A gentler, all-hands back facial for sensitive, breakout-prone skin
The Back-Clearing Manual Facial treats "bacne", clogged pores and rough texture entirely by hand — warm compresses, manual deep cleansing, careful hand extractions and a tension-melting back massage, with no machines at any step. It's the version to choose when your back skin is sensitive or reactive, or when you simply prefer a slower, more therapeutic touch.
Performed by a licensed esthetician in a private Fort Myers studio, it clears the area you can't reach while releasing the shoulder tension you've been carrying. Pick your time right on this page, or browse every option on our book online page.
Clearer, calmer back skin — gently
What you'll notice
Your back leaves cleaner, calmer and smoother, without the extra redness stronger resurfacing can bring. Expect gradual refinement of texture and fewer new breakouts as a series progresses — plus a genuinely relaxed upper back from the massage step.
How results build
Hands-on clearing works in layers: a session every 2–4 weeks through a series, then monthly upkeep. The 3- and 6-session packs are priced for exactly that journey, and a single session still makes a visible difference.
The Florida factor
In SWFL's heat, sweat and sunscreen sit against your back most of the year, feeding congestion. Regular hands-on clearing keeps pores ahead of the climate — wear loose, breathable fabrics after your visit and daily SPF on exposed shoulders.

Why book with Lumina Skin Sanctuary
Frequently asked questions
Is there any downtime?
None to minimal. A little temporary pinkness can follow extractions and settles within a few hours. Wear loose, breathable clothing afterward and skip heavy sweating for 24 hours.
How is this different from the Back-Clearing Facial?
This version is 100% hands-on — no microdermabrasion or ultrasonic devices. Warm compresses, manual exfoliation and careful hand extractions make it the gentler choice for sensitive or reactive back skin.
How many sessions will I need?
Persistent back breakouts respond best to a series every 2 to 4 weeks, then monthly upkeep. The 3- and 6-session packs price that journey in from the start, and one session still leaves a visible difference.
Who is it best for?
Anyone with back or shoulder breakouts, clogged pores or rough texture who prefers a gentle, device-free approach — especially sensitive skin. Tell us about medications or allergies so we can tailor safely.
What should I do afterward?
Keep the area clean, avoid tight clothing, heavy sweating and heat for 24 hours, and use a gentle body wash between visits. Daily SPF on exposed shoulders matters in the Florida sun.
