Back-Clearing Facial
A true facial for the back — clears 'bacne,' congestion and rough texture.
🧴Your visit, step by step · what's included
- 1Consultation and back-skin analysis — we examine your back and shoulders to identify whether breakouts, congestion or rough texture is the main target
- 2Deep cleanse of the back and shoulders — hard-to-reach areas get the thorough professional cleansing they almost never receive at home
- 3Microdermabrasion and ultrasonic peeling — dual resurfacing smooths rough, bumpy texture and fades the marks old breakouts leave behind
- 4Professional extractions — clogged pores and "bacne" are cleared safely across the back, where you physically can't do this yourself
- 5High-frequency to calm bacteria — germicidal current neutralizes acne bacteria across the treated area, helping keep new breakouts from forming
- 6A purifying mask and hydration — a detoxifying mask draws out impurities, then lightweight hydration leaves the skin balanced, not stripped
✦Benefits to expect
- Clearer back and shoulders
- Reduced congestion and 'bacne'
- Smoother, refined texture
- Confidence in backless styles

Frequently asked questions
Is there any downtime?
Minimal. The treated area may look pink after extractions and settles within a few hours. Wear loose, breathable clothing afterward and skip heavy sweating for 24 hours.
How many sessions will I need?
For persistent back breakouts, a series spaced 2 to 3 weeks apart clears congestion in layers, followed by maintenance. A single session still makes a visible difference before an event.
Who is it best for?
It's ideal for back and shoulder acne, clogged pores, and rough texture. Let us know about any medications, such as prescription acne treatments, or sensitivities so we can adjust.
How is it different from treating it at home?
Home care rarely reaches the back effectively. This treatment brings professional cleansing, exfoliation, and thorough extractions to an area that's very hard to treat yourself.
What should I do afterward?
Keep the area clean, avoid intense sweating and friction for 24 hours, and use a gentle exfoliating body wash between visits. Daily SPF matters for exposed shoulders.
