Bacne

Back acne, also known as bacne, is a common skin condition that affects many people. It is characterized by the appearance of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads on the back, shoulders, and upper arms. Back acne can be caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal changes, genetics, and certain skincare products.

What causes Acne on the back?

One of the most common causes of back acne is the overproduction of oil in the skin. The oil, combined with dead skin cells, can clog pores and lead to the formation of pimples. Hormonal changes, such as those that occur during puberty or pregnancy, can also lead to an increase in oil production and the development of back acne. Back acne affects people of all ages, but it is most common in teenagers and young adults. This is because hormonal changes during puberty can lead to an increase in oil production and the development of back acne. However, anyone can develop back acne, regardless of their age.

Individuals with skin and body conditions can also face social isolation and discrimination. They may avoid social situations and feel self-conscious about their appearance, leading to feelings of loneliness and isolation. It's important to seek help if you are struggling with depression due to a skin or body condition and we always advise to speak to your closest family and friends first to get some advice.

Questions people ask before booking

Is the consultation really free?

Yes. About 40 minutes, in person, in London, Birmingham or Manchester. You leave with a written plan and the price. No obligation.

How much will it cost?

It depends on what your skin needs. Your figure is written into your plan at the free consultation, before you decide, and there are flexible instalment options with no interest or admin fees.

How many visits, and how long?

A standard course is three to six visits over six to ten weeks. If there is a date you are working to, count back ten weeks and tell us.

Does it hurt?

Most treatments feel like warmth, tingling or a quick sting rather than pain, and numbing cream is used where it helps. The practitioner tells you exactly what to expect for your treatment before you decide, and you can stop at any point.

How many visits will I need?

It depends on the treatment and on your skin. Many plans are three to six visits over six to ten weeks; some single treatments are one visit. Your written plan says the number before you pay for anything.

When will I see a difference, and how long does it last?

Some treatments show a change within days; those that work by building collagen take six to twelve weeks to show fully. How long results last depends on the treatment, your skin and how well it is protected from the sun. The practitioner gives you a realistic timeline rather than a promise.

What is the downtime?

Anything from none to a few days of redness or peeling, depending on the treatment. Each treatment page says what to expect, and the plan is timed around your diary where it matters, for example before an event.

Is it safe for darker skin?

Darker skin has more active pigment cells and marks more easily, so settings and treatments are chosen for your skin type and some are avoided. Tell us your skin type at the consultation and the plan is built around it.

Who should not have it?

Pregnancy, some medications, active infections and certain medical conditions rule some treatments out. The consultation goes through this with you, and if a treatment is not suitable the practitioner says so and suggests what will work instead.

Can I combine treatments?

Often, and the programmes are built that way. The order matters: active acne is calmed before scarring is treated, for example. The practitioner sets the sequence.
