The C.O.R.E. Method
A structured clinical approach to every appointment.
Developed by Corey Anderson RN through clinical practice. Four pillars apply the same clinical thinking to every client, regardless of the concern being assessed. It is not a marketing framework; it is how an AHPRA registered nurse structures assessment, suitability and cosmetic treatment planning.
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.

Your Visit
What to expect.
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.
Clinic standards
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.

Planning Your Treatment
Why a consultation led treatment plan matters.

Frequently Asked
Considered answers to common questions.
These homepage answers cover the clinic questions most likely to matter before booking: consultation first, suitability, practitioner identity, location, risk, same day decisions, no treatment and what to do if you are unsure where to begin.
Do I need a consultation before treatment?
Yes. Every treatment at Core Aesthetics begins with a consultation. Corey first reviews your concern, medical history, timing, expectations, risks and whether the concern sits within clinic scope. Consultation may lead to treatment discussion, waiting, referral, more information or no treatment.
How do I know if a treatment is right for me?
You do not need to decide that before booking. Suitability depends on individual assessment, medical history, anatomy, expectations, timing, consent and risk. Corey may recommend a different approach, a slower plan, referral or no treatment if that is safer or more appropriate.
Who will perform my treatment?
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.
Where is the clinic located?
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.
Can treatment happen on the same day?
Sometimes, but it is never assumed. Same day treatment discussion depends on assessment, suitability, informed consent, timing, risk and whether Corey considers proceeding appropriate. If the picture is unclear, waiting or booking another appointment may be the safer advice.
Can Corey recommend no treatment?
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.
What are the risks involved?
Risk varies by person, concern and treatment type. Discussion may include common short term effects, less common risks, aftercare, warning signs and what to do if something feels wrong. Personal risk information is explained during consultation before any treatment decision.
Which page should I use if I am unsure what to book?
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.
