Back Facial in Scottsdale, AZ 85260
The Back Your Clothes Have Been Hiding
Back skin collects sweat, sunscreen, and product buildup more than almost anywhere else — and in Scottsdale’s extreme heat, that buildup accelerates fast. A professional back facial at Desert Bloom targets what home skincare cannot reach: deep cleansing, extractions, and a customized mask tailored to your skin. Each 60-minute session is $105, performed by Sadie Luna Kearns, our Licensed Aesthetician.
Back facial is one of several facial treatments at Desert Bloom, alongside the Custom Chemical Peel, HydraFacial, and Detox Acne Treatment.

What Is a Back Facial?
A back facial — sometimes called a “bacial” — is a professional skincare treatment that brings the same targeted care used in a traditional facial to an often neglected area: your back. The session includes thorough cleansing, exfoliation to remove dead skin cells, steam to soften clogged pores, careful extractions, a treatment mask, and moisturizer. Sadie tailors each step based on an in-person skin analysis and consultation — adjusting products, mask type, and extraction technique to your specific back skin concerns and treatment goals.
Back skin has more oil glands than most areas of the body, yet it is nearly impossible to care for on your own. Hair products, sweat, dirt, and sunscreen residue settle along the shoulders and mid-back, leading to blackheads, acne breakouts, and uneven texture. A back facial offers a professional reset.
Benefits of a Back Facial
A targeted back facial treatment can help your back look and feel clearer, smoother, and less congested:
- Unclog pores: removes blackheads, dead skin cells, and trapped buildup for clearer-looking skin
- Reduce visible congestion: deep cleansing and careful extractions help clear clogged pores and buildup that can contribute to bacne
- Smoother-feeling skin texture: exfoliation helps soften rough patches and the visible bumpiness often associated with keratosis pilaris
- Healthier-looking skin: a customized mask helps restore hydration and leave the back looking clearer and refreshed
- Stress relief and relaxation: the session includes a relaxing massage that supports well-being and self-care
- Calm visible irritation: gentle extractions and a soothing mask help calm the look of inflammation from congested pores
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for a back facial if you experience:
- Back acne or recurring bacne breakouts
- Clogged pores or blackheads on your back
- Oily skin that leads to congestion
- Rough, bumpy skin texture (keratosis pilaris)
- Dryness from desert heat and low humidity
- Preparing for an event with open back clothing
• Active sunburn on the back
• Open wounds, sores, or skin lesions
• Severe cystic acne (inflamed cysts should not be extracted)
• Currently taking or recently finished isotretinoin (Accutane) within the past 6 months
• Active moderate-to-severe eczema or psoriasis flare on the treatment area
If you are unsure whether a back facial is right for you, Sadie will assess your skin at the beginning of your appointment and recommend the best approach for your skin care needs.
How a Back Facial Treatment Works
Your 60-minute back facial session follows a step-by-step protocol customized to your treatment goals:
Sadie evaluates your back skin, identifies concerns, and tailors the session.
A professional cleanser removes sweat, sebum, sunscreen, and product buildup to deeply cleanse the surface.
Warm steam softens the skin and prepares clogged pores for extractions.
Chemical or physical exfoliation lifts dead skin cells, helping to unclog pores and smooth skin texture.
Gentle, precise extractions to remove impurities and blackheads from congested areas.
A nourishing mask or hydrating mask is applied based on your skin type — clay for oily skin, hydrating for dryness.
A calming massage followed by a lightweight moisturizer to hydrate and protect.
After your session, mild redness is normal for 2–4 hours. Wear loose clothing after your appointment to avoid irritation. For ongoing skin health, we recommend a back facial every 4–6 weeks — aligning with your skin’s natural cell renewal cycle. View Before & After Gallery results from our skincare treatments.
