The Back Facial is a dedicated, professional treatment that gives that skin the same level of attention and care as any facial service. Using professional cleansing, gentle exfoliation, extractions where needed, and hydrating finishing treatment, this session leaves the back visibly clearer and the body genuinely at ease.

This is a deeply relaxing, restorative experience designed to clarify, smooth, and refresh skin that's been overlooked.

What to Expect

This is a comfortable, restorative session from start to finish. There is no harshness here — just skilled, attentive work on skin that deserves care. You will leave feeling relaxed, refreshed, and noticeably clearer.

How Often?

One week before an event is a good time to book. There is no set schedule. If you have ongoing concerns with the skin on your back, I’ll plan a rhythm with you after your first session.

Questions

Common Questions

How long is a back facial, and what does it cost?

Fifty minutes, $150. Deep cleansing, exfoliation and extractions across the back and shoulders, finished with hands-on work.

Are extractions included?

Yes. Extractions without a lancet are part of every Back Facial. If you would like extractions with a lancet, add the Extractions add-on for $30 by writing it in the Reason for appointment box when you book.

When should I book it?

Before a backless dress, a wedding, or the start of summer. It is also good as regular care for skin you cannot reach yourself.

The Back Facial at Altru Radiance is performed for cosmetic, not medical, purposes — to support the appearance of the skin.
