Bacne Facial is a unique treatment designed to address the root cause of persistent back acne: overactive sebaceous glands. This innovative therapy combines Sebaceous Gland Ablation (SGA) technology followed by an exfoliation and purifying mask to provide a comprehensive solution for acne-prone skin on the back.
Unlike traditional acne treatments, the Bacne Facial uses a precise, high-frequency current (thermolysis) to selectively disable problematic oil glands without damaging surrounding skin. This non-drug therapy approach offers a safe, scar-free alternative for those seeking long-term management of back acne.

who is bacne facial for?

Anyone looking for a long-term solution to oily, acne-prone back skin
how does a bacne facial work?
The Bacne Facial begins with a thorough skin analysis of the back area to determine the type and grade of acneic blemishes. Our dermal clinicians then use a pen-like device with a fine probe to deliver targeted, high-frequency currents (thermolysis) directly to overactive sebaceous glands on the back. This process effectively neutralises these glands across all acne grades, preventing excess oil production that leads to back acne formation.
Following the SGA treatment, a customised peel is applied to exfoliate dead skin cells, unclog pores, and promote cell turnover on the back. The strength and type of peel are tailored to your back skin's needs and acne severity. The treatment concludes with a purifying mask, chosen based on your individual skin type and concerns, to soothe, hydrate, and further address acne-related issues on the back. This comprehensive approach not only treats existing back acne but also helps prevent future breakouts, offering a long-term solution for clearer, healthier back skin.
