Back Peels

We tend to think of chemical peels as facial treatments. However, they provide a wonderful skin rejuvenation solution for many other areas of the body as well. One of the most popular non-facial applications is back treatment. This procedure is appropriate for men or women who have specific skin concerns, or those who simply want to improve their appearance. Nothing can ruin a bikini body like acne, discoloration, or visible signs of aging on the back.

How it is used

The face is often the center of cosmetic concerns, but you should be able to enjoy healthy, attractive skin, head to toe. Because the back area presents challenges when applying skin care products or exfoliants yourself, it is often subject to the buildup of sebum and other pore-clogging substances. One of the most common uses of back peels is acne treatment, which is formulated to remove excess skin oil, comedones, and other blockages of the pores. However, back peels may also be used to treat pigmentation problems, and other sun damage or signs of aging.

How it works

Like facial chemical peels, the back peel is performed by applying a specific formula to the skin, allowing it to soak, and then removing it. The type and strength of the formula will be determined according to your desired results. We will perform a comprehensive skin examination to ensure that you are a good candidate before recommending any kind of treatment.

Recovery and results

Chemical peels on the back are not usually aggressive treatments, but they require the same aftercare as facial peels. Protect the treated area from sunlight, and do not pick at any peeling skin. Depending on the depth of the peel, healing may take from one to several days. When it is complete, you can enjoy healthier, more attractive skin.
