My name is Dee Davies. I started the original Clear Skin Clinic 11 years ago. The Clear Skin Clinic is situated in Transvaal Ave Double Bay. I have successfully owned several beauty salons and clinics before settling in Double Bay. The successful reputation of the clinic speaks for itself. We are well known for dealing and treating mild to severe acne.

I originally opened CSC as I was driven to reach a generation of teenagers that have difficulty understanding, coping and clearing acne on all levels. To my surprise, we have attracted all walks of life. Young acne, mature acne and generally all skin conditions. Our success lies with the fact we are extremely passionate about our work, treat every individual case seriously, spending limitless time explaining treatments, going over protocols to follow up with at home and stressing to our clients that nothing is a problem for us. TALK TO US!

For the past 20 years I have made acne my number one treatment at CSC. For all of those years I have looked closely as to what I personally believe exacerbates acne and what treatment regimes work. I am able to pin point certain reasons why acne is growing. Apart from normal teenage acne that can be irritated by make-up, harsh skin care products, hygiene and hormonal issues, I feel the surge in acne is due to the over saturation in our stores of skin care products. I am a great believer in products that have an emollient (water) base. I witness this problem over and over again; water base products verse oil base, such as found in foundations, cleansers, moisturizers, even scrubs should bare responsibility for giving certain people acne. I have proven this point 100's of times over the years. As soon as non-emollient products are removed from the client's skin care diet, as I call it, within a week their skin starts to automatically clear. It is not as easy as just taking away products, but also cleaning out all the blocked pores, applying the correct treatments and following that up with strict care at home and regular steam and squeezes.

Our philsophy at the clinic is to introduce and recommend products that do not contain Mineral oil, Lanolin, SD Alcohol and Formaldehyde. Also contaminated free containers and products that are never tested on animals.

We offer a no-nonsense philosophy that appeals to Men, Women and Teenagers.

 

Thank You very much, can you let me know when the changes are made.

Dee (Clear Skin Clinic)

Being in my later teenage years, I've had difficulty keeping my skin free of build up and visible break outs. The clinic gave me great advice, especially about how despite having a regular and thorough skin cleaning routine, I have not been seeing results or clearer skin due to incorrect product use.

I have had several 'steam and squeeze' treatments and after a few weeks I've noticed just how much clearer my skin looks and more so how the "underlying" problem has been dealt with aka. getting to the build up before it becomes visible at the surface! I'm now able to go less frequently to maintain my skin's health, and I'm very glad I payed the Clear Skin Clinic a visit. The extraction treatments are thorough and most importantly, have worked for me!

Dee is an amazing beauty therapist and offers excellent service, super friendly and always have a giggle with her. Her facials are fantastic and if you're looking for extractions this is def the place to go - not many therapists offer this any more. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience, highly recommend her services

There is nothing typical about the Clear Skin Clinic. It is run completely on being honest and caring and I feel like my RESULTS and I always come first! This place gives you clear skin, it is seriously that simple, anyone who has ever walked through the doors will testify to this. More than that they educate you on how to care for your skin at home with simple products which work. Anyone struggling with the daily emotional battle of acne should definitely come see Dee, I urge you, she will fix your skin. I had gone through my teenage years with clear skin, but once I turned 20 it was like a constant, unpredictable and draining struggle, I had tried so many expensive products and done so much research and nothing was working, on top of this I was loading my skin up with heavy products I didn't need. 4 weeks ago I walked in with the worst acne I have ever experienced, it was definitely mild not severe, but regardless my confidence was shot and today after only 3 cleans with Dee and the simplest skin care regimen I have ever had - I have clear skin. More than the results, education and simple regimen - it really is affordable. If anything I am saving money as I haven't bought a single cosmetic product since I started. I have gone from wearing a full face of makeup every single day to none at all, I would rather people see how truly clear my skin is. I urge anyone looking for a skin care solution to come here!

I had my first case of severe adult acne when I was 21. Over the years I have been able to manage it, but have never had completely clear skin; I would regularly have break outs that would take forever to go away. Last year at the age of 28 I had another severe break out of Adult Acne. This time was much worse, my face was literally being taken over by acne, no amount of make up was able to hide what was forming on my face. It got so bad that I ended up with a staph infection on my chin. I had seen a dermatologist who had one cure for me a 6-8 month treatment of roaccutane. I was not keen on this; I had seen what it had done to people and was not prepared to do that to myself. A friend of mine had told me about The Clear Skin Clinic, at first I was skeptical, as I had been to so many places and been told my skin will be fixed with a $1000 package, I had already spent so much money on laser treatment, light therapy anything that said it cured acne I had tried it. My first appointment with Dee, I took in all my products I was currently using and let me tell you it was not a small bag. Dee spent some time with me explaining what was happening with my skin and what I had been doing to it by using all these products. She explained to me that the treatment she could give me was not going to be easy. I think I cried for the whole hour of my first steam and squeeze. But the results were worth the pain. I committed to Dee’s treatments, having 2 steam and squeeze facials a week and within 5 weeks my skin was flat and smooth again, I still had some scarring so opted to have a Green peel done by Dee. The results after my 5 day peel were amazing, my skin was almost perfect again, I still have a few minor scars, but they are hardly noticeable. I am using all the products recommend to me by Dee. I absolutely love the foundation. My morning make up application has gone from about half an hour to 10 minutes. I highly recommend The Clear Skin Clinic, the girls there are all lovely and I don’t know where I would be right now if I had not come across this place. I will be forever thankful for everything Dee and her girls have done for me.

I am 27 years old and developed acne last year. I went to the Facial Rejuventation Clinic on George Street to treat the problem and spent $600+ on about eight products that I was to use twice daily (a combination of a Cosmedix cleanser, Aspect Dr serums, ASAP moisturiser and Ultraceuticals serum). I was also told to throw out my existing makeup (admittedly cosmetic in nature such as Armani, Bobbi Brown, etc) and invest in a range of Becca products, deemed "mineral". I began undergoing treatments every fortnight that cost $250 for each visit - a RevLite laser treatment, a peel and a session of Omnilux light. In total I must have spent about $3,000 and so NO RESULTS - I had the same pimples on my face for months. My hairdresser recommended that I go next door to the Clear Skin Clinic, where I met Dee and Tina. I was asked to bring a goodie bag of everything that I use on my face, including makeup, to my first session, which was a "steam and squeeze". My first impression was absolute awe of the depth of knowledge that these ladies possess. They went through each product with me and explained the ingredients and how in fact they were useless / causing further irritation / not actually suitable for my skin. I then underwent my treatment with Tina, which was extraction of every bump on my face using a special lance after a cleanse and steaming session. After the extraction she placed a peel on my face for five minutes to kill any bacteria. Of course this was painful but completely bearable. My face was a sight once complete but Tina gave me sample products and wrote down my new - VERY SIMPLE - skincare regimen and sent me on my way. Within three days, the scabs had healed and fallen away and my face was smoother then it had been in years. My friends commented when seeing the difference and I literally told Tina I loved her at my next session. Due to the depth of congestion and poor treatment on my skin, I am having multiple steam and squeeze sessions. I had my second one today, and my face is hardly red or sore this time around. I invested in my recommended products - a simple cleanser (Dermologica Special Cleansing Gel), toner (my "medicine" as Tina puts it - Environ Alpha Tone), and moisturiser (Dr Spiller Collagen Cream); and a scrub to use twice weekly (Dermologica Skin Prep Scrub). I was so happy to have only spent around $300 on products and my treatments and $95 for a steam and squeeze with glycolic peel. These ladies know their stuff and I only wish I had discovered them sooner. I cannot recommend them enough - I was skeptical after my experience with the Facial Rejuvenation Clinic but the results speak for themselves.

I went to the Facial Rejuvenation for a consult and did not like the person, thought it was a load of rubbish and then they kept ringing me and harrassing me to come in. I had to become quite abrupt to get rid of them , really glad now having read your excellent review.

I am a 17 year old female and came to Dee suffering from bad breakouts particularly around my chin area, which Dee told me was caused from blackheads/blocked pores, not acne. I was really anxious and worried about going and thinking they were going to say things to make me feel worse about myself (due to past experiences) well, I was proven wrong. I came in and everyone was so nice and friendly to me. I have been going to Dee for about a year now, and I have noticed a HUGE improvement in my skin. My breakouts are under control and I feel so much more confident. If you are suffering from breakouts or bad skin it is simple GO TO DEE. Don't keep putting it off like me. It is better to take the initiative and act fast. It is well worth your money in the end if you want to see results.

I have been a client of Dee's for many years and I was amazed at the significant improvements to my acne-prone skin after the green peel treatments. As a guy, I was oftern the "token male" during appointments but Dee provided great service and dedication. Dee's product recommendations (especially for a guy) were spot on. Thanks Dee and her team.

I never had spots as a teenager, instead they decided to turn up from my late twenties and got worse until recently. I am 35. My girlfriend recommended me to see Dee and her team well over a year ago. After too long I finally made my appointment. I've just had my second facial (steam & squeeze) and my skin is SO much clearer. Most day spas or skincare places won't squeeze? Something I've never understood. Dee and her fabulous team, on the other hand, continue until they've extracted the 'muck'. They talk you through what they're doing, they make you feel at ease and they're all so lovely it's like hanging out with your friends. My first appointment was with Dee and I took my (ridiculously huge) bag of products in to be examined. Well, I certainly have a lot of products to use on my body now! Now I love the simplicity of using simple products where I can immediately see the benefit. I'm so excited by my skin already and how calm it looks, I can't wait to see it fully flourish in such good hands. Hands down the best place around. Thanks Dee, thanks girls. You've created a haven in Double Bay and your clients adore you :)

They know what they're doing, and they are amazing at it. You just have to trust them and do what they tell you to do. The pain I went through is worth it. My skin is so much clearer and smoother now.
