Body Acne - Prevention & Treatments

Acne is a problem not only on the face, but it can also be on the chest and back areas. Beach and pool season is upon us, and if you are worried about taking your shirt off and flaunting your stuff because of body acne, we’ve got some good news for you! Acne on the back and chest an be managed by using body wash containing glycolic acid or salicylic acid such as MedPeel Pre-Peel Cleanser. Use the body wash/cleanser in the shower daily, and you should begin to see a difference in as little as few weeks. For a more aggressive and quick treatment, consider a TCA peel. Trichloroacetic Acid is one of the most effective chemical peels for tougher skin on the body. While TCA is only recommended for experienced peelers and professionals, so aside from the fact that you can’t apply a peel to your back by yourself, you’ll need some help with application. Chat with one of our licensed esthetician’s or lookup a local esthetician near you for a consultation.

Back Acne Scars-Cause
Back acne scars are caused by acne on the back. Acne usually starts on the face, and some people get acne on chest and back. The cause of back acne is the same with face acne. Excessive sebum production and dead skin cells clogs the pores on skin and with bacterial growth on this are causes acne breakouts.

Back Acne Scars – Prevention
Even though clothes do not cause acne on back, wearing clean clothes will definitely reduce the change of bacterial growth on the skin. Sweating is also a factor for acne breakouts on body, thus showering everyday, especially after exercising will prevent acne breakouts. Once acne is gone, they usually leave something to remember them by. Acne scars. Squeezing or pressuring the acne is a big cause for acne scars. If you have acne on back, avoid wearing tight clothes or back packs.

Back Acne Scars – Treatment
Back acne scar treatments are not different from face acne scar treatments. For mild cases, chemical peeling will be enough to get rid of back acne scars. After chemical peel, the top layer of skin will be gone and new skin cells will grow. Redness and sensitivity may occur after the treatment.

Microdermabrasion can be used for moderate acne scars. This technique is essentially sanding down the skin. The principle is the same with chemical peeling, but instead of chemicals a sandpaper or a similar equipment is used. Laser treatment is the most popular and the most effective way to treat acne scars. Laser treatment is used for severe cases of acne scars.

Laser treatment will resurface the skin on your back after a few sessions and you will get a scar-free, smooth skin on your back.
