🧖After your visit

Back-Clearing Manual Facial care: frequently asked questions
How is the Manual Facial different from the Back-Clearing Facial?
The Manual Facial is the hands-on, device-free version. It runs 45 minutes from $85 and relies on warm towels, a manual deep cleanse, hands-on extractions and a therapeutic back massage instead of machines, which suits sensitive skin. The device-based Back-Clearing Facial is also 45 minutes, from $115.
Will I have downtime after a manual back facial?
None to minimal. A little temporary redness after extractions and mild pinkness where we worked are both normal. That evening, wear a clean, loose top, use fresh sheets and skip heavy workouts. The next morning, take a gentle shower; your skin should feel calm and noticeably smoother.
How many manual back facials do I need?
Plan on a session every 2–4 weeks over a series, then monthly. Day one usually brings clearer skin and looser shoulders, since the massage is half the treatment. Within a week congestion stays down and post-extraction spots heal, and steady sessions keep sensitive back skin clear without machines.
When should I contact the studio after treatment?
Get in touch if any spot becomes warm, swollen or painful instead of steadily calmer, if breakouts keep returning in the same place, or if muscle soreness lasts beyond a day. We will look at causes such as detergent, gear and sweat patterns with you. Message us online or reply to your confirmation email.
