Breakouts and rough texture don’t stop at the jawline. The back and shoulders have some of the largest oil glands on the body, and in a hot, humid climate they clog easily — the reason “bacne” is so common in Southwest Florida. Our Back Clarifying & Resurfacing Treatment brings the same professional technology we use on the face to an area you can’t easily treat yourself.
What happens during the treatment
- Cleanse & ozone steam — the skin is prepped and softened so congestion releases more easily.
- Microdermabrasion — a diamond-tipped wand resurfaces rough, bumpy texture across the back.
- Ultrasonic peeling — high-frequency vibration sweeps out loosened debris.
- Extractions — clogged pores are cleared with controlled technique.
- Calming mask & finish — the skin is soothed and balanced.
The technology behind a “back facial”
The tools here are the same proven technologies that make our facials work — diamond microdermabrasion, first developed as crystal microdermabrasion in Italy in 1985, resurfaces the rough surface, while an ultrasonic scrubber (built on the same ultrasound science first harnessed for sonar) lifts away what’s been loosened. Extractions and ozone steam do the deep-cleaning. Applied to the back, they clear congestion and smooth texture in a way home scrubs and hard-to-reach cleansers simply can’t. You can see each of these tools on our Treatment Room page.
What you’ll see after your treatment
Skin feels dramatically smoother and looks clearer immediately, with pores decongested and rough bumps softened. As with any deep clearing, mild redness right after is normal and settles quickly. It’s a favorite before pool season, weddings and any backless outfit.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly is a “back facial”?
It’s a professional treatment that brings facial-grade cleansing, exfoliation and extractions to the back and shoulders — an area that’s hard to care for on your own.
Does it help bacne?
Yes — it clears clogged pores and resurfaces rough texture, which are the main drivers of body breakouts. It supports clear skin but is not a medical acne treatment.
Is there downtime?
No real downtime — mild redness for an hour or two after extractions and resurfacing is normal.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Yes; intensity is adjusted to your skin, and we scale back resurfacing if needed.
How often should I come in?
Every 4–6 weeks, especially through the humid season, keeps the back clear.
