While an embarrassing predicament to be in, having back acne - aka backne - is more common that you think. Especially in a hot and humid country like Singapore. When regular pimple cream and home scrubs don’t work, perhaps you’d want to invest in a back facial - or backcial - to rid yourself of the problem once and for all.

Similar to a regular facial, a back facial will help reduce the chance of breakouts, treat existing active acne, and help lighten scars caused by previous pimples. Here are 8 best back facials at aesthetic clinics and facial salons in Singapore, all at reasonably affordable prices.

#1: 8 Medi-Aesthetics

The treatments at 8 Medi-Aesthetics are formulated by doctors, and are non-invasive with little to no downtime. Same goes for their medical grade Luminous Back Peel, which helps kill acne-causing bacteria while getting rid of layers of dead skin with scars and pigmentation.

It normally costs $390 but you can get it at the trial price of $58, with a free skin assessment and consultation.

#2: Sozo Aesthetic Clinic

One thing we like about Sozo Aesthetic Clinic - other than the fact that they’re helmed by a reputable local doctor who has amazing skin himself - is that they’re very transparent with their prices, with everything listed comprehensively on their website. If your back is plagued by acne, they will likely recommend a customised Chemical Peel ($150) to clear your clogged pores and treat scars.

If scars are more of a concern than breakouts, you can try their Laser Treatment ($150) which makes use of CO2 laser and Pico laser, also customised to your individual needs.

BodyPerfect Aesthetics is primarily a slimming salon, but they also offer a Sexy Back Anti-Acne Treatment for backne. While this typically costs $328 for 1 session, you can enjoy it for just $18/session or $30/2 sessions ($15 each) with a coupon on Fave.

The session will start with a cup of welcome tea and a body analysis before you’re given a scrub to help open up your pores. Then, a high spectrum LED will be used to kill acne-forming bacteria, before it finishes off with a nourishing mask. You’ll also be given antioxidant aftercare.

Having worked with a slew of local celebrities like Xiang Yun, Hong Hui Fang, and Olinda Cho, this aesthetic clinic will have you in good hands no matter which of their 5 locations you pick.

Aside from their massages and regular facials, La Source Spa at Orchard has their own back facial, aptly-named La Bacial. This is a personalised treatment that helps rid your skin of impurities, reduce inflammation, and improve collagen production using Omega Light Therapy.

At $228, it’s one of the pricier ones on this list, but this 1-hour session also comes with a back, neck, and shoulder massage to help you further relax. Not to mention, the spa is an award-winning one that’s endorsed by socialite Jamie Chua.

Address: 581 Orchard Road, The Shopping Gallery at The Hilton, #02-17/18, Singapore 238883
Opening hours: 10am - 8pm daily

#6: Mizu Aesthetic Clinic

Depending on your backne condition, you will either be recommended a Carbon Laser Peel, Accelera Acne Laser, or a combination of both treatments at Mizu Aesthetic Clinic. You will likely need 2 to 5 sessions, spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart for best results.

The Carbon Laser Peel combats active acne using carbon gel - as opposed to the usual carbon powder suspension - for deeper penetration into the skin’s layers. On the other hand, the Accelera Acne Laser kills acne bacteria while clearing dead cells for brighter skin. Because the laser has a long pulse, it also helps reduce body hair - resulting in pores that get less easily clogged.

Address: 8A Marina Boulevard Marina Bay Link Mall, #B2-12, Singapore 018984
Opening hours: Monday to Friday: 11am - 8pm | Saturday 11am - 4.30pm (Closed on Sunday)
Telephone: 6634 4033

#7: Lux Medical Aesthetic Clinic

Instead of painful and invasive extractions which make use of needles, the Hydrafacial Back Treatment at Lux Medical Aesthetic Clinic rids you of impurities using a vortex-fusion vacuum suction that won’t break your skin. This 30-40 minute treatment is deeply hydrating and will decongest your skin, resulting in a smoother and clearer back.

This Hydrafacial Back Treatment starts from $300. You can also opt to get it with an Acne Mask for $350 in total.

Address: 2 Handy Road, #02-09 The Cathay, Singapore 229233

Bellezza Aesthetics has a range of different back-related beauty treatments depending on your concerns. Here’s a quick run-down:

Flawless Chemical Peel - removes damaged layers and unclogs oily, acne-prone skin
Microdermabrasion - deeply exfoliates skin while adding in lymphatic drainage. Helps treat acne and pigmentation scars.
Flawless Milky Peel - exfoliates the skin and boosts collagen production using a milk-derived acid
Skin Resurfacing - a nourishing treatment to improve blood circulation, hydrate, and smoothen skin

It appears that the Flawless Chemical Peel and Microdermabrasion are best suited for those with back pimples, while the latter two are more suitable for when your acne has already been eradicated.
