WHAT IS A BACKLESS DRESS CLEANSE FACIAL?

You may have treated your face to a facial before—but how about your back? Back facials can be beneficial in cleansing those tough-to-reach spots, targeting a variety of skin care needs such as clogged pores, back acne, dehydrated skin, and even scars. This treatment mimics many of the traditional techniques used while performing treatments for the face, and incorporates deep cleansing, extractions, and purifying masks.

Wearing a backless dress means showing off your skin with confidence. But what if your back is dealing with acne, clogged pores, or uneven texture? At WellMedica in Reston VA, the innovative Backless Dress Facial is the perfect solution. Spearheaded by renowned cosmetic physician Dr. Dima, this treatment helps rejuvenate the skin on your back so it’s as glowing and smooth as your face.

Back facials are an increasingly popular skincare service—especially for those preparing for events, vacations, or any moment where your back takes center stage.

What is a Backless Dress Facial?

A Backless Dress Facial is a customized back treatment that mimics traditional facial techniques. It's designed to cleanse, exfoliate, and heal the skin on your back, which is often difficult to treat effectively at home. This therapy involves:

  • Deep cleansing to remove sweat, oil, and impurities.

  • Exfoliation to slough off dead skin cells and promote new cell growth.

  • Extractions to unclog pores and clear back acne.

  • Hydrating or purifying masks, depending on your skin’s unique needs.

  • Soothing serums to calm inflammation and nourish the skin.

This multi-step process delivers smoother, clearer skin—perfect for any occasion where your back will be on display.

Why Get a Backless Dress Facial?

The back is an area often neglected in regular skincare routines. Yet, it’s just as susceptible to acne, irritation, and dryness. Here’s why you should consider scheduling a Backless Dress Facial at WellMedica in Reston VA:

1. Treat Back Acne and Scarring

Back acne (also known as "bacne") can be painful and persistent. The Backless Dress Facial includes exfoliation and extractions to clear out bacteria and debris, helping prevent new breakouts while treating existing blemishes and fading scars.

2. Address Dry or Dehydrated Skin

Dry patches or flaky skin on the back can be uncomfortable and unsightly. This treatment deeply hydrates the skin, restoring a healthy moisture balance and smooth texture.

3. Boost Confidence for Special Occasions

Whether you're planning to wear a backless dress to a wedding, gala, or tropical getaway, a Backless Dress Facial ensures your skin looks flawless and event-ready.

4. Detoxify and Unclog Pores

Sweat glands on the back are prone to clogging, especially if you’re active or live in a humid environment. The detoxifying properties of this treatment keep the pores clear and healthy.

What to Expect During Your Appointment at WellMedica

Located in the heart of Reston VA, WellMedica offers a tranquil, medical-grade environment where patient safety and comfort come first. When you arrive for your Backless Dress Facial, here’s what you can expect:

  • Consultation: Dr. Dima or a licensed esthetician will evaluate your skin concerns and customize the treatment plan.

  • Cleanse: A gentle yet effective cleanser prepares your skin by removing surface impurities.

  • Exfoliation: Either a manual or chemical exfoliant is applied to lift away dead skin cells.

  • Extractions: If needed, congested pores are cleared using professional tools to minimize inflammation and prevent scarring.

  • Mask: A treatment mask tailored to your skin type (hydrating, purifying, or soothing) is applied.

  • Finishing Products: A light serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen are used to complete the facial.

The entire experience lasts about 45–60 minutes and is both relaxing and results-driven.

  • Frequent back breakouts

How Often Should You Get a Backless Dress Facial?

While a one-time treatment is beneficial, regular facials can maintain your results and keep your skin healthy year-round. For most patients, it’s recommended to schedule a Backless Dress Facial:

  • Once every 4–6 weeks for acne-prone skin

  • Seasonally for maintenance and exfoliation

  • 1–2 weeks before a major event for optimal glow

Enhancing Results with At-Home Skincare

To extend the benefits of your treatment, your skincare provider at WellMedica may suggest medical-grade products to use at home. Ingredients like salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and niacinamide can help maintain clear, radiant back skin between facials.

You’ll also receive post-treatment tips, such as:

  • Avoiding heavy lotions that clog pores

  • Showering after workouts

  • Wearing breathable, clean clothing

  • Staying consistent with sun protection

A backless dress facial (back facial) is good even if you do not suffer from back acne, as it will exfoliate the dead skin and moisturize both men and women in areas they cannot reach. Some additional backless dress facial benefits include:

  • Getting rid of back acne - It is a cleansing treatment for the back that can help clear out clogged pores through exfoliation, toning, and by providing nourishment. The second step removes impurities and imperfections from beneath the skin’s surface. Then, a mask is applied. The final step involves moisturizing the back to hydrate with a light massage.
  • Ease tension in back muscles - Like other facials, having a back facial is relaxing. You will notice that your back muscles, and areas like your neck, shoulders, and the midsection of your back, will benefit from the treatment’s massaging motions.
  • Softens and hydrates the skin on your back - With the added skin care products and oils during your facial treatment, you will immediately notice well-moisturized and softer skin.

 

At WellMedica, we recommend back facials once every 2 - 3 months in order to keep one’s skin healthy but, again, it does depend on the person’s skin type and skin routine prior to treatments. Each treatment might take an average of an hour.

The cost of a backless dress cleanse facial starts at $250 per session. There are a variety of factors that determine the overall price. To ensure that your backless dress cleanse facials are affordable, we accept a variety of payment methods including special financing plans.

There isn’t too much you need to do to prepare for a backless dress cleanse facial but there are a few things to note.

  • Stop using exfoliating skin care products a day or two before your facial to reduce sensitivity.
  • Avoid tanning prior to your facial appointment.
  • Do not wax your back hair at least 72 hours before the scheduled appointment.
  • Ensure that your skin is hydrated and moisturized on the day of your appointment. Drink plenty of water in the days leading to your treatment.

Back facials are particularly fitting treatments during bathing suit season or for people who wear low-back attire. Throughout the treatment, we use different lotions and gels that are applied to the skin, often followed by a nice hot towel rub. One is also massaged throughout the back, especially in places they are tense, in order to make it a healing experience. It feels like a super deluxe massage.

The whole backless dress cleanse takes place for about 30 minutes but can last longer depending on one’s needs. Our backless dress cleanse for scars mimics many of the traditional techniques used while performing treatments for the face and incorporates deep cleansing, extractions, and purifying masks. One may experience redness or irritation after the treatment, which usually comes with any facials. However, this should go away within a few days or less. Remember that results are cumulative. The more consistent you are with getting facials, the better your back skin will look and feel.

I travel over an hour to go to WellMedica. I have always had a great experience with Dr. Dima and all of the staff. Everyone is friendly and very accommodating. The backless dress facial was WONDERFUL- highly recommended!
