WHAT IS A BACKLESS DRESS CLEANSE FACIAL?

You may have treated your face to a facial before—but how about your back? Back facials can be beneficial in cleansing those tough-to-reach spots, targeting a variety of skin care needs such as clogged pores, back acne, dehydrated skin, and even scars. This treatment mimics many of the traditional techniques used while performing treatments for the face, and incorporates deep cleansing, extractions, and purifying masks.

A backless dress facial (back facial) is good even if you do not suffer from back acne, as it will exfoliate the dead skin and moisturize both men and women in areas they cannot reach. Some additional backless dress facial benefits include:

  • Getting rid of back acne - It is a cleansing treatment for the back that can help clear out clogged pores through exfoliation, toning, and by providing nourishment. The second step removes impurities and imperfections from beneath the skin’s surface. Then, a mask is applied. The final step involves moisturizing the back to hydrate with a light massage.
  • Ease tension in back muscles - Like other facials, having a back facial is relaxing. You will notice that your back muscles, and areas like your neck, shoulders, and the midsection of your back, will benefit from the treatment’s massaging motions.
  • Softens and hydrates the skin on your back - With the added skin care products and oils during your facial treatment, you will immediately notice well-moisturized and softer skin.

 

At WellMedica, we recommend back facials once every 2 - 3 months in order to keep one’s skin healthy but, again, it does depend on the person’s skin type and skin routine prior to treatments. Each treatment might take an average of an hour.

The cost of a backless dress cleanse facial starts at $250 per session. There are a variety of factors that determine the overall price. To ensure that your backless dress cleanse facials are affordable, we accept a variety of payment methods including special financing plans.

There isn’t too much you need to do to prepare for a backless dress cleanse facial but there are a few things to note.

  • Stop using exfoliating skin care products a day or two before your facial to reduce sensitivity.
  • Avoid tanning prior to your facial appointment.
  • Do not wax your back hair at least 72 hours before the scheduled appointment.
  • Ensure that your skin is hydrated and moisturized on the day of your appointment. Drink plenty of water in the days leading to your treatment.

Back facials are particularly fitting treatments during bathing suit season or for people who wear low-back attire. Throughout the treatment, we use different lotions and gels that are applied to the skin, often followed by a nice hot towel rub. One is also massaged throughout the back, especially in places they are tense, in order to make it a healing experience. It feels like a super deluxe massage.

The whole backless dress cleanse takes place for about 30 minutes but can last longer depending on one’s needs. Our backless dress cleanse for scars mimics many of the traditional techniques used while performing treatments for the face and incorporates deep cleansing, extractions, and purifying masks. One may experience redness or irritation after the treatment, which usually comes with any facials. However, this should go away within a few days or less. Remember that results are cumulative. The more consistent you are with getting facials, the better your back skin will look and feel.

I travel over an hour to go to WellMedica. I have always had a great experience with Dr. Dima and all of the staff. Everyone is friendly and very accommodating. The backless dress facial was WONDERFUL- highly recommended!
