Back acne, or “bacne”, refers to the development of acne on the back. Back acne may result in a combination of whiteheads, blackheads, or red bumps on the back that look and feel painful and unflattering. Acne occurs when oil, dirt, and dead skin cells clog your skin’s pores, resulting in breakouts. Oftentimes, back acne breakouts are caused by sweat becoming trapped under a shirt while exercising. Anyone at any age can get back acne; however, teenagers and young adults typically struggle with bacne the most. Bacne is not only visibly unflattering but can be challenging to treat due to the difficulty of where the acne is located on the body.

Consistently cleansing and exfoliating your back when showering may help reduce mild cases of back acne, but is not as effective in treating moderate to severe breakouts. Professional aesthetic treatments provide a stronger, more effective approach to eliminating breakouts and maintaining clear skin. We offer laser treatments, like Forever Clear BBL, as well as chemical peels that can help reduce the appearance of acne breakouts to achieve clearer, healthier-looking skin. Using a combination of targeted light energy, Forever Clear BBL can eliminate acne-causing bacteria on the back and stimulate the skin’s natural healing process to help remove breakouts and maintain radiantly clear skin.
