You do not need to choose a treatment before an aesthetic consultation. Start with what you have noticed, use this page to choose the right information pathway and prepare private notes or questions for a conversation with Corey Anderson RN in Oakleigh.
Begin with a question, not an answer
It is completely reasonable to know what you have noticed without knowing what it is called or whether a cosmetic consultation is relevant. You can begin with a change, a feeling, a photograph or one question you would like answered.
This page helps you choose the most useful information and collect your thoughts before you speak with Corey. A consultation can lead to clearer questions, more time, another kind of care or no cosmetic treatment. You are welcome to leave with information only.
Choose what feels useful today
Pick the sentence that feels closest to where you are now. Each route has a distinct job, so you can move forward without reading the whole website or choosing a procedure first.
I want to collect my thoughts
Build a private, printable note in your own words before you contact the clinic.

I want to know what happens at a consultation
See what to bring, what Corey assesses and what you should leave understanding.
I am researching safety
Review practitioner scope, consent, risks and the questions that support an informed decision.
I am concerned after previous care
Find the next-step guide and when a medical service or the original practitioner should be contacted.
I am ready to choose a consultation
Open the booking page to review current appointment options and availability.
Start with what you notice
You might describe when a change stands out, how long it has been present or what you would prefer to understand. Ordinary words are useful. A mirror, an unfiltered photograph or a short timeline can help if the concern changes from day to day.
Corey can then place that observation in the context of your health, natural movement, previous care and priorities. The consultation guide covers the appointment itself; the private tool below helps you arrive with the details and questions you do not want to forget.
Build your private consultation notes
Bring the details you do not want to forget.
Your answers stay on this page. They are not saved, sent to Core Aesthetics or used to assess suitability. The tool only turns what you type into a printable note.
My consultation notes
This is a record of what you entered, not clinical advice or a suitability result.

Bring what you can verify
You do not need a perfect file. An honest gap is more useful than a guessed product name, dose or date.
| Bring or note | Why it helps | If you do not have it |
|---|---|---|
| Medicines, supplements and allergies | Current health information gives the assessment useful context. | Ask your pharmacist or usual clinician for an up-to-date list. |
| Relevant health history | Recent illness, procedures and ongoing conditions may change the next step. | Write the key points you remember and flag what needs checking. |
| Previous cosmetic care | Dates, records and the treating practitioner can make a review more informed. | Bring photographs or correspondence and clearly mark details you do not know. |
| A changing concern | An unfiltered photograph or simple timeline can show something not visible on the day. | Describe when it appears and what seems to change it. |
| Real-life timing | Travel, events and access to follow-up can affect whether waiting is sensible. | Tell Corey if your dates are uncertain or flexible. |
| Your questions | A short list helps keep the conversation centred on what matters to you. | Use the note builder above or bring a list on your phone. |
One conversation, one accountable practitioner
You meet directly with Corey Anderson RN. He hears what brought you in, reviews the health and previous-care details you share, observes the concern in context and explains what those pieces mean together.
A useful consultation should leave you understanding what was assessed, what remains uncertain and which next steps are reasonable. That may mean more information, waiting, another kind of care, no cosmetic treatment or discussing an option after assessment and consent.
If you feel nervous, want a support person, need more privacy or prefer information explained in a particular way, mention it when you contact the clinic. The support person guide explains how someone can help without taking over your decision.
If you need medical help now
This page and its note builder are not an urgent-care service. If you think you or someone with you is having a medical emergency, call triple zero (000) and ask for an ambulance.
For health advice in Victoria when the situation is not an emergency, NURSE-ON-CALL is available on 1300 60 60 24. If you are concerned after previous cosmetic care, contact the treating practitioner and use the complication next-step guide.
What to expect when you visit
You will meet directly with Corey for a calm, private conversation about what you have noticed and what you would like the appointment to clarify.
Corey listens, assesses the concern in context and explains the reasonable next steps. If an option is suitable to discuss, its material risks, alternatives and current costs are covered before you decide. You can also use the appointment for information only.
Sources and official guidance
Bring your question and leave with a clearer next step

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know which treatment I want before I book?
No. You can begin with what you have noticed, what has changed, what bothers you or what you want to understand. A consultation is the place to explore whether a cosmetic pathway is relevant. You do not need to select a procedure or arrive committed to treatment.
Does the consultation preparation tool tell me what treatment I need?
No. The tool only organises the words you enter into a printable note. It does not diagnose a concern, assess urgency, decide suitability, compare procedures or recommend treatment. Those questions require an individual clinical assessment with an appropriately qualified practitioner.
Are my answers saved or sent to Core Aesthetics?
No. The note builder runs in your browser and does not submit or store your answers. The text remains visible on the current page until you clear the form, refresh the page or close the tab. Avoid entering information you would not want visible on a shared device.
What should I bring to an aesthetic consultation?
Bring an up-to-date medicine and allergy list, relevant health information, dates or records from previous cosmetic treatment if available, and photographs if a concern changes over time. It also helps to note travel, events, recovery constraints and the questions you do not want to forget.
Can I bring a support person or ask for communication support?
You can ask the clinic about bringing a support person, privacy preferences, accessibility needs or communication support before the appointment. Mentioning these needs early gives the clinic an opportunity to explain what can be arranged and how consent and confidentiality will be handled.
Can I use a consultation only to ask questions?
Yes. You are welcome to use the appointment to describe a concern, understand the assessment, discuss risks and alternatives, or decide what information you still need. Booking a consultation does not require you to proceed with treatment on the day or at a later date.
What should I do if I am worried after a previous treatment?
Contact the practitioner or clinic that treated you and explain what has changed and when. If you think the situation is a medical emergency, call triple zero (000). The Core Aesthetics complication guide provides general next-step information but cannot replace urgent medical care or an individual review.
