Back acne treatment in Aveley, South Ockendon

Back acne, often called bacne, is acne on the back and shoulders. The skin there has plenty of oil glands, and sweat, friction from clothing and bags, and hormones can all make breakouts worse.

It's easy to ignore because you can't see it properly, but it can leave marks and rough texture behind. My back treatments deep cleanse, exfoliate and calm the skin, and I'll give you a simple routine to help keep it clearer between appointments.

Who it helps

  • Breakouts and blocked pores across the back and shoulders
  • Rough, bumpy texture
  • Dark marks left after breakouts
  • Anyone wanting clearer skin before a holiday or event, with time for a course

What to expect

  1. Consultation first. We talk about your skin, medication and what you've already tried, so the treatment suits you.
  2. Your treatment. Deep cleansing, exfoliation, extractions where appropriate, then a clarifying mask and LED, or a resurfacing peel, depending on the treatment you book.
  3. Aftercare. After a Back Resurfacing Peel, keep your back dry until the next day. Wear loose, breathable clothing and use SPF on any skin that's exposed to the sun.
  4. Between appointments. Shower soon after exercise, wash gym kit and bedding regularly, and follow the homecare I recommend.

Frequently asked questions

What causes back acne?

The same things that cause acne on the face: excess oil, dead skin blocking pores, bacteria and inflammation. Sweat, tight clothing, rucksack straps and hormones can all make it worse.

How many treatments will I need?

Back skin is thicker and slower to respond than the face, so a course of treatments gives the best results. I'll suggest a plan based on how your skin responds.

Will treatment help the dark marks?

The Back Resurfacing Peel is designed to improve the look of post-breakout marks and rough texture over a course of treatments. Marks fade gradually, and SPF on exposed skin helps stop them darkening.

Should I see my GP?

If your back acne is painful, with deep lumps or cysts, or is leaving scars, please speak to your GP as well, as prescription treatment may be needed. I'm happy to work alongside it.
