Back Acne (Bacne) Treatment
What Is a Back Acne Treatment?
A back acne treatment is a facial built for your back: a deep double cleanse, exfoliation, steam and professional extractions, then calming masks and serums. Our bacne treatments are performed by licensed skin therapists in four levels, and each one is fully customized to your back, so the strength matches how deep your breakouts run.
Extractions at every level
Blackheads, whiteheads and clogged pores along the spine and shoulders, cleared by hand and paced to your comfort.
Exfoliation matched to your back
Fruit enzymes and gentle acids at Level 1. Levels 2 and 3 add a clinical lactic, glycolic or salicylic peel chosen that day.
Blue light at Level 3
Our high-power panel: 2,000 blue 415 nm LEDs deliver the light dose of a full hour-long session in just 5 minutes, plus red/infrared. Blue light targets acne-causing bacteria and helps reduce inflammation.
FCR coral peel for texture
Our strongest option: a full-strength Korean coral spicule peel for stubborn bacne, dark marks and rough texture.
“I Have No Idea!” Back Treatment

Who it’s for
Back Acne We Treat
For teens and adults with breakouts on the back and shoulders, from mild to cystic acne.
Gym & sweat breakouts
Flare-ups from workouts, tight gear and backpacks, across the back and shoulders.
Blackheads & clogged pores
Congestion along the spine and shoulder blades that body wash can’t reach.
Hormonal back acne
Breakouts that come and go with your cycle or stress. We calm and clear what shows up on your skin.
Cystic & whole-back acne
Deep, painful or widespread breakouts. We treat them: Level 3 calms and soothes with clinical acids and blue light.
Dark marks after breakouts
Red or brown marks left behind. Clinical acids and the FCR peel help them fade over a series.
Chest breakouts too
Add the Chest Acne Treatment to any level and treat both in one visit.
Cystic or whole-back acne? We treat it. Level 3 – Back Acne + Clinical + Blue Light is built to calm and soothe deep, inflamed breakouts. Breakouts on your face? See our Advanced Acne Facial or Advanced Acne Peel. Chest too? Add the Chest Acne Treatment. No breakouts? The Back Facial is the glow-focused version.
How it works
What Happens During Your Back Acne Treatment
Every level starts the same way, then adds its own boost.
Skin check & double cleanse
Your skin therapist looks at your back, asks about your routine and any medication, then double cleanses to lift away sweat, sunscreen and oil.
Exfoliation
Concentrated fruit enzymes, spices and gentle acids (papaya, pumpkin, cinnamon and a salicylic prep) soften buildup.
Steam & extractions
Steam and hot towels soften pores, then blackheads, whiteheads and clogged pores are extracted along the spine and shoulders.
High-frequency
A high-frequency pass over congested and just-extracted areas helps clarify pores and supports healing. It is never used over active, inflamed breakouts.
Calming mask
An antibacterial cooling mask (probiotic, tea tree, sulfur or azulene) soothes the skin and calms redness, with extra soothing masks when breakouts are very active.
Your level’s boost
Level 2: a clinical lactic, glycolic or salicylic peel. Level 3: that peel plus our high-power blue light panel (2,000 blue 415 nm LEDs, the light dose of a full hour-long session in 5 minutes) with red/infrared, on our heated table. MAX: the full-strength FCR coral peel.
Serums & moisturizer
Oil-free healing serums and a lightweight moisturizer finish every level.
Level 1 takes about 45 minutes, Levels 2 and 3 about 1 hour, and Back Acne MAX about 55 minutes.

Results
Real Bacne Results
A real client’s progress through a series of six back acne treatments with blue light, paired with our at-home Back Acne body wash.
Results vary from person to person, which is why your level is matched to your skin in person.
Curious about the light itself? Read blue light therapy, explained.
“The back treatment didn’t seem like an add-on like the rest of the acne places, it seemed like a specialty, so I booked the most expensive one due to the severity of my acne. If you’re uncomfortable in your own skin and have let acne take over your back (and your life), it’s DEFINITELY WORTH IT!”
Same day
A cleaner, calmer back
Pores look clearer right away. Extraction spots can stay pink for a few hours.
Days 1–7
Settling in
Level 2 and 3 can bring light flaking around days 3 to 6. After the FCR peel, expect tingling and warmth for a few hours to a day, then light peeling.
Every 2–4 weeks
Your next visit
Mild bacne often improves in one or two visits. Moderate to severe back acne responds best to a series.
Over a series
Fewer breakouts, fading marks
With regular visits and the right home care, most clients see fewer, calmer breakouts and lighter marks.
What you can expect
- A cleaner, smoother back after each visit
- Calmer, less swollen cystic breakouts
- Fewer breakouts over a series
- Dark marks that fade over time
What it won’t do
- Change your hormones or completely clear all acne immediately
- Clear severe acne in one visit; results build over a series
- Replace good home care between visits

Stubborn bacne plus dark marks and rough texture: Back Acne MAX. Not sure? Text clear photos of your back to 866.956.1605 and a skin therapist will tell you which level fits. Whichever level you book, it's fully customized to your skin that day.
Can you treat cystic back acne?
Yes, we treat cystic back acne. Level 3 combines a clinical peel with our high-power blue light panel: 2,000 blue 415 nm LEDs deliver the light dose of a full hour-long session in 5 minutes, plus red/infrared light. Blue light targets acne-causing bacteria, including down in the pores and oil glands, and helps reduce inflammation, while calming masks soothe deep, painful breakouts. Cysts that can't be extracted safely are left alone and calmed instead. Most clients see calmer, less swollen breakouts over a series.
Can I use my HSA or FSA card?
Yes. HSA/FSA cards accepted for all back acne treatments and products.
Is there any downtime?
Level 1: none, just skip the gym and heavy sweating for 24 hours. Levels 2 and 3: skip the gym, sauna, hot yoga and heavy sweating for 48 hours, and expect light flaking for a few days. Back Acne MAX: tingling and warmth for a few hours to a day, no gym for 2 to 3 days, and no sun, jacuzzi or hot showers for 2 to 3 days.
How many treatments will I need?
Mild bacne often improves in one or two visits. Moderate to severe back acne responds best to a series every 2 to 4 weeks. The results on this page came from a series of six treatments with blue light, paired with our at-home Back Acne body wash.
Is there anything I should avoid before my treatment?
Wait at least 5 days after back waxing, tanning, a sunburn, laser treatment or using Retin-A on your back. Tell us when you book if you take Accutane. The Back Acne MAX FCR Coral Peel isn't for anyone who has taken Accutane or another oral retinoid in the last 6 months.
Can I treat chest acne at the same visit?
Yes. Add the Chest Acne Treatment for $49 (20 minutes) to any back acne treatment: deep cleanse and steam, enzyme exfoliation, extractions, high-frequency on congested areas, a mask matched to your main treatment and oil-free serums.
What if I don't have breakouts on my back?
Then book our Back Facial instead. It's the relaxing, glow-focused version with a deep cleanse, exfoliation and hydration, without the clinical acne protocol.
