Get rid of pimples on your back with a back treatment for acne. Located in Edmonton, Alberta, Dérmica offers back treatment and back peel options to address skin concerns on your back.
What causes pimples on the back?
Pimples on the back can be caused by a number of things. Like the face, acne can affect the back as well. But what causes it? Some professionals will say hormones, diet, medication, and environmental factors play a contributing factor. In addition, improper use of products and ph imbalances on the skin can lead to acne.
Does back acne go away with age?
Back acne will go away with age if the contributing factor is an excess of oil production. This is due to a natural decrease in oil production as we age.
What soap/body wash gets rid of body acne?
Acne is best treated with BHA products. The main one being salicylic acid. Salicylic acid helps to decongest the skin’s surface and pores. It also has anti-inflammtory properties which help reduce the size of postules. In addition, it has the proper ph to balance oily and acne prone skin.
How often should I get a back treatment?
The frequecy of treatments depends on the phase the skin is in. if you are actively treating the condition, then book a treatment every 6-8 weeks. Otherwise, maintenance can be done seasonally.
What to expect after a back treatment?
You can expect minor skin sensitivity after a back treatment if there have been a lot of extractions. Depending on the products used and whether a “acid boost” was included to enhance the results, there may be some dryness, tightness to the skin, and possible flaking.
If you’re looking for a result driven skincare service to treat coarse, hyperpigmented, or acne prone skin, Back Peels may be the ideal treatment selection for your skin care goals. While facial peels are quite popular, their benefits extend beyond just the face. Back Peels are an effective solution to address various skin concerns on the often-neglected back area.
So, what are the benefits of Back Peels and why they are they so effective?
1 | Provide Deep Exfoliation
Back Peel treatments involve the professional application of specially formulated solutions containing high concentrations of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs). These potent acids work by gently lifting the top layer of dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and promoting a rejuvenated complexion. Back Peels provide significant improvement in skin texture, reducing the appearance of roughness, clogged pores, blackheads, scarring, and hyperpigmentation.
2 | Control & Treat Acne
Back acne can be frustrating and difficult to treat. Back Peels have proven to be a valuable tool in combating acne and blemishes in this hard-to-reach area. The peels work by clearing and controlling excess oil production, reducing inflammation in acne blemishes, and eliminating acne causing bacteria. This combination not only clears current breakouts but helps reduce future flareups.
3 | Lighten Hyperpigmentation
If you have dark spots, sunspots, or hyperpigmentation on your back, Back Peels can be an effective solution. By accelerating the shedding of pigmented cells and promoting the growth of new, even-toned skin, these peels can visibly reduce hyperpigmentation, revealing a clearer and more even complexion.
4 | Minimize Scarring
Whether you have acne scars or other minor scars on your back, Back Peels can help fade their appearance. The exfoliating action of the peels stimulates collagen production, which aids in skin regeneration and leads to a gradual improvement in the texture and visibility of scars.
5 | Soften Rough Skin
Back Peels not only exfoliate the skin but also help improve its ability to retain moisture. By removing the dead, dry surface cells, the skin’s ability to absorb and retain hydration from moisturizers and serums is enhanced. The result is noticeably softer, smoother, and suppler skin on your back.
6 | Smooth Fine Lines
Even if you’re not experiencing significant signs of aging on your back, prevention is key. Regular Back Peels can be an excellent preventive measure against premature aging. The stimulation of collagen and elastin production helps maintain skin elasticity, reduce fine lines, delay the appearance of wrinkles, and reveal a fresh glow to the skin.
Back Peel treatments offer a myriad of benefits beyond what standard homecare routines can achieve. Whether you struggle with acne, hyperpigmentation, or simply want to maintain healthy and radiant skin on your back, Back Peels are a game-changer.
Acids sound a bit too scary?
Start with a back treatment (formerly known as a Back Facial). The main focus of the Back Treatment is to extract the pores on your back. We recommend adding a BHA boost; Boosts are mild versions of the acids used in Back Peels, and are a great way to introduce your skin to AHAs and BHAs.
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.

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.
We offer mild “boost” peels that can be added to other services or deep peels that use medium to strong skin acids.

The chemicals used in skin peels are acids that are derived from natural sources. A peel involves chemically removing the outermost layers of the skin which in return promotes exfoliation and cell turnover. Depending on the type of peels used they can help treat fine lines, textural issues, acne, scarring, redness and provide a fresher, healthier appearance to the skin.
Chemical peels can be done on any area of the body, most commonly the face, neck, chest, hands and back.
Peels range in strength and have amazing benefits, however, they contain powerful peeling agents and have the ability to really hurt someone if not properly administered. Through a a proper consultation, your professional service provider will educate you about the peel and the expected outcomes including post treatment instructions.
Different peels can be mixed together and are known as blended peels. They can also be mixed with other ingredients such as vitamin c, hylauronic acid and dead sea minerals to pack an extra punch and provide a variety of additional benefits.
Whether you’d like to use peels as an anti aging method, or have a clear skin goal, your service provider can create a treatment plan customized for you.
