August 10, 2025Clear Skin, Clear Confidence: How Our Back Acne Clinic in Cheltenham Helps You Feel Your Best
When it comes to acne, most people think of the face—but what about the often-overlooked, hard-to-reach, and incredibly stubborn back acne? At Armitage Skin, we understand that back acne (or “bacne”) can be just as distressing—if not more—than breakouts on the face. That’s why we’ve designed a specialised Back Acne Clinic in Cheltenham dedicated solely to treating this concern with precision, care, and science-backed solutions.
In this blog, we want to take you inside our unique approach to treating back acne and explain how we help our clients clear their skin and regain confidence—one treatment at a time.
Why Back Acne Needs Its Own Clinic
Back acne is not simply facial acne on a different part of the body. It behaves differently, responds differently to treatments, and is often aggravated by completely separate triggers. Sweat, friction from clothing or sports gear, hormones, and even body care products can all play a role in persistent breakouts across the shoulders, back, and upper arms.
At Armitage Skin, we realised early on that a generalised approach wasn’t working. That’s why we created a dedicated Back Acne Clinic in Cheltenham, designed to specifically tackle the causes, complications, and psychological impact of bacne.
Our Cheltenham Back Acne Clinic: What Makes It Different?
1. Specialised Skin Assessment for the Body
We don’t just look at your skin—we study it. Our back acne clients receive a tailored skin analysis, using advanced diagnostic tools to identify clogged pores, inflammation, scarring, and even patterns of irritation caused by lifestyle factors. The skin on your back is thicker, has larger pores, and produces more sebum than facial skin—so we treat it accordingly.
2. A Treatment Plan as Individual as You Are
No two cases of back acne are the same, so why should treatment be? Whether you’re dealing with deep cystic acne, post-acne pigmentation, or inflamed pustules, we create a custom treatment roadmap for your skin goals.
This may include:
• Back peels using salicylic, lactic, or mandelic acid
• LED light therapy to reduce inflammation and kill acne-causing bacteria
• Microdermabrasion or hydradermabrasion to exfoliate and decongest pores
• Topical prescriptions or cosmeceutical regimens
• Lifestyle and nutrition advice to support internal balance
3. Privacy and Comfort at Every Step
We know that baring your back—especially when you’re self-conscious—can be a vulnerable experience. That’s why our clinic design, consultation process, and practitioner training are all built around comfort, discretion, and professionalism. You’ll never feel rushed or judged—only supported.
Real Results from Real Clients
One of our Cheltenham clients, Alex (22), came to us after trying everything from over-the-counter washes to harsh oral medications with no lasting results. After three months of personalised treatment at our Back Acne Clinic, he not only saw dramatic improvement in his skin but felt comfortable enough to go shirtless at the beach for the first time in years.
“We don’t just clear skin,” says our lead skin therapist. “We restore confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of freedom. That’s what makes our work so powerful.”
Prevention is Just as Important as Treatment
Once your back acne is under control, we shift our focus to maintenance and prevention. Our team guides you through back-friendly skincare, hygiene routines (especially if you work out regularly), and seasonal adjustments so your results are long-lasting.
We also stock a curated range of body-care products that are non-comedogenic, fragrance-free, and clinically proven to prevent clogged pores without stripping your skin barrier.
