# How a treatment suitability assessment supports safe decisions in Melbourne

An aesthetic consultation about a treatment suitability assessment near Melbourne should begin with your goals, health history and an honest discussion of what may or may not be appropriate. The purpose is to assess suitability, explain options and support an informed decision, not to assume that treatment is required. The outcome may be a treatment plan, another option, referral, review later or no treatment.

What to ask

Ask who will assess you, whether the practitioner is registered with Ahpra, what information they need about medicines, supplements, allergies and previous care, and how your privacy and any clinical images will be managed. You should have time to explain what you want to preserve and what you want to change.

Risks, limits and alternatives

Before deciding, ask what an option is intended to do, what limitations and risks may apply, what aftercare and follow-up could involve, and what alternatives, including no treatment, are available. Referral may be appropriate when a concern sits outside aesthetic scope. Consent should be informed, voluntary and ongoing, and no result is guaranteed.

Core Aesthetics was founded by Corey and is growing as a clinic. Future care may involve a wider team of appropriately qualified practitioners. The focus remains calm communication, careful suitability assessment, clear risks and limits, privacy, and respect for a decision not to proceed.

Booking a consultation

If you are considering a treatment suitability assessment near Melbourne, you can book a consultation to bring your questions and understand your options. Booking does not obligate you to treatment.
