🧴Your visit, step by step · what's included
- 1Consultation and back-skin analysis — we assess your back skin's congestion and sensitivity to tailor this fully hands-on treatment
- 2Manual deep cleanse and warm compress — warm towels soften and open the pores while the back is deep-cleansed entirely by hand — ideal for sensitive skin
- 3Hands-on extractions — congestion and "bacne" are cleared with careful manual technique, no devices, just trained hands
- 4Massage to release tension — a therapeutic back massage melts the tension stored across your shoulders while circulation gets a healthy boost
- 5A purifying mask and hydration — a clarifying mask purifies the skin, followed by hydration that leaves your back smooth and comfortable
✦Benefits to expect
- Clearer, calmer back skin
- Released upper-back tension
- Smoother texture, gently
- A relaxing, device-free option
⏱️Downtime
None to minimal. A little temporary redness may follow extractions.
🔁Time between visits
Every 2–4 weeks over a series, then monthly.
📋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 — Relaxed shoulders and mild pinkness where we worked — both are good signs.
- 2This evening — Clean loose top, fresh sheets, and no heavy workouts tonight.
- 3Tomorrow morning — Gentle shower; the skin should feel calm and noticeably smoother.
🏠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.
