilda, and Dandenong Road is one of Melbourne’s most direct arterial routes heading east through to Warrigal Road and Oakleigh. The clinic at 12A Atherton Road is open Tuesday to Saturday by appointment. Street parking is available along Atherton Road and the surrounding streets.

How Lip treatment Works

How the product works

Hyaluronic acid based volume treatment is injected into specific areas of the lip to address the particular concern identified at assessment. Whether the goal is more definition at the lip border, improved symmetry, subtle volume or improved proportion between upper and lower lip, the placement is determined by the individual anatomy.

What to expect after treatment

Understanding this mechanism helps set realistic expectations at consultation. The result is not immediate and builds over days to weeks as the prescription product takes effect. The consultation is the appropriate place to understand exactly what the treatment can and cannot achieve for your specific concern.

The Consultation and Assessment Process

How lip anatomy is assessed

Corey assesses lip anatomy in the context of the full face before making any recommendation. The philtrum, Cupid’s bow, lip border definition, upper to lower lip ratio and the relationship between the lips and surrounding facial structures all inform the treatment plan. Clients from St Kilda exploring preventative treatment often start with this article, read our article on when is the right time to start wrinkle treatment before your first appointment.

What happens at consultation

At Core Aesthetics, the consultation is a clinical appointment with Corey Anderson. He will take a thorough medical history, assess the relevant anatomy directly and discuss your concerns and goals. The recommendation you receive is based entirely on what he finds at assessment, not on a standard protocol applied to everyone. There is no obligation to proceed and treatment is only performed with your fully informed consent.

How Facial volume treatment Is Used as a Structural Tool

Facial volume treatment is often described in terms of volume, adding more to make something look bigger. This framing misrepresents how volume treatment functions in skilled clinical practice. Volume treatment is a structural tool. It can restore lost support in areas where facial volume has diminished with age. It can define a contour that was never clearly pronounced. And in some cases it can shift the proportional relationships between facial regions in a way that changes how the face reads overall.

Volume, in the sense of visible fullness, is sometimes a goal. But the mechanism is anatomical. Volume treatment placed in the right tissue plane, at the right depth, with an understanding of the surrounding anatomy, produces a different result than volume treatment placed superficially to fill a surface irregularity. This is why technique, placement, and clinical knowledge matter far more than product selection.

At Core Aesthetics, treatment decisions are based on a full facial assessment. Corey evaluates the face as a whole before deciding whether volume treatment is appropriate, where it would be most effective, and what volume would be consistent with a proportionate outcome. This assessment may lead to a recommendation not to treat, and that outcome is equally valid.

Understanding Facial Volume Loss and Why It Matters

The face changes with age through a combination of processes: bone resorption, fat pad redistribution, muscle changes, ligament laxity, and skin quality decline. These processes do not happen uniformly or at the same rate in different people. Two people of the same age may present very differently because of genetics, lifestyle, sun exposure, and individual anatomical variation.

Volume loss is one of the most clinically significant contributors to an aged appearance. When the structural support provided by subcutaneous fat and bone diminishes, the overlying skin is no longer held in place by the same framework. Features that once appeared well defined become less distinct. The relationship between facial thirds can shift. Hollowing in specific areas, the cheeks, the temples, the under eye region, creates shadows and contours that are often interpreted as tiredness or loss of vitality.

Understanding the underlying anatomy is essential to treating it appropriately. Volume treatment placed to address a surface concern without accounting for the structural deficit beneath it will produce a less effective and less enduring result. The consultation process at Core Aesthetics focuses on identifying the anatomical contributors to the concerns you have raised, not just addressing the surface appearance.
