How to Clear Back Acne and Chest Breakouts
Acne doesn't just happen on the face. If you struggle with painful breakouts, clogged pores, or scarring on your back or chest, a professional 'Bacial' (Back Facial) provides the deep extraction you can't reach yourself.
The back has extremely large, dense sebaceous glands. When tight clothing traps sweat and dead skin (especially after working out), these large pores easily become blocked. Because you cannot easily reach your own back, it is impossible to exfoliate or extract properly at home.
We treat the back exactly like the face. A 'Bacial' includes deep double cleansing under steam, professional exfoliation (often utilizing Salicylic Acid to cut through body oils), meticulous manual extractions, and a purifying clay mask to draw out impurities.
How Galeo Guides This Journey
Every concern needs a thoughtful treatment path. We use consultation, skin or treatment assessment, and realistic planning to guide clients toward the most suitable next step.
The Back Facial (Bacial) Explained
You lie comfortably face-down in our tranquil treatment room while the therapist treats your back to a full clinical facial. We steam the skin to soften the heavy body sebum, allowing us to painlessly extract blackheads you couldn't reach.
Cutting through the oil with Peels
The skin on the back is much thicker and tougher than the face, meaning it can tolerate stronger chemical exfoliants. We often use targeted Pro Power Peels (like Salicylic Acid) to dive deep into the body pores and kill the acne-causing bacteria instantly.
Fading Body Scars
Body acne tends to leave stubborn, dark post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation marks. Our professional resurfacing treatments accelerate cellular turnover, rapidly fading these dark spots so your back looks smooth and even-toned.
Recommended Treatment Options
These treatment options are often the most relevant next step for this concern, depending on your goals, comfort level, maintenance preference and desired result.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to shower before I come?
While we appreciate basic hygiene, we perform a thorough double-cleanse using professional purifying body washes at the start of the treatment anyway.
How can I prevent back acne at the gym?
Always wear loose, breathable cotton if possible. Most importantly, remove sweaty gym clothes immediately after your workout and shower—don't sit in the car or run errands while the sweat dries into your pores.
Is a bacial relaxing?
Yes! Despite the clinical extraction work, it includes hot towels, massage elements, and soothing masks. It feels incredibly relaxing to have your back tended to so professionally.
