Booking a consultation does not commit you to treatment.

View areaDeveloped by Corey Anderson RN through clinical practice, these four pillars apply uniform clinical thinking to every client, regardless of the concern being assessed. This is not a marketing framework; it is how an AHPRA-registered nurse structures assessment, suitability and cosmetic treatment planning.


Consult
A structured clinical assessment of anatomy, facial proportions, skin condition, medical history, and realistic goals, before any decision is made.


Organise
A documented plan that considers anatomy, sequence, timing, risk, and whether the safer answer is to stage, wait, refer, or do nothing.


Refine
Conservative planning with continuous assessment during the appointment. Not a fixed protocol applied uniformly to every face.


Evaluate
Review that checks comfort, settling, questions and whether the documented plan still fits. Review does not automatically mean more treatment.


Corey founded Core Aesthetics on a simple principle: non-surgical cosmetic care should serve the patient, not the industry. His clinical nursing background shapes an objective assessment style grounded in medical rigour and a careful understanding of facial anatomy over time.
His approach is unhurried, transparent, and focused entirely on client suitability. If a clinical procedure is not right for you, he will always tell you.
A Core Aesthetics visit starts with practical booking support and moves into individual clinical assessment with Corey Anderson RN. The process separates enquiry, consultation, informed decision making, treatment only if suitable, and review. It is designed to keep pressure out of the appointment.
Enquiry and Booking
Reach out through our booking system or by phone. We'll find a time that suits and share what to expect beforehand.
In Clinic Consultation
A thorough facial assessment, a discussion of goals, and an honest conversation about what is and isn't appropriate for you.
Informed Decision
If treatment discussion is suitable, Corey will explain the options, risks, limits and alternatives. If it isn't appropriate, he will say so. No pressure either way.
Treatment If Suitable, Then Review
If treatment proceeds, it is carried out by Corey in a quiet, considered setting. Review checks comfort, settling, questions and whether the documented plan still fits.
A cosmetic appointment should feel like a medical appointment. Unhurried consultation before any decision, a clear reason for every recommendation, and a written record you can take away. If a treatment is not right for you, or not right for you yet, the only responsible answer is to say so.

Why a consultation led treatment plan matters.
The most important appointment is the one before any treatment. Here is how an individually assessed treatment plan differs from a menu driven approach, and why it protects both your result and your safety.

Read articleThese homepage answers cover the fundamental clinical questions most likely to matter before booking your appointment: our consultation-first model, patient suitability, practitioner identity, location, and clinical risks. We also openly discuss same-day decision-making boundaries, the choice of opting for no treatment, and the exact steps to take if you are unsure where to begin your aesthetic journey.
Yes. Every clinical pathway at Core Aesthetics begins with a mandatory consultation. Corey Anderson RN first reviews your primary clinical presentation, medical history, timing, expectations, risks, and whether your goals fall within the clinic scope of practice. This assessment may lead to a treatment discussion, a staged waiting period, referral for medical review, a request for more medical information, or a recommendation for no treatment at all.
You do not need to decide that before booking. Clinical suitability can only be determined through an individual clinical assessment of your anatomy, medical history, expectations, and risk profile. Corey may recommend an alternative approach, a more conservative timeline, referral for medical review, or no treatment if that is the safest clinical pathway for your wellbeing.
All consultations and any treatment that proceeds are performed by Corey Anderson, Registered Nurse (AHPRA NMW0001047575). Patients can verify his current registration on the AHPRA public register before booking.
Core Aesthetics is in Oakleigh, Victoria, with the full address listed in the official clinic details and booking pathway. The clinic supports adults from Melbourne's south east and nearby areas. Location can make consultation practical, but it does not change the need for assessment, risk discussion and consent.
Occasionally, but it is never automatic or assumed. Proceeding on the same day depends entirely on your clinical assessment, suitability, comprehensive informed consent, and whether Corey considers it clinically appropriate to proceed. If your medical picture is complex, or if more time is needed to consider the risks, waiting or scheduling a follow up appointment is the preferred clinical advice.
Yes. No treatment may be the responsible recommendation if the concern is outside scope, expectations are not realistic, timing is poor, risk is not justified or medical review is needed first. A useful consultation should make that option clear, not hide it.
Risks vary by individual, anatomy, and the specific clinical modality. Your tailored risk discussion will cover common short term side effects, rare but serious complications, strict aftercare instructions, warning signs, and emergency contact protocols. Comprehensive, personalised risk information is always delivered during your consultation before any clinical decision or treatment agreement is made.
Start with the consultation page or contact the clinic. You can describe the concern you want assessed without choosing a treatment category first. The booking pathway creates time for Corey to decide whether a specific treatment discussion, waiting, referral or no treatment is appropriate.
To support a thorough clinical evaluation, please bring a complete list of your current medications, supplements, and any relevant medical history or past cosmetic treatment timelines. We recommend arriving with clean skin, free of heavy makeup, so Corey can perform an accurate structural and anatomical facial assessment.
Use these details as the official starting point before booking, checking a listing or confirming you have the right clinic. Core Aesthetics is located at 12A Atherton Road, Oakleigh, and consultation creates time for assessment, suitability, risk discussion and consent before any treatment decision.
