🧴Your visit, step by step · what's included
- 1Consultation and back-skin analysis — we examine your back and shoulders to identify whether breakouts, congestion or rough texture is the main target
- 2Deep cleanse of the back and shoulders — hard-to-reach areas get the thorough professional cleansing they almost never receive at home
- 3Microdermabrasion and ultrasonic peeling — dual resurfacing smooths rough, bumpy texture and fades the marks old breakouts leave behind
- 4Professional extractions — clogged pores and "bacne" are cleared safely across the back, where you physically can't do this yourself
- 5High-frequency to calm bacteria — germicidal current neutralizes acne bacteria across the treated area, helping keep new breakouts from forming
- 6A purifying mask and hydration — a detoxifying mask draws out impurities, then lightweight hydration leaves the skin balanced, not stripped
✦Benefits to expect
- Clearer back and shoulders
- Reduced congestion and 'bacne'
- Smoother, refined texture
- Confidence in backless styles
⏱️Downtime
Minimal. Temporary redness after extractions settles within a few hours to a day.
🔁Time between visits
Every 2–4 weeks over a series, then monthly to maintain.
📋Before your visit
- Arrive with clean skin if you can, and come 5–10 minutes early for your consultation.
- Skip strong exfoliating acids and retinol for 1–2 days beforehand.
- Avoid heavy sun exposure or tanning for 24–48 hours before.
- Tell us about any medications, allergies or skin conditions so we can tailor safely.
- Come hydrated and, ideally, makeup-free.
🧖After your visit
- Wear SPF daily and avoid direct sun — essential in the Florida climate.
- Skip heavy makeup for about 24 hours.
- Avoid heat — sauna, hot yoga, hot showers — for 24–48 hours.
- Hold off on strong actives (retinol, acids) for 1–2 days.
- Keep skin hydrated and be gentle — no picking or aggressive scrubbing.
🕐The first 24 hours — what to expect
- 1Right after — The back may be pink at extraction sites — normal, and you won't see most of it anyway; it settles within hours.
- 2This evening — Wear a clean, loose, breathable top and sleep in fresh sheets tonight.
- 3Tomorrow morning — Shower with a gentle (not exfoliating) wash; skip the gym one more day if you can — sweat is the enemy of fresh extractions.
🏠Caring for your skin between visits
- Cleanse gently morning and night with a barrier-friendly cleanser.
- Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every morning, rain or shine.
- Hydrate with a moisturizer suited to your skin type; add hyaluronic acid if dry.
- Introduce actives slowly and only as your esthetician recommends.
- Drink water, sleep well, and avoid picking at the skin between visits.
