What to Expect: Back Facial

Your back needs more than a massage. Try a back facial.

Massage Envy’s 60-minute, full back facial addresses the concerns of combination skin, clogged pores, and minor discoloration. A highly qualified esthetician will guide you through the entire process so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy your session.

MEET & GREET

When you arrive, you’ll fill out your personalized skin care form to indicate skin care needs, goals, and your history of previous sessions. This step is important, so it’s best to arrive 15 minutes early to give yourself enough time to focus on you. 

LET’S GET TO KNOW YOU

You’ll meet with your esthetician to discuss your personalized skin care form and address concerns like combination skin or clogged pores. To experience the full benefits of a back facial, you’ll want to disrobe from the waist up. Your esthetician will step out of the room as you undress and lie on the table underneath the sheet and blanket.

REVIEW YOUR OPTIONS

While you are relaxed on the table and tucked into covers, your esthetician will review the steps of your back facial using the Obagi® product line.

BACK FACIAL BENEFITS FROM OUR SESSIONS

A 60-minute session will begin with a gentle steam and full cleanse of the back, followed by a skin analysis, customized exfoliation mask, and extractions (if needed). Your session will conclude with a customized treatment mask and a finishing treatment to lock in results.

Steam/cleanse

Cleansing with steam helps to soften and prep the skin for the rest of the back facial. It also removes oil, dirt, and debris from the surface of the skin.

Esthetician skin analysis

Your esthetician will analyze your skin to determine skin type, skin conditions, review concerns, and suggest the best plan for your back facial.

Customized exfoliation mask

Each back facial provides different levels of exfoliation depending on what your skin needs. Exfoliation plays a key part in helping skin stay healthy and achieve a soft feel.

Extractions

Extractions are included with every back facial if necessary and can help clear clogged or impacted pores.

Customized treatment mask

The treatment mask helps to address a variety of skin concerns and can help the skin appear more soothed, brighter, and balanced.

Finishing treatment

This includes applying a treatment serum and moisturizer to keep your skin feeling protected when you leave.


WRAPPING UP YOUR BACK FACIAL SESSION EXPERIENCE 

After your back facial is complete, your esthetician will wait outside while you gather your belongings. Once you’re all set, you can chat about home care product options to help prolong the effects of your back facial.

When it comes to your comfort, we got you

A back facial is an overall relaxing experience. However, there may be occasional, minor discomfort associated with the pore extraction step. Always maintain open lines of communication with your esthetician if you’re feeling any discomfort.
