CORE AESTHETICS · OAKLEIGH VIC
Your men’s aesthetics appointment.
Your appointment starts with what you want help with. Corey Anderson RN reviews your health and previous care, examines the relevant area and explains what may help, what may not and the risks and costs. The initial consultation is at no charge and generally takes 30 minutes. You can leave with information only.
No pressure. No obligation to proceed.
QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR MEN’S APPOINTMENT
What should I tell Corey at the start?
Start with what prompted you to book, when you notice it and whether it has changed recently. You do not need a treatment name. If several things matter, name the main one first. If timing matters, say whether you work on site, are in meetings or on camera, wear a helmet or train. Mention pain or other symptoms as well as appearance, because some concerns need another health professional.
What health and treatment details should I bring?
Bring a current medicine and supplement list, allergies, relevant health conditions and any dates or records from previous cosmetic care. Mention recent dental work, skin problems and any recovery that did not go as expected. If you shave or keep a beard, ask whether its length matters for the area being assessed rather than changing your routine beforehand. If needles make you uneasy, say so; you can keep the visit to information and assessment. An older photo can help show a change, but is optional. Do not stop prescribed medicines unless your treating clinician advises it.
YOUR APPOINTMENT
What does the examination involve?
Corey looks at the area you want assessed and checks features that may affect it. For facial lines, that includes looking at rest and during ordinary expression. Facial lines and wrinkles. For a chin or jaw concern, the front and side view may tell different parts of the story. Skin or sweating questions also need their own history and assessment. He explains what he is checking; you can ask questions or ask to pause.
Can I say exactly what I do not want changed?
Yes. Tell Corey if you want to keep your usual expression, lip size, facial shape or another feature. Do not assume that a men’s appointment means aiming for a stronger jaw or a particular masculine look. Your preferences matter, and Corey explains whether an option fits them. Even a small intended change can be noticeable; no plan can promise that other people will not see it.
How are my information and photographs handled?
Notes and clinical photos are used for your assessment, care and records, with access limited by role and need. Information may be shared with your consent, for related care or when required by law or professional obligations. Consent to a clinical photo does not authorise public use; that requires a separate decision. Mention any sensitive contact preferences when booking. Read the privacy policy for the clinic’s information-handling details.
What should Corey explain before I decide?
You should understand the reason for the recommendation and what it would involve. Ask for clear answers about:
- What the option may change, and what it cannot.
- Common and serious risks relevant to you.
- Alternatives, including waiting or no treatment.
- Recovery, aftercare and access to review.
- Itemised costs, what is included and possible further costs.
A recommendation is not an obligation. You can ask more questions or take time to decide.
What happens if I want treatment that day?
Treatment can usually be arranged at the end of your consultation if it is suitable for you. The required clinical arrangements must be complete, risks explained, informed consent given and itemised costs agreed. If treatment needs to happen another day, Corey explains why and what needs to happen next. You do not have to proceed simply because time is available; leaving with information only is always an option.
What should I know before leaving the clinic?
You should know the recommended next step and why. If that is waiting, obtaining old records or seeing another health professional, ask what needs to happen before returning. If treatment takes place, make sure you understand aftercare, expected short-term effects, symptoms needing prompt help, contact details and review timing. A recommendation to return for review does not commit you to buying further treatment.
How should I plan around work, sport or an event?
Tell Corey if you have a physical shift, need to wear a helmet or equipment, are meeting clients, will be on camera, plan to train or have travel or an event coming up. An information-only consultation does not involve procedure recovery. If treatment is being considered, Corey explains the timing and any restrictions relevant to the option discussed before you decide. For an event, book the consultation around 2 to 3 weeks beforehand as a starting point. Some options need longer, and no deadline can promise suitability or a settled result.
