More Than Just a Face Issue
When we think about acne, the first thing that comes to mind is usually the face. But for many, breakouts don’t stop there — they show up on the chest, back, and even shoulders. These areas are just as prone to clogged pores and inflammation, often caused by things like sweat, tight clothing, hair products, and skipping a post-workout shower.
The good news? Body acne is completely treatable. At Faciem Dermatology, we take a full-body approach to acne care, combining advanced treatments like HydraFacial Body with practical and if necessary prescriptive treatments keep your skin clear and healthy.
HydraFacial Body: Deep Care for Hard-to-Reach Breakouts
Think of HydraFacial Body as a deep reset for your skin. It’s a non-invasive treatment that goes beyond surface cleansing to tackle the root causes of acne — excess oil, clogged pores, and buildup of dead skin cells.
Here’s why our patients love it:
- Deep cleanse & exfoliation and chemical peel: Removes impurities and dead skin without harsh scrubbing.
- Gentle extractions: Clears clogged pores without leaving marks or causing irritation.
- Hydration & nourishment: Infuses the skin with calming, restorative serums.
- Custom boosters: Target redness, oiliness, or pigmentation depending on your needs.
And the best part? It’s suitable for all skin types — even sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Why It Works for Chest & Back Acne
The skin on your back and chest is thicker than your face but still produces oil. This makes these areas especially vulnerable to stubborn breakouts. HydraFacial Body works by:
- Reducing congestion and excess oil production.
- Soothing inflammation to help prevent new flare-ups.
- Improving skin texture so it looks smoother and more even.
- Supporting healthy skin barrier function for long-term results.
Everyday Tips to Keep Body Acne at Bay
Even with in-clinic treatments, what you do at home makes a big difference. Here are our dermatologist-approved tips:
- Shower after sweating — especially after the gym.
- Use a body wash with salicylic acid to help prevent clogged pores. E.g Micropeeling gel La Roche Posay.
- Skip abrasive scrubs — they can cause micro-tears and worsen inflammation so best to discuss before commencing.
- Wear breathable fabrics to reduce friction and heat buildup.
- Stay consistent — body acne often improves with steady care, not quick fixes.
