What Causes Back Acne & Scarring?

Back acne and scarring are common, often caused by trapped oil, sweat and friction from clothing. The right treatment can help clear congestion and support smoother-looking skin over time.

Back acne often develops when hair follicles become blocked with oil, sweat and dead skin cells, a process worsened by friction from clothing or equipment. Left untreated, this can lead to scarring.

Most back acne and scarring respond well to consistent treatment — and at Santé, we tailor a plan to your skin's specific pattern of breakouts.

FAQs

Will treatment make my back acne worse before it improves?
Some peels can cause a brief purging phase in the first 1–2 weeks as congestion clears. We'll advise you on what to expect before your first session.
How many treatments will I need?
This depends on the severity of your acne and scarring. Most clients benefit from a course of 4–6 treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart.
Is this treatment suitable for larger areas like the back?
Yes — treatments are adapted for the back and other body areas, with settings adjusted accordingly.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Loose, breathable clothing is recommended to avoid irritating the treated area after your session.
