Back acne — often called “bacne” — can be frustrating, uncomfortable, and confidence-limiting. Whether it’s due to hormonal changes, excess oil, sweat, or clogged pores, acne on the back and shoulders can be challenging to treat on your own. At Flourish, our Back Acne Treatment – Upper Body is a comprehensive, results-driven service that targets the deeper layers of the skin to purify, exfoliate, and calm inflammation for visibly clearer, smoother skin.
This treatment is designed with both clinical precision and spa-level relaxation in mind. Each session is tailored to your skin’s needs — helping you not only treat existing breakouts but also prevent new ones from forming. By combining advanced technologies, medical-grade skincare, and targeted techniques, we help you achieve long-lasting clarity, comfort, and confidence in your skin.
What It Is
The Back Acne Treatment – Upper Body is a deep-cleansing, purifying, and resurfacing facial for your back, shoulders, and upper arms — areas often neglected yet prone to congestion. This treatment focuses on removing impurities, refining pores, and calming inflammation caused by excess sebum, sweat, or buildup from clothing and skincare products.
Unlike regular facials, this back-focused therapy works on thicker skin that tends to accumulate oil and dead skin more easily. It goes beyond surface cleansing to reach the deeper layers where acne begins — restoring your skin’s natural balance and smoothness. It’s ideal for clients seeking visible improvement in acne breakouts, scarring, or overall skin tone on their upper body.
Why Back Acne Happens
Back acne is more common than most people think — and it affects individuals of all ages. The skin on your back contains numerous sebaceous (oil) glands that produce sebum to keep your skin moisturized. However, when these glands become overactive, or when dead skin cells and bacteria accumulate, pores become clogged — leading to whiteheads, blackheads, pustules, and painful cystic acne.
Some of the most common contributing factors include:
- Hormonal fluctuations that increase oil production
- Excessive sweating from workouts or heat without proper cleansing
- Friction from tight clothing, backpacks, or sports gear (“acne mechanica”)
- Improper skincare or use of heavy, comedogenic products
- Stress, diet, and lifestyle factors that influence oil production and inflammation
Over time, chronic inflammation can lead to dark spots, uneven texture, or scarring. Our treatment targets all these underlying issues — helping your skin heal, rebalance, and renew itself naturally.
Purpose & Benefits
The Back Acne Treatment – Upper Body delivers a complete skin-renewal experience. It’s not just about cleansing — it’s about restoring clarity, balance, and radiance to the skin.
Key Benefits:
- Removes impurities and excess oil: Deep cleansing clears out blocked pores and debris trapped under the skin’s surface.
- Reduces active acne and inflammation: Professional-grade exfoliants and antibacterial therapies minimize breakouts and soothe irritation.
- Improves skin texture and tone: The treatment refines rough, uneven skin and promotes a smooth, touchable surface.
- Lightens acne scars and hyperpigmentation: Advanced ingredients and LED light help fade discoloration caused by past breakouts.
- Prevents future breakouts: By balancing oil production and supporting skin renewal, your back stays clearer for longer.
- Boosts confidence and comfort: Smoother, healthier skin helps you feel more confident in your own body — especially during warmer months or after workouts.
What Makes This Treatment Unique
While many people try to manage back acne with over-the-counter washes or scrubs, those options often only target the surface. At Flourish, our approach is clinical yet nurturing — addressing both the visible symptoms and the deeper imbalances within the skin.
Our expert skin therapists customize every session based on your skin type, acne severity, and sensitivity level. Whether you have mild congestion or persistent cystic acne, we tailor the treatment to ensure maximum comfort and visible results. The combination of manual techniques, professional skincare formulations, and advanced technologies sets this service apart from standard back facials.
How It Works
Every Back Acne Treatment – Upper Body session is structured around four key steps: Cleanse, Exfoliate, Purify, and Rejuvenate. Each phase works synergistically to restore balance and health to your skin.
1. Deep Cleansing & Exfoliation
The treatment begins with a thorough double cleanse to remove surface impurities, sweat, and oil buildup. Using a blend of antibacterial and clarifying ingredients, this step prepares your skin for deeper exfoliation.
Next, your therapist performs an exfoliation using either enzymatic peels, microdermabrasion, or AHA/BHA formulations — depending on your skin’s condition. This step removes dead skin cells, refines texture, and unclogs pores, allowing for smoother and healthier regeneration.
2. Steam & Gentle Extractions
Warm steam is applied to soften the skin and open pores, making extractions easier and more comfortable. Our therapists use precise, hygienic extraction techniques to clear blackheads, whiteheads, and blockages without damaging the skin. This detoxifying phase helps prevent future breakouts and enhances the skin’s natural healing process.
3. Customized Mask or OxyGeneo™ Facial Technology
Following extractions, your skin is treated with a customized mask chosen to calm, clarify, or hydrate — depending on your unique needs. For enhanced results, you may choose to upgrade to OxyGeneo™ therapy, a cutting-edge facial technology that infuses oxygen into the skin while gently exfoliating and nourishing with active ingredients. This helps stimulate collagen production, improve skin tone, and enhance radiance.
4. LED Light Therapy or Herbal Infusion
To complete the treatment, we use LED light therapy or a soothing herbal infusion to calm redness, reduce inflammation, and target acne-causing bacteria.
- Blue light eliminates Propionibacterium acnes bacteria responsible for breakouts.
- Red light promotes healing, reduces post-acne marks, and enhances circulation.
- Herbal infusions may be used for a natural, soothing finish that balances the skin’s pH and moisture levels.
Results You Can Expect
After your first session, your back will feel noticeably smoother and cleaner. With continued treatments, clients typically observe:
- Fewer breakouts and less inflammation
- Reduced oiliness and congestion
- Gradual fading of dark spots and scars
- Improved skin texture and tone
- An overall clearer, healthier complexion
For optimal results, we often recommend a series of treatments, spaced every 2–4 weeks, depending on the severity of your acne and your skin’s recovery rate. Consistency is key — especially when combined with a good at-home skincare routine.
Who It’s Ideal For
This treatment is suitable for:
- Men and women experiencing back acne or congestion
- Athletes or active individuals who sweat frequently
- Clients dealing with hormonal or stress-related breakouts
- Those with acne scars, hyperpigmentation, or uneven texture
- Anyone who wants smoother, clearer, more confident skin on their upper body
Because the treatment is fully customizable, it’s safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. Your therapist will assess your skin prior to treatment to ensure the best approach for you.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Upon arrival, you’ll have a short consultation with your skincare specialist. We’ll discuss your skin history, lifestyle, and any current concerns. This helps us personalize your treatment and select the best techniques and products for your needs.
You’ll then relax comfortably as your therapist begins the cleansing and exfoliation process. The treatment is both therapeutic and refreshing — many clients find it to be deeply relaxing, thanks to the combination of gentle massage techniques and soothing aromatherapy.
The entire session typically lasts between 45–75 minutes, depending on the level of congestion and any optional add-ons such as OxyGeneo™ or LED therapy.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Proper aftercare is essential to maintain results and prevent future breakouts. Your therapist will provide personalized recommendations based on your skin condition, but general guidelines include:
- Avoid hot showers or saunas for 24 hours post-treatment.
- Skip heavy lotions, oils, or self-tanners that may clog pores.
- Exfoliate gently once or twice a week at home (avoid over-scrubbing).
- Wear breathable clothing and shower promptly after workouts.
- Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet to support skin healing.
- Apply SPF daily if the treated area will be exposed to sunlight.
With proper care and consistency, you can expect longer-lasting results and reduced recurrence of breakouts.
Optional Add-Ons for Enhanced Results
We offer several enhancements to complement your Back Acne Treatment, including:
- OxyGeneo™ Infusion Therapy – Oxygenates and infuses skin with active nutrients.
- LED Light Therapy – Reduces inflammation and speeds up healing.
- Chemical Peels (AHA/BHA) – Deeply exfoliates and resurfaces stubborn texture.
- Hydrojelly Masks – Locks in hydration and soothes irritation post-extraction.

These add-ons can be discussed during your consultation to help you achieve your desired outcome more effectively.
