What is bacne?
Back acne, or “bacne,” forms when oils and dead skin cells clog the pores on your back. These breakouts can take many forms, including whiteheads, blackheads, and red bumps.
Bacne often occurs when sweat gets trapped underneath a shirt or athletic gear, usually during strenuous activities. This type of breakout is called “acne mechanica,” and examples include blemishes formed around:
- Sports bras
- Sweat towels
- Sports jerseys
- Backpacks
Other frequent causes of bacne include:
- Genetics
- Hormones
- Certain medications
- Poor hygiene
- Stress
Bacne Treatments at About Face Aesthetics
If bacne makes you feel self-conscious about wearing tank tops or swimsuits, About Face Aesthetics can help. Here are a few of our top bacne treatments.
AviClear
AviClear uses an intense light beam to target sebaceous glands, drastically reducing the skin’s ability to create oil. By reducing the oil your body produces, AviClear addresses bacne at its source. We can treat all skin tones and types with AviClear, and we recommend patients undergo approximately 3 treatment sessions for optimal bacne reduction.
As an added bonus, About Face Aesthetics now offers an Acne Apocalypse Package. Acne sufferers don’t just want to get rid of current breakouts and prevent future acne, they want to erase past signs (discoloration and scarring) from past breakouts to make their skin look as if they’ve never suffered from this skin-bane. The About Face Apocalypse Package includes 3 AviClear treatments to stop future breakouts, and 3 refinement sessions to help erase lingering signs of past breakouts. We recommend consulting your provider to learn if the Acne Apocalypse Package suits your aesthetic needs.
Chemical Peels
As the ultimate customizable treatment, chemical peels exfoliate oil and dead skin cells to heal active bacne breakouts.
Some of our chemical peels include:
- BioRePeel – Encourages cell turnover without the downtime associated with traditional chemical peels.
- SkinCeuticals Pigment Balancing Peel – Addresses areas of hyperpigmentation like acne scars.
- SkinCeuticals – Nourishes your skin from within while addressing everything from hyperpigmentation to pore size.
- Perfect Peel – A medium-deep peel that we can customize to address a variety of skin concerns.
To determine which chemical peel is right for you, schedule an aesthetician consultation with one of our skin professionals.
