As many people experience firsthand, acne doesn’t just rear its head on our faces, it can also plague our backs, leading to significant discomfort and self-consciousness. If you’re tired of battling stubborn back acne, a back facial with NY Face Place might be your secret weapon. In this article, we’ll explore the procedure our Long Island Medipsa offers and benefits of a back facial in effectively addressing back acne, so you can confidently bare your beautiful, acne-free back.

What Causes Back Acne?

Back acne, often referred to as “backne,” is a common skin condition that can be just as frustrating as facial acne. It typically occurs when a person’s hair follicles become clogged with excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads on the back. Several factors can contribute to the development of back acne, including genetics, hormonal fluctuations, sweat, and friction from tight clothing.

Is a Back Facial Right for You?

While facial skincare routines for most of us are commonplace and well understood, the skin on your back often receives less attention. Our Medispa back facial is a specialized treatment designed to cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize the skin on your back. The results are clearer skin and a more natural healthy back appearance.

Here are some reasons why you may want to consider a back facial for addressing back acne:

  • Targeted Treatment: Back facials are specifically tailored to treat the unique challenges of back acne, including clogged pores, inflammation and scarring.

  • Deep Cleansing: Our treatment can thoroughly cleanse your back, removing impurities, dead skin cells, and excess oil that contribute to breakouts.

  • Exfoliation: Back facials involve exfoliation to help unclog pores, reduce blackheads, and improve skin texture.

  • Extractions: Our skincare experts can perform safe extractions to remove existing pimples and blackheads, preventing them from worsening.

  • Hydration: Our back facials include moisturizing treatments to replenish lost moisture and promote overall skin health.

Understanding the Steps of Our Back Facial Procedure

  1. Consultation: Your back facial begins with a consultation here at NY Face Place, during which you can discuss your skincare concerns and goals with your esthetician.

  2. Cleansing: Our esthetician will cleanse your back with a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and impurities.

  3. Exfoliation: A specialized exfoliating scrub or peel is used to remove dead skin cells, allowing for better penetration of subsequent treatments.

  4. Steam: A warm steam treatment opens the pores and softens the skin, making it easier to extract blackheads and pimples.

  5. Extractions: Our esthetician will carefully extract blackheads and whiteheads, reducing the risk of infection and scarring.

  6. Mask Application: A soothing mask is applied to address specific skin concerns. For back acne, masks containing ingredients like salicylic acid, sulfur, or clay are often used.

  7. Relaxation: While the mask works its magic, you’ll enjoy a few moments of relaxation as you lie comfortably on the treatment table.

  8. Moisturization: To complete the back facial, our esthetician applies a moisturizer tailored to your skin type, leaving your skin feeling soft and hydrated.

After Completing Your Back Facial, Benefits Our Patients Can Anticipate Include:

  • Acne Reduction: By targeting existing acne lesions and preventing new breakouts, back facials can lead to clearer skin.

  • Improved Skin Texture: Exfoliation and moisturization help smoothen and rejuvenate the skin.
