Back-Clearing Facial care in brief: the 45-minute treatment (from $115) cleanses, resurfaces and extracts across the back and shoulders, then calms bacteria with high-frequency current. Downtime is minimal, with redness at extraction sites settling within hours to a day. Wear a clean, loose top, keep sweat away for a day, and use SPF daily.
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
⏱️Downtime
🔁Time between visits
📋Before your visit
- Arrive with clean skin if you can, and come 5–10 minutes early for your consultation.
- Skip strong exfoliating acids and retinol for 1–2 days beforehand.
- Avoid heavy sun exposure or tanning for 24–48 hours before.
- Tell us about any medications, allergies or skin conditions so we can tailor safely.
- Come hydrated and, ideally, makeup-free.
🧖After your visit
- Wear SPF daily and avoid direct sun — essential in the Florida climate.
- Skip heavy makeup for about 24 hours.
- Avoid heat — sauna, hot yoga, hot showers — for 24–48 hours.
- Hold off on strong actives (retinol, acids) for 1–2 days.
- Keep skin hydrated and be gentle — no picking or aggressive scrubbing.
🕐The first 24 hours — what to expect
- 1Right after — The back may be pink at extraction sites — normal, and you won't see most of it anyway; it settles within hours.
- 2This evening — Wear a clean, loose, breathable top and sleep in fresh sheets tonight.
- 3Tomorrow morning — Shower with a gentle (not exfoliating) wash; skip the gym one more day if you can — sweat is the enemy of fresh extractions.
🏠Caring for your skin between visits
- Cleanse gently morning and night with a barrier-friendly cleanser.
- Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every morning, rain or shine.
- Hydrate with a moisturizer suited to your skin type; add hyaluronic acid if dry.
- Introduce actives slowly and only as your esthetician recommends.
- Drink water, sleep well, and avoid picking at the skin between visits.

Back-Clearing Facial care: frequently asked questions
How long does a Back-Clearing Facial take, and what does it cost?
The Back-Clearing Facial runs 45 minutes and starts at $115. Your esthetician begins with a back-skin analysis, deep-cleanses the back and shoulders, smooths rough texture, extracts clogged pores, applies high-frequency current to calm acne bacteria, and finishes with a purifying mask and hydration.
Is there downtime after a back facial?
Very little. The back can look pink at extraction sites, which is normal and settles within a few hours to a day. That evening, wear a clean, loose, breathable top and sleep on fresh sheets. Skip the gym the next morning if you can, because sweat is hard on freshly extracted skin.
How often should I book Back-Clearing Facials?
Most people book every 2–4 weeks over a series, then move to monthly maintenance. Consistent sessions clear congestion faster than it can rebuild, and old marks fade across the series, so treat it as a series rather than a single visit. A smoother back shows on day one, with fewer active breakouts by week one.
When should I contact the studio after my appointment?
Reach out if extraction sites grow redder or more tender after the first day, or if you have a significant flare between sessions, since we may adjust your interval. You can also ask us for our shortlist of body washes to use between visits. Reply to your confirmation email or message us online.
