Aesthetic consultations for South East Melbourne

Where is the clinic?

All appointments take place inside BeautyTHEQUE at 12A Atherton Road, Oakleigh VIC 3166. This is our only clinic.

Open the clinic in Google Maps and check directions from your starting address.

The entrance is directly on Atherton Road, with one step into the store. Call before travelling if this may affect your access. Street parking is available out the front and there is a large car park across the road; check signs and availability. See parking and arrival information.

The entrance is not step free. Do not assume a ramp, alternative entrance or lifting assistance is available. Call 0491 706 705 before setting out if the step may affect your access.

Which consultation should you choose?

You can describe a concern in your own words. For example, say whether a line appears with movement or remains at rest, or whether a lip question concerns its outline or a new change. You do not need to name a procedure. A new sore, lump or painful change may need medical assessment first.

The booking page shows the current Focused, Comprehensive and Complex options. Check the selected listing for duration, any fee and availability. These categories reserve discussion time; they do not determine suitability. Call if you are unsure.

Plan from your actual starting point

South East Melbourne includes quite different trips. Enter 12A Atherton Road, Oakleigh VIC 3166 in the Transport Victoria journey planner. Use your actual starting address, appointment date and intended arrival time, not just the suburb name. Check service changes, the final part of the trip and your return.

From Bentleigh

Route 701 runs between Oakleigh and Bentleigh via Mackie Road and Brady Road. Check its current stops and timetable against where you are leaving from. It is an option to investigate, not a promise of a direct or accessible trip from every address. Core Aesthetics is in Oakleigh, not on Centre Road in Bentleigh.

From Clayton or Murrumbeena

Both are on the rail corridor through Oakleigh. Check Clayton Station or Murrumbeena Station, then use the journey planner for the whole trip to the clinic. Station access and service changes should be checked for your travel date.

From elsewhere in the south east

If travelling from the Waverley suburbs, Springvale, Dandenong, Moorabbin or further away, compare routes from your own address. Allow time for parking or connections without relying on a fixed journey time. Call the clinic if you have a firm departure deadline; travel effort does not make treatment appropriate.

What happens before a treatment decision?

Consultations are with Corey Anderson, Registered Nurse, Ahpra NMW0001047575. Bring a medicine and supplement list, allergy details, relevant health history and available records of previous cosmetic care. Do not stop prescribed medicines to prepare without advice from the clinician managing them.

Assessment covers your concern, relevant skin or healing issues and expectations. Ask why an option is being suggested, what benefit is realistic, its risks and limits, recovery, alternatives, costs, aftercare and review. Choosing no treatment or a different health professional may be appropriate.

The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care’s Ask Share Know guide recommends asking about options, benefits and harms, and how likely these are for you. Ask what would happen if you waited. You can attend for information only, take time or seek another opinion.

Consultation comes first. If treatment is suitable and appropriate on the day, it can be discussed after assessment, informed consent and any required clinical arrangements. Booking does not guarantee treatment. Before deciding, understand the plan and costs rather than feeling obliged because you have travelled.

Costs, cancellation and planning a return

One initial general consultation is complimentary per person, with no obligation to proceed. Check the selected appointment listing for its duration and any applicable fee. Treatment is charged separately, with itemised costs explained and agreed before proceeding.

Reviews are offered around two weeks after treatment and are free to attend; extra treatment is charged. Ask about the review appropriate to your care and whether the return trip will work. Do not wait for a planned review if a new problem needs prompt attention. See patient safety and getting help.

Amex, Mastercard, Visa and cash are accepted without a surcharge. No consultation cancellation fee is charged. Please give at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. See the full pricing and payment policy.

When should you seek medical care instead?

For a medical emergency, call triple zero (000) immediately. Sudden facial weakness or sudden loss of vision can be stroke symptoms; do not wait for a cosmetic appointment. Healthdirect explains when to call 000.

Sudden vision change or loss needs immediate medical help. If a doctor or optometrist is not available, go to an emergency department or call 000. For severe breathing difficulty, call 000 for an ambulance.

Severe or increasing pain, sudden swelling, changed skin colour, fever or rapidly worsening illness require prompt medical assessment. If symptoms followed recent care, also contact the practitioner or service responsible; do not delay urgent assessment while waiting for a reply.

A new or changing skin lesion, new lump, possible infection, dental concern or active skin disease may need assessment through a GP, dentist or relevant specialist. Core Aesthetics is not an emergency service. A cosmetic consultation does not replace diagnosis or urgent care.

Corey’s South East Melbourne Travel And Review Notes

Name The Actual South East Starting Point

Corey Anderson RN: South East Melbourne isn’t one journey, so I start with the place you’ll actually be leaving from. Clayton and Murrumbeena sit on the rail corridor through Oakleigh. A Moorabbin trip begins from the Frankston corridor and may need a connection. Check the live route for your appointment. I want the plan to reflect current services, any mobility needs and whatever you’ve got on around the visit, without pretending distance says anything at all about suitability.

Plan A Possible Return Before The First Visit

Corey Anderson RN: If you’re travelling to Oakleigh from the south east, I ask whether a later review or follow up journey would also be workable. The first appointment can fit neatly while a return conflicts with work, caring duties or transport. Naming that early lets me discuss timing with the whole pathway in view. It doesn’t predict whether care will proceed. It stops access becoming an unspoken pressure once the clinical decision is already underway.

Travel Effort Does Not Establish Suitability

Corey Anderson RN: Clayton, Murrumbeena, Moorabbin or five minutes down the road, I apply the same assessment questions. Time spent travelling doesn’t resolve missing records, unsettled health circumstances, poor timing or uncertainty about consent. If any of those are present, I may suggest more information, a different date, or another appropriate pathway. The journey matters for practical planning. I don’t treat it as a reason to arrive at a particular clinical answer.
