What is back acne?

Acne on the back can be caused by a build up of bacteria in blocked hair follicles. People may also experience back acne from factors such as hormonal changes, diet, and certain medications.

Acne in general is caused by various factors, however back acne may occur via:

  • Sweating
  • Hair products
  • Hormonal changes
  • Diet
  • Hygiene

How we can help

At Continental Skin Clinic London we can treat back acne via:

  • Healite II LED: Our LED therapy treatment utilises the power of blue light to kill acne causing bacteria, while also calming inflammation from active spots.
  • Chemical Peels: AHA and BHA chemicals peels can be applied to the entire back to help in shrinking active acne, while also preventing the formation of new breakouts.
  • Hollywood Carbon Peel: This treatments shrinks the appearance of pores, and gently exfoliates skin cells. This can prevent the hair follicles from becoming blocked by dead skin.
  • Extractions: We offer extractions for back acne, especially for blackheads that may need to be removed through mechanical means.

We recommend having a consultation prior to the treatment, where our experts will assess the areas you wish to treat and generate a bespoke treatment plan for you.
