Back Acne Treatment – Before & After Care

Before Your Back Acne Treatment

  • 🧴 Avoid applying lotions, oils, or perfumes on your back the day of your appointment.

  • 🚫 Do not exfoliate, use retinoids, or strong acne treatments (like benzoyl peroxide) for 3–5 days prior.

  • 🌞 Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least one week before treatment.

  • 🧖‍♀️ Skip workouts or hot showers right before your appointment—sweat and heat can irritate.

  • 👚 Wear loose, clean clothing to your appointment to avoid friction and bacteria buildup.

After Your Back Acne Treatment

  • 💦 Keep the area clean and dry—use a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser as advised.

  • 🧼 Avoid scrubbing or using harsh products for 5–7 days.

  • 💧 Apply hydrating, acne-safe moisturizers to soothe the skin if recommended.

  • ☀️ Avoid direct sun exposure and always apply SPF if the area will be exposed.

  • 🥵 Skip intense workouts, sweating, hot tubs, and saunas for 48–72 hours post-treatment.

  • 👕 Wear clean, breathable clothing to prevent sweat and bacteria buildup.

  • 🚫 Don’t pick or pop any breakouts that appear—this can worsen inflammation or cause scarring.

  • 📅 Stay consistent with follow-up treatments for the best long-term results.
