What Is A Back Facial?

Depending on your circumstances, a back facial can incorporate extractions, but usually, it’s the light massage, deep cleaning, exfoliation, and moisturizing that people enjoy the most.

While you relax, one of our estheticians will often use creams and steam to prepare and then exfoliate your skin. Then your back will be thoroughly and deeply cleaned. During this process, pores will be opened and unclogged, freeing your back from dirt, dead skin, and oil. This process will clear and enliven your back before finally receiving a detoxifying and hydrating mask for your skin that will seal in the benefits and finish your muscle relaxing session.

What Are The Benefits Of Back Facials?

It’s easy to imagine why our backs need and deserve a bit of special attention, after all, they are behind us, rather than facing us directly in the mirror. They also constitute one of the largest swatches of skin on our bodies.

Some of the benefits of experiencing a back facial, with a trained esthetician, can include:

Informational discussion and addressing of any issues
Clearing/cleaning your pores through exfoliation
Removal of dirt/dead skin/oil
Relaxing of your muscles
Hydration of your skin

Also, and to be determined, whatever else is recommended by the esthetician for your particular circumstances, needs, and/or wants. Often back facials are associated with a service for people that only have issues with acne. However, certainly, anyone can benefit from a massaging steam-clean, deep exfoliation, and final moisturizing, massaging treatment.

Who Are Candidates For Back Facials?

Really anyone can benefit from and enjoy a back facial, so go ahead and book your appointment with Maine Plastic Surgery today. Paying healthful attention to an often neglected part of our bodies feels great, and we deserve that. Though many seek these sessions to treat and alleviate skin conditions that they’re experiencing, but are having a hard time treating themselves. It’s also common that they find it embarrassing to ask their loved ones for help. Even if their partners are willing to help treat skin issues on the back, it’s possible that they could be treating the issues in the wrong manner, which could even exacerbate the existing issue.

Those facing these types of concerns will benefit the most from sessions with our estheticians. Having a medical professional address whatever issue you’re facing anywhere on your body, is always the best course of action. Maine Plastic Surgery is here to help, by first answering any and all questions you might have about any service, or procedure we offer.
