Contact Core Aesthetics

Core Aesthetics is a consultation based cosmetic injectables clinic in Oakleigh, Melbourne, led by AHPRA registered nurse Corey Anderson. Every appointment begins with a clinical conversation, not a commitment, so you understand your options before any treatment is considered.

You can reach the clinic by phone, email, or through the online booking system below. We aim to respond to all enquiries within one business day. If your question concerns a current treatment or a post treatment concern, please call the clinic directly rather than emailing.

What to expect when you contact us

First time enquiries are always followed by a consultation appointment, in person at the Oakleigh clinic. Cosmetic injectables are prescription only treatments in Australia; under AHPRA guidelines, no treatment recommendation can be made without an in person clinical assessment with an AHPRA-registered practitioner. We will never confirm a treatment plan or quote a definitive price over the phone or by email before that consultation.

If you are an existing patient contacting us about a recent treatment, for example, asymmetry, prolonged swelling, tenderness, or a vascular concern, please call the clinic phone number directly rather than emailing. Post treatment concerns are triaged in person or by phone, never by email.

How Core Aesthetics works

Core Aesthetics does not advertise prescription only injectable products by brand name, consistent with the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code. You will not see product brands listed on this website, in social media, or in the clinic. prescription only treatments are discussed by their clinical category (anti-wrinkle injections, dermal filler) and only during a private consultation with the registered nurse.

About This Information

The information on this page is provided for general educational purposes. It is not a substitute for clinical advice and does not constitute a recommendation that you proceed with any particular treatment. Cosmetic injectable treatments are prescription medical procedures. They carry risks that vary between individuals and that must be assessed and discussed in a clinical context before any treatment decision is made.

At Core Aesthetics, Corey Anderson assesses every patient individually. The consultation is the point at which your specific anatomy, medical history, and goals are evaluated together. No treatment is offered at a first appointment, and no treatment is appropriate for everyone. This page is a starting point, a way to understand what is involved before you decide whether a consultation is the right next step for you.

If you have questions about anything on this page or about whether treatment might be appropriate for your situation, you are welcome to call the clinic or book a consultation at no obligation.

This page provides clinical information about Contact Core Aesthetics. It is intended for adults aged 18 and over who are considering cosmetic injectable treatment and want to understand the clinical process, suitability factors, and what to expect from a consultation based practice. All treatment decisions at Core Aesthetics follow individual assessment, no treatment is offered at a first appointment without a separate consultation. Results vary between individuals and are reviewed at follow up.

What to Expect at Your First Contact With Core Aesthetics

Most people who contact Core Aesthetics are considering their options rather than ready to book immediately, and that is entirely appropriate. The consultation process begins with a conversation, either an enquiry through the website or a direct booking for an initial assessment, and there is never any pressure to proceed beyond whatever step you are comfortable with.

The clinic is located at 12A Atherton Road, Oakleigh VIC 3166. It is accessible by car with on street parking available in the surrounding streets, and is within walking distance of Oakleigh train station. If you have specific access requirements, please mention this when booking.

Appointments are available on a schedule that accommodates working hours where possible. All enquiries are handled personally by Corey Anderson, there is no customer service team or automated booking assistant managing the intake process. This means responses may not be instantaneous, but every enquiry receives a considered, personal reply.

Privacy and Information Handling

Information provided through enquiry forms or direct communication with Core Aesthetics is handled in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and Australian Privacy Principles. Patient health information collected during consultations is clinical record data subject to the same protections as any medical record.

Core Aesthetics does not share patient information with third parties for marketing purposes, does not use patient information for case studies without explicit written consent, and does not publish identifiable before and after imagery, a practice that is in any event inconsistent with TGA advertising guidelines for cosmetic injectable treatments.

Enquiries submitted through the website are received directly by Corey Anderson and are not processed through automated response systems. Responses are sent from a secure clinical email address. Response times may vary as the clinic operates as a one practitioner practice, but every enquiry receives a personal, considered reply.

Practical Information for Visiting the Clinic

Core Aesthetics is located at 12A Atherton Road, Oakleigh VIC 3166, in Melbourne’s south east corridor. The clinic sits within Oakleigh’s commercial centre, with parking available nearby on side streets and at the public car parks behind Eaton Mall. Public transport is straightforward: Oakleigh Station is a short walk and is served by the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines, and bus routes through Oakleigh stop within the same walking radius. Patients travelling from Carnegie, Hughesdale, Murrumbeena, Bentleigh, Clayton, Chadstone, Glen Waverley, and the surrounding south east suburbs typically arrive within fifteen to twenty five minutes by car.

Bookings for both consultations and treatments are made through the online booking system. The system holds appointment availability in real time and is the most accurate reflection of what is open. Same day booking is rarely possible because the practice operates on a planned assessment model rather than a walk in model, and new patients are often offered appointments three to six weeks ahead. Existing patients with established treatment plans typically have shorter intervals.

For non urgent enquiries about an existing booking, eligibility for treatment, or general information not addressed by the website, contact is via support@coreaesthetics.com.au. Emails are typically answered within one to two business days. Phone enquiries reach 0491 706 705. Telephone reception is sometimes routed to message during clinical hours, and a call back is offered.

The practitioner of record for clinical care is Corey Anderson, Registered Nurse, AHPRA NMW0001047575. Clinical questions that arise after a treatment, including unexpected symptoms or concerns about the response to a treatment, should be directed to the clinic during business hours via the contact channels above. For genuinely urgent symptoms after hours, patients are advised to attend their nearest emergency department or contact 000.

What To Bring And What To Expect On Your First Visit

The first visit to the clinic is a consultation rather than a treatment, so practical preparation is light. Patients are encouraged to arrive with a clear face if they are coming to discuss treatment in a particular area, simply so the practitioner can examine the skin and underlying anatomy without makeup obscuring small but clinically relevant findings. Patients who have come straight from work and have not had the opportunity to remove makeup are not turned away; the assessment proceeds with what is reasonably possible at the time, and any specific concern that requires examination of clean skin is addressed at a follow up.

Documentation that helps the consultation includes a list of current medications and supplements, a record of any prior cosmetic treatment with dates and (where known) the practitioner and product, and any photographs from earlier life stages where the change the patient wants to address is visible by comparison. None of this is required. The consultation can proceed without it. But it sharpens the conversation when it is available and reduces the time spent reconstructing information from memory.

The appointment itself runs approximately forty five minutes for new patients and approximately twenty to thirty minutes for follow up consultations with established patients. The pace is deliberate. Rushed consultations are structurally a poor fit with the clinic’s treatment philosophy, and the appointment length protects against that. Patients are encouraged to come with questions and to take notes during the conversation if that is helpful for them; the practitioner expects this and treats it as a sign of an engaged patient rather than as friction.

The clinic operates from 12A Atherton Road, Oakleigh VIC 3166. Parking is available on side streets and at the public car parks behind Eaton Mall. Oakleigh Station is a short walk and is served by the Pakenham and Cranbourne train lines. For patients arriving from further afield, the suburbs within the clinic’s typical south east Melbourne catchment include Carnegie, Hughesdale, Murrumbeena, Bentleigh, Clayton, Chadstone, Glen Waverley, Mount Waverley, and the surrounding bayside corridor. Travel time from these areas is typically fifteen to twenty five minutes by car, longer in peak.

Bookings are made through the online booking system at coreaesthetics.com.au, which holds appointment availability in real time. Email contact is via support@coreaesthetics.com.au. Phone enquiries reach 0491 706 705. The practitioner of record for clinical care is Corey Anderson, Registered Nurse, AHPRA NMW0001047575.

Cancellation, Rebooking, And Late Arrival

Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with at least forty eight hours notice incur no fee. Cancellations or rescheduling within forty eight hours of the appointment may incur a fee that contributes to the practitioner time held for the booking. The fee schedule is set out at the time of booking and any patient who is uncertain about their availability is encouraged to delay confirming the appointment until they are sure. Genuine medical emergencies and acute illness on the day of the appointment are accommodated without fee. Patients who arrive more than fifteen minutes late for a scheduled appointment may be asked to reschedule, particularly for the longer initial consultation; the practitioner cannot consistently shorten the assessment without compromising the structural integrity of the consultation, and the late arrival reschedule is the practical consequence of that principle.

Privacy, Records, And Photography

Clinical records, including standardised treatment area photography taken under consistent lighting, are held securely in compliance with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles. Records form part of the patient’s clinical file and are used to inform subsequent treatment decisions, support continuity of care across cycles, and meet professional record keeping obligations under AHPRA registration. Records are not used for marketing, social media, or any external communication without specific written consent. Patients can request access to their clinical records at any time. Patients can also withdraw consent for clinical photography during their treatment relationship; this does not affect the records already taken with consent at earlier appointments, but it constrains future documentation.

After-Hours And Urgent Concerns

Genuinely urgent symptoms after a treatment (sudden vision change, severe disproportionate pain, signs of vascular compromise such as skin blanching with mottled discolouration, signs of progressive infection, or any concern that feels structurally wrong) should be escalated immediately. Within business hours, the clinic phone and email reach the practice. Outside business hours, the clinic’s response time may be longer than the urgency of the symptom warrants, and the appropriate first action is to attend the nearest emergency department or to phone 000 if the symptom warrants emergency care. The clinic does not operate a twenty four hour clinical line, and patients are asked to use emergency services for genuinely urgent symptoms rather than wait for clinic hours response. Non urgent post treatment questions (mild bruising, expected swelling, routine aftercare clarification) can wait for the next business hours response.

Verifying The Practitioner Before Booking

Patients are encouraged to verify the practitioner’s registration on the public AHPRA register at ahpra.gov.au before the first appointment. Searching by full name (Corey Anderson) or by registration number (NMW0001047575) returns the current registration status, qualifications, and any conditions on practice. The verification takes under a minute and is the appropriate baseline check for any cosmetic injectable practitioner. The same advice applies to verifying any practitioner the patient is considering at any clinic; it is one of the simplest things a patient can do to look after themselves in this category of healthcare and is also one of the most easily overlooked.

Accessibility And Practical Notes

The clinic is located on the ground floor at 12A Atherton Road, Oakleigh, with step free access from the street and from the rear facing parking. Patients with mobility considerations are welcome to phone ahead so the clinic can arrange the most accessible parking and entry route. Hearing impaired patients are accommodated; the practitioner is comfortable working with written communication where preferred and can use written aftercare instructions in addition to verbal explanation. Patients who would like a support person, family member, or interpreter present at the consultation are welcome to bring one; the practitioner directs questions and decisions to the patient throughout the appointment regardless of who else is present.

The clinic is single storey, single treatment room, and quiet. Treatment appointments are not run in parallel; only one patient is in clinical care at any time. The waiting area is small. Patients arriving early are welcome to wait but the appointment will start at the booked time rather than earlier, because the practitioner is typically completing documentation from the prior appointment until the scheduled start. Children accompanying parents to consultations are accommodated where feasible; the practitioner asks at booking if a child will attend so that the appointment can be timed and structured accordingly.

A Brief Note On Communication Style And Expectations

The clinic communicates with patients in plain language. Clinical concepts are explained without unnecessary jargon, and where a technical term is required for accuracy it is defined the first time it appears in conversation. Patients who prefer more detail are welcome to ask, and the practitioner will go deeper as the conversation supports it. Patients who prefer a shorter explanation are equally accommodated. The structure of the consultation does not reward either pattern; it adapts to the patient.

Decisions about treatment are presented as decisions, not as foregone conclusions. The practitioner’s recommendation is communicated, the rationale is set out, and the patient is invited to take time to consider. Patients who decide not to proceed are not pressured to reconsider, and the relationship is not framed around closing a sale. This is a structural feature of the one practitioner model rather than an aspirational position; the operational conditions that would create commercial pressure on the recommendation are not present here, and the conversation reflects that.
