Party peels

The most popular treatment is party or super peels that do not cause any peeling but infuse a boost of radiance similar to a bridal peel. This makes the back look flawless and glowing.

Microdermabrasion/skin polishing

If a smooth, flawless back is what you want, opt for this treatment. A mild peel like lactic or glycolic is used to exfoliate dead skin cells and give an instant glow. Opt for a microdermabrasion with or without a mild glycolic peel for a glowing back this Navratri.

Chemical peels

For removing pigmentation, spots or tanning, a series of TCA peels are used. TCA peels penetrate little deeper into the skin and cause more peeling of skin. A milder peel only penetrates the superficial layers hence causes little flaking. This kind of peel needs to be repeated every 2 weeks for 6-8 times to see results. If you have warts on the back, they can be cauterised by a dermatologist.

Lasers

Scars on the back are lightened with the help of fractional laser or C02 laser while laser hair removal is best suited for unwanted hair on the back. Also read: Peel off years from your face with laser skin resurfacing

Home care tip

If you can t find the time to go to a skin clinic, you can use a body scrub to help exfoliate the dead skin cells and then moisturise the skin. This will make your back smoother and add some shine to it. Lemon juice is a natural bleaching agent. Rubbing half of a lemon on your back and then using a mild scrub to exfoliate it will remove tanning and lighten the skin colour. And don t forget to apply sunscreen on your back when you step out during the day. Also read: Exercises for a sculpted back
