Back Acne Treatment Options

Let’s talk back acne…

Located in Edmonton, Alberta, Dérmica offers a couple of back acne treatment options. Back acne, also known as “Bacne”, can be caused by several factors but seems to be more prevalent in physically active people.

Treating Back Acne at HOME

Besides maintaining proper skin care through professional care, there are other factors we recommend:

Stay on top of your diet
Remember that anything ingested by the body has effects on major organs. Your skin is not only the largest organ, it is the most visible of all. Therefore, it is the window into your internal health.

Consistently wash your bed sheets
Especially if you eat in bed, it is important to wash your sheets approximately once a week. In addition, it is not uncommon to sweat during your sleep. Sweat on your sheets may attract bacteria.

Shower after physical activity
When you sweat during a workout, your pores become enlarged thereby opening up to bacteria. Close your pores by taking a quick refreshing shower. Avoid using a mitt or a loofa as this will aggravate acne and continue the scarring process. Opt for a liquid cleanser that contains salicylic acid if they are still breaking out, or glycolic acid if you are strictly in the scarring period.

Professional Back Acne Treatment Options

1. Back Treatment. Ideal for all skin types

Our Back Treatment, also known as a “back facial”, is up to 75-minutes in treatment time. It is our treatment of choice for active acne breakouts.

It begins with a deep pore cleanse followed by exfoliation. The exfoliation process removes build up and dead skin on your back. After that, a relaxing steam session warms and softens the skin in preparation for manual extractions.

A custom mask application delivers nutrients through a relaxing massage on your back. Moisture care is applied. The Back Treatment is meant to maintain skin balance, clear infected blemishes, and of course, to pamper ;)

Consider adding a peel BOOST to your back treatment. Peel boosts are classified as mild versions of the stronger chemical peels. They can be used to pre-treat the skin before transitioning into stronger skin peels. Downtime: 24 – 48 hours.


2. Back Acid Peel. Treatment for back acne scars.

Our BACK ACID PEEL treatment is a Professional AHA/BHA Chemical Peel. This treatment is designed to balance the skin’s pH, lift scarring, and help prevent future breakouts. These treatments are ideal for problematic acne prone skin.

WHAT IS A CHEMICAL PEEL?

A chemical peel is a medical esthetic procedure. It safely removes the outer layers of the skin through the application of organic acids derived from various natural sources. This process brings fresh new cells to the surface of the skin giving it a healthy, smooth and even appearance.
