About Condition
Backne—short for back acne—is a common skin condition that affects the upper back, shoulders, and sometimes the lower back. It can present as blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, or even painful cysts. Backne often results from excess oil production, clogged pores, sweat buildup, or friction from clothing and athletic gear.
While it may be hidden beneath clothing, backne can be just as frustrating as facial acne and often impacts confidence—especially in warmer months or social settings. At Aesthetica MedSpa, we treat backne using medical-grade chemical peels that are specifically formulated to exfoliate and clarify thicker skin on the back.
Chemical peels work by removing the outer layers of dead skin cells, helping to clear blocked pores, reduce inflammation, and fade post-acne discoloration. The result is smoother, clearer skin and a significant reduction in active breakouts over time. Our back peels are customized based on acne severity and skin type to ensure safe and effective results.
Patients from Franklin Lakes, Wyckoff, Garfield, Wayne, Ridgewood, Hackensack, Fair Lawn, Clifton, River Edge, and Paramus, NJ trust Aesthetica MedSpa for acne solutions beyond the face. Backne treatments may also be paired with at-home skincare recommendations to maintain results between sessions. Our team is committed to helping every client feel confident from every angle.
