Very often we don't pay attention to the health of our back skin until problems arise. But summer comes, and you want to bare your shoulders (or a dress with an open back requires it), then you have to blush because of your negligence in relation to the skin of your back. Try to understand that only the skin of your face requires care. Deep atraumatic back cleansing is a new care procedure. Let's take a closer look at it.
What is deep atraumatic back cleansing?
The term “atraumatic” reveals the meaning of this cosmetic method. The surface of the skin is cleaned carefully, without injury. At the same time, the procedure is considered deep and is carried out in a salon using professional products.
When talking about cleaning, we mean peeling using chemicals or using ultrasound. In the process of cleaning the back, the specialist uses a certain set of acids. They are not concentrated enough to leave a burn (this is used in medium peeling), but they are quite suitable for removing dead cells, sebaceous plugs in pores, and sebum.

Who is recommended for deep atraumatic back cleansing?
It is believed that cleansing should occur independently, i.e. without outside help. The sebaceous glands secrete enough secretion onto the surface of the skin to keep it smooth and soft, and its protective function to work.
Due to the deplorable state of the environment, the influence of ultraviolet radiation, hormone dysfunction and improper care, the condition of the sebaceous glands becomes worse. There is an excess of fat on the skin. If dead cells are not exfoliated in time, they accumulate in the ducts of the sebaceous glands. When exposed to air, fat oxidizes, which causes comedones - the so-called “black spots” - to appear. The source of inflammation is called acne (or scientifically, acne), and such skin is considered problematic.
Cleaning is prescribed for the following cosmetic defects:
- Excessive sebum secretion;
- Increased dryness;
- Enlarged pores;
- Blackheads, pimples;
- The appearance of acne;
- Formation of age spots;
- Photoaging;
- First age wrinkles;
- Aging skin;
- Gray or uneven skin color;
- Uneven skin surface.
Acid solutions have a beneficial effect on skin of any age. In addition, atraumatic back cleansing normalizes the synthesis of your own collagen and elastin fibers, which means that the process of rejuvenation is underway.

Examination of women and men with acne on the back
The tactics for examining patients with acne depend on the following factors:
- age;
- gender;
- family history;
- the presence of gynecological diseases (in women);
- duration of acne;
- severity of the disease;
- the effectiveness of previously prescribed treatment;
- general condition of the patient;
- constitutional status;
- presence of other dermatoses, etc.
When acne appears on the back in women, treatment includes a visit to a gynecologist-endocrinologist. The specialist will tell you what tests to take. During the examination, the doctor may prescribe tests to detect polycystic disease, hirsutism, anovulatory menstrual cycles, pituitary adenoma, and adrenal hyperplasia. If there is resistance to treatment, additional studies of the ovaries and adrenal glands can also be performed to exclude tumor diseases.
Treatment of acne on the back in men is preceded by examinations of the thyroid gland, studies for the presence of carbohydrate metabolism disorders, androgen-producing tumors, and thyroid diseases. If acne is combined with rosacea, men may be referred to a gastroenterologist for a gastrointestinal examination.
Contraindications to deep atraumatic back cleansing
Although cleaning is safe and low-traumatic, it happens that its implementation may be unacceptable. First of all, this concerns individual intolerance to drugs contained in the acids used.
In addition, there are some other contraindications:
- Skin diseases, including eczema, herpes, psoriasis;
- Pustular skin lesions caused by an increase in the number of staphylococcal or streptococcal bacteria;
- Damage to the epidermis (burns, cuts, abrasions);
- Keloid scars;
- Large or unusual moles;
- Oncological diseases.
When these phenomena are not observed, nothing will interfere with the back cleaning procedure.
Skin of any age (no matter what quality) needs care, which will result in a disinfecting, restorative, rejuvenating and nourishing effect.
Maximum results can be achieved if the skin is not damaged and there is no risk to blood vessels. The effect lasts for a long time and does not require a tedious recovery period.

What are the benefits of deep atraumatic back cleansing?
- No mechanical injuries that occur during banal home cleaning with your hands, when you have to press, stretch and even slightly tear the fabric;
- Carrying out a procedure that is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, dry, inflamed, aging skin;
- Minimum contraindications (cleaning can be carried out even with progressive rosacea);
- Ridding the epidermis of comedones, pustules (pimples or blackheads), relieving inflammatory processes in certain areas;
- No traces after the procedure (redness disappears in a matter of hours);
- Instant transformation of the skin after cleansing, that is, you don’t have to wait until the skin becomes perfect.
Interestingly, a small concentration of acids makes the procedure painless and does not cause inconvenience. With atraumatic back cleansing, you can only feel a slight tingling sensation if the skin is hypersensitive. Please note that cleaning with acids does not risk spreading infection to the skin. At least, the anti-inflammatory result of cleaning is great, as evidenced by the rapid disappearance of redness.
It is of great importance that the procedure can be performed even in spring and summer. If you have the necessary preparations and knowledge, cleaning can be done at home. Treatment of a certain area of the skin with products is also practiced.
Preventing acne on the shoulders
It is impossible to predict the appearance of acne on the shoulders , but you can reduce their number and the “scope” of the process using the following methods:
- try to open the affected areas more often so that the skin “breathes”;
- wear synthetic clothes less often, give preference to natural fabrics;
- Do not squeeze pimples under any circumstances! this provokes their spread to healthy skin;
- It is not advisable to do peeling or cleaning in the presence of inflamed areas;
- take care of your personal hygiene.
How to perform deep atraumatic back cleansing using chemical peeling
Cleaning is carried out in several stages.
- Standard treatment with a cleansing agent based on skin type. Thanks to the product, fat is dissolved, a layer of cosmetics and dust is erased.
- Peeling using a chemical solution based on fruit acid. The clean skin of the back is covered with a mask that protects the skin from external pollution. It opens the pores and partially dissolves dead skin cells of the epidermis. This cleaning is quite feasible at home using low concentration acids. If you want to get the effect of rejuvenating and healing your skin, you should use the mask no more than once a week. To remove inflammation, you can apply it every day.
- Peeling using high concentration acids. Typically, glycolic acid is combined with sour juice or extract of a certain fruit or berry (lemon, apple, grapes, raspberries, oranges), enzymes of papaya, figs. While applying the mask, the specialist gently massages the skin, helping the acid penetrate deeper into the skin. Increasing the concentration enhances the effect of the procedure: pores open more, the skin warms up, and blackheads can be easily removed.
- Next, the peeling procedure with enzymes is carried out. It contains whey protein. The goal of this stage is to completely open the pores and make the skin of the back as moist as possible.
- After completing the peeling procedure, the cosmetologist moisturizes the skin. To do this, cover it with napkins soaked in a moisturizer. Ten minutes is enough - and the napkins are removed, and the skin is treated with antibacterial lotion.
- The procedure for deep atraumatic back cleansing ends with the application of a special mask with a calming effect to the skin. It contains ingredients that will help remove inflammation and close enlarged pores.
The compositions begin to work immediately after application and within a couple of days after the procedure. During this time, sebaceous plugs dissolve, pores become cleaner, the skin brightens and looks younger.
Treating acne on shoulders yourself
Self-treatment is not recommended, since in case of any abnormalities in the functioning of the body, the problem should be dealt with by a specialist. After all, you can misdiagnose the disease yourself and, accordingly, receive treatment without results.
But if you are confident that you can handle it on your own, use the following means:
- tea tree oil: treat rashes with it 1-2 times a day;
- decoction of chamomile, calendula and sage: you can freeze the prepared decoction in an ice tray and treat acne 2-3 times a day;
- tar soap: this soap has an antibacterial component that reduces existing inflammation and prevents the appearance of new acne; its only disadvantage is that tar soap “dries” the skin;
- alcohol tinctures: salicylic acid and calendula tincture are rightfully considered the most effective; You should only lubricate the pimple, take care of unaffected skin;
- pharmaceutical preparations: “Baziron”, “Zinerit”.

Deep atraumatic back cleansing using ultrasonic peeling
The procedure for cleansing the back using ultrasound is divided into several stages. At the first stage, the cosmetologist cleanses the skin with lotion or milk intended for this procedure. Then, using vaporization (steaming), it opens the ducts of the sebaceous glands so that cleaning is more effective.
An excellent result is achieved by ultrasonic cleaning, but a specialist may recommend using a combined back cleaning that includes several types of effects. Combined cleaning combines a hardware method (vacuum or ultrasonic) and mechanical cleaning of the back skin.
The products used for back cleaning have disinfectant and anti-inflammatory properties. Each stage corresponds to certain preparations: preparatory, cleansing, final. In addition, the drugs are actively active for two more days after cleansing, during which the result of the procedure becomes evident: all the “plugs” disappear, inflammation goes away, the oily sheen is replaced by a healthy matte finish.
Cleaning time takes approximately 120 minutes.
The procedure consists of the following steps:
- Cleansing the skin;
- Toning;
- Use of enzymatic peeling (as prescribed);
- Skin preparation (application of hydrating gel);
- Ultrasonic peeling procedure using a special device;
- Applying a mask (if necessary) and unobtrusive massage;
- Application of nourishing serum and finishing cream.
At the last stage of cleaning, special masks, lotions, and creams are used that have a protective effect. They close enlarged pores, promote skin restoration and have an anti-inflammatory effect.
