ACNE TREATMENTS
Liz has a special interest in the management of acne and has undergone advanced training with medical practitioners, dermatologists and naturopaths by attending the Acne Management Master Class on the Gold Coast & Skin Disorders and Acne Seminars.
She believes treating acne with scientifically researched skin care products and medically advanced treatments to combat and break the acne cycle as well as a healthy low sugar diet is the answer to helping achieve a clearer complexion.
Our acne program is personalized to treat everything from active acne to acne scars. Our treatments are designed to target the cause of acne by suppressing oil gland activity and by removing excess dead skin cells as this is the combination which causes blackheads, white heads and pimples.
Our medically active skincare products are designed for long-term usage and are not only effective in controlling active acne but ideal for skin rejuvenation to prevent and treat acne. The products are available for both face and body.

ROSACEA TREATMENTS
Do you suffer from unsightly facial vessels, flush uncontrollably when stressed, in a hot room, exercising or when you eat hot foods or drink wine? Help is available!!!!
What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a common, chronic inflammatory disorder, usually affecting the central portion of the face. it is characterised by facial redness, telangectasia ( spider type vessels) and sometimes lesions that look like acne pustules. It is often difficult to diagnose Rosacea because the lesions can so closely resemble acne. These blood vessels are abnormally sensitive to certain triggers (stimuli).
The common triggers are:
Alcohol (wine, spirits, beer)
Sun exposure
Temperature changes (sauna, heaters, air conditioning)
Drinking hot beverages
Spicy food (Chilli, pepper, curry)
Eating certain foods (tomatoes, oranges, mushrooms and shellfish)
Hormonal changes (pregnancy or menopause)
Exercise
Emotional factors (stress, anger, laughing, crying or embarrassment
Some Rosacea sufferers will suffer in silence, not aware that certain products and treatments are available.

ENLARGED PORES
Enlarged pores are a problem for many people. We lose collagen in our skin as we age, making our skin much less elastic. Skin pores may also become larger, which can increase the number of visible facial imperfections such as sagging skin, blackheads, and oil.
What are Pores?
Skin pores are nothing more than the port in the skin from which hair grows and the skin’s natural oil is released onto the skin. Everyone has pores, but not everyone’s are easily visible to the naked eye.
What causes enlarged pores?
Pores appear enlarged for many reasons. Probably the most common is genetics–you are just born with them. Oily skin also causes pores to appear enlarged because the skin tends to become thickened. Hygiene can also cause this. If oils or skin, cells which are usually shed, are allowed to collect around the pores, the pores will have the appearance of being enlarged. Sun damage is also a key factor. Years of sun causes the outer layer of skin to become thickened which leads to this appearance. Also, the loss of collagen, elastin and water in the skin from sun damage causes the tissues beneath the skin to shrink pulling down the edges of the pore. Thus, causing them to appear enlarged.
During your consultation at Cairns Clear Skin we will recommend a treatment plan to address your specific concerns.
