What Happens at a Facial volume treatment Consultation
Your consultation begins with a conversation about your concerns and goals.

He will then conduct a direct clinical assessment of the relevant anatomy, examining the area of concern in the context of the full face.

“There is no obligation to proceed. The consultation is where the honest conversation happens.”
The recommendation you receive is based entirely on this assessment. Corey will explain clearly what he has observed, what he recommends, why he recommends it and what realistic outcomes look like for your individual anatomy. If treatment is not appropriate for your situation, that is what you will be told directly and honestly.

The Conservative Principle in Facial volume treatment
One of the most consistent findings in clinical aesthetics is that the most natural treatment results come from treating less than might seem necessary, reviewing at two weeks, and building from a correct foundation rather than over committing at the first session. This is not cautious conservatism for its own sake. It reflects how hyaluronic acid products behave in tissue: they attract water, settle over two weeks, and their final position and volume differ meaningfully from their immediate post injection appearance.
Why less is the starting point
For Bentleigh clients attending a facial volume treatment consultation at Core Aesthetics, this principle shapes the recommendation directly. The starting volume Corey Anderson recommends is always conservative because the two week review is a genuine part of the treatment process, not an optional add on. At the review, if the result is exactly right, no further treatment is needed. If additional product would improve the outcome, it can be added at that point from a good foundation rather than correcting an overtreated starting point.
This approach is also safer. Over treatment in the first session is the most common cause of volume treatment that needs to be dissolved. Starting conservatively and building carefully is clinically better and produces a more consistently satisfying result.

Frequently asked questions
What does volume treatment feel like under the skin?
In structural areas, volume treatment may be palpable as a slightly firmer texture beneath the skin, particularly in the first few weeks after treatment. This settles as the product integrates with surrounding tissue. In areas where product is placed superficially, firmness is more noticeable.
Is there a risk of migration with facial volume treatment?
Migration, meaning product moving from the intended placement to an adjacent area, is more associated with certain superficial treatment areas and can be caused by excessive volume, repeated pressure or incorrect placement. At Core Aesthetics, conservative dosing and anatomically appropriate placement are how migration risk is minimised.
Can facial volume treatment be combined with wrinkle treatment in the same appointment?
Yes, and this combination is appropriate for many clients. The two treatments address different aspects of facial change and can be performed at the same appointment where the assessment supports it. Whether combining them makes sense depends on the areas being treated and is discussed at your individual consultation.
How do I know which areas to treat with facial volume treatment?
The most reliable approach is a clinical assessment by a qualified practitioner. Many clients arrive knowing a specific area they want addressed, but a thorough assessment often reveals that the concern originates elsewhere. Corey Anderson assesses the whole face and explains his findings before any recommendation is made.
What causes bruising after volume treatment and how long does it last?
Bruising occurs when a small blood vessel is disrupted during injection. It is common in areas with a rich blood supply, particularly the lips and tear trough. Avoiding blood thinning substances beforehand reduces the risk.
Will I look overdone after facial volume treatment?
Not if treatment is conservative and individually assessed. The overdone look is almost always the result of too much product, product in the wrong plane, or treatment without accounting for how the face looks as a whole. At Core Aesthetics, the starting point is always the minimum amount needed to achieve a meaningful improvement.
How is a staged approach to volume treatment different from treating everything at once?
For clients new to facial volume treatment, or those who have not had treatment for several years, a staged approach places conservative amounts across one or two appointments before assessing whether additional treatment is appropriate.
What happens if the treatment result is not what I expected?
This is discussed at the original consultation. If the result is less than expected, a review is possible once the product has fully settled at two weeks. If the result is more than expected or not what was intended, dissolution with a dissolving agent is available.
How is facial volume treatment assessment different from just looking at photos?
Clinical assessment is essential. A photo shows a single moment and angle. In person assessment shows you in three dimensions, in natural lighting, with movement and expression.
Should I get facial volume treatment if I am not certain I need it?
Uncertainty about whether treatment is appropriate is a valid reason to book a consultation rather than treatment. A clinical assessment can clarify whether volume loss, structural descent or skin quality change is the primary driver of what you are noticing, and whether injectable volume treatment is the right approach. Treatment is never assumed at assessment.
