Treatment Explained
Back facial London
A back facial is a relaxing treatment that targets an often-neglected part of the body: the back.
This comforting treatment has many benefits, not least that the massage releases endorphins and eases muscle tension.
Our backs deserve care and attention, so we have developed the back facial to cleanse, exfoliate, purify, and moisturise the overlooked skin on our backs.
This hard-to-reach area is prone to breakouts, blackheads and dry skin, therefore each step in our back facial treatment is designed to target these issues. Is it time to show your back some love?
We offer back facials in Harley Street and Colindale, London. You’ll have your treatment at one of our luxurious, award-winning aesthetic clinics, led by Dr Kaywaan Khan.

Back facial benefits
The steps in our back facial are similar to a traditional facial, but with an emphasis on massage to release tension in this area of the body where our stress is often held.
-
Cleanse
The first part of our back facial involves an initial comforting cleanse of the skin, using hot mitts, oil and foam cleansers.
-
Massage and mask
During this step, our aesthetician will massage a clay salicylic acid mask into the skin. This step removes excess oils, exfoliates and resurfaces the skin.
-
Purify and hydrate
Our aesthetician will then use Hydrafacial suction, to further remove impurities and deeply hydrate the skin.
-
Calm
Where needed, we complete targeted manual extraction of further impurities. We then apply calming skin creams and serums to help remove any dark marks.

Amara Patel
Before getting a back facial at Hannah London, I felt so insecure about the little bumps and spots on my back. I tried scrubs and at-home treatments, but nothing worked. After just ONE session, I noticed a big difference. My skin felt smoother, the redness had calmed down, and it just looked so much healthier. By the end of my course of treatments, my back was completely transformed — clear, even, and glowing. I finally feel confident enough to wear open-back dresses and tops without a second thought. The team was so professional and attentive, explaining everything they were doing step-by-step. If you’re on the fence, just book it. You won’t regret it!

Before coming to Hannah London, I didn't think a back facial was something I needed — until I saw my wedding dress fitting photos. I had stubborn spots and uneven skin that no amount of exfoliation could fix. I booked a course of back facials in preparation for my wedding, and I am so glad I did. The difference is unreal. After just one session, my back was smoother and clearer, and by the end of the course, it looked absolutely flawless. The photos from my wedding day say it all! No more hiding behind my hair or worrying about my back. The team is so knowledgeable and made me feel super comfortable. Highly recommend it for anyone preparing for a big event!

Before I tried the back facial at Hannah London, I honestly didn’t think my back could be “glowing” — but here I am! I used to have stubborn spots from sweat and irritation, especially after working out, and nothing I tried at home worked. After my first session, I could already see a difference — my back was smoother, and the congestion was gone. By the end of the treatment plan, my back looked brand new — clear, soft, and ready for summer holidays. I’m officially hooked! I never knew this kind of treatment existed, but now I’ll never go without it. Big thank you to the team at Hannah London for making me feel so looked after!
The science behind
back facial treatment
The back is difficult to reach effectively by ourselves and it is also an area of the body where we can hold a lot of muscle tension. As a result, the skin on our backs can be prone to blocked pores, blackheads and breakouts.
Our back facial has been designed to combine products and devices to effectively cleanse, exfoliate, massage and hydrate the skin on the back and shoulders, which can bring wide-reaching benefits.
The treatment opens pores and increases blood flow to the skin for the efficient extraction of impurities, and heightened absorption of hydrating products.
The act of massaging the back and shoulders releases endorphins. These ‘feel-good’ chemicals are produced in the brain’s pituitary gland and hypothalamus and are released during pleasurable experiences such as massage. Muscle tension is also released through massage.

-
Who is the ideal candidate for a back facial?
A back facial is perfect for patients who want a relaxing treatment that has the additional benefits of blackhead removal, along with skin rejuvenation and hydration. This treatment achieves an improved complexion, giving you confidence to wear backless or strapless clothing.
-
How should I prepare for a back facial?
Patients are encouraged to shower before the facial to encourage pores to open. You should avoid shaving immediately before the treatment to ensure your skin isn’t too sensitive.
-
What aftercare is required?
After the treatment, it is important to keep the skin hydrated and to maintain regular exfoliation. After a facial, the skin is more sensitive, therefore patients should avoid sunbathing, saunas and any form of hair removal until at least 24 to 48 hours after treatment.
-
How often should I have a back facial?
Treatments are recommended every four to eight weeks, but can be carried out as soon as two weeks after the previous treatment if required.
-
Are there any side effects?
The back facial is an extremely gentle treatment with no serious side effects. Some patients may experience some redness or sensitivity directly after the treatment, however this fades after a short time.
-
Do back facials hurt?
Back facials are generally a comforting and pain free experience. However, some patients may feel slight discomfort during extraction of impurities, which quickly passes.
-
