I recently stopped by for\u2014drumroll please\u2014a butt facial.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At my practice, I often see patients who struggle with skin-care problems like clogged pores, breakouts and acne, ingrown hairs, sun damage, and hyperpigmented skin, but not on their faces\u2014on their butts,&#8221; says Evan Goldstein, DO, anal surgeon and founder and CEO of Bespoke Surgical. &#8220;For this delicate part of the body, these issues can be caused by daily friction and chaffing, sweating, exercising, shaving, or waxing\/sugaring. Since we are always looking for ways to address booty-specific concerns, not just on the surgical and medical side, but also on the aesthetic side, we thought a natural addition to our Medspa menu would be to add butt facials.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Before we get into the details, know that the butt facial (unlike many of Bespoke Surgical&#8217;s other treatments) is limited to just the cheeks. My &#8220;bacial&#8221; was performed by licensed esthetician <a href=\"https:\/\/bespokesurgical.com\/staff\/austin-ielpi-le\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/bespokesurgical.com\/staff\/austin-ielpi-le\/\">Austin Ielpi<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a regular facial, but for your butt,&#8221; says Ielpi. &#8220;We&#8217;re double-cleansing, toning, exfoliating, and extracting if you have any extractions that need to come out. We&#8217;re doing some bt-micro fusion with that exfoliation as well, which is an ultrasonic vibration that will help push out any sebum, oil, dirt, and debris in the pores. And then, we&#8217;ll do some serum, some massage, and some high frequency, which will help blood circulation to stimulate collagen and elastin and kill any underlying bacteria from acne. Then we&#8217;ll finish off with a hydrogel mask.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/butt-facial\/\" current-title=\"I Got an 11-Step Butt Facial Designed by an Anal Surgeon, and My Cheeks Have Never Been So Soft and Smooth\" current-image=\"A-woman-with-flowers-in-her-back-pockets-425x285.jpg\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2022-12-13\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/butt-facial\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/butt-facial\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/butt-facial\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Dr. Goldstein says anyone can benefit from this luxurious butt treatment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s easy to forget parts of our body that don&#8217;t see the light of day. However, all the skin on our body can benefit from regular maintenance and skin-care routines,&#8221; says Dr. Goldstein. &#8220;Whether you engage in booty play or enjoy wearing bikini bottoms that accentuate your beautiful booty, your butt deserves to be treated like royalty. For those who experience hormonal butt-ne (acne on their butts) or irritation from exercise or certain clothing, pampering your butt can help rejuvenate the skin, revealing younger, brighter skin and a more even and acne-free surface.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I settled in for the hour-long treatment, laying on my stomach while Ielpi got to work. Although he shared what he was doing and why, I know for damn sure I will <em>never\u00a0<\/em>be able to recreate this experience at home since my butt is, well, behind me. So I relaxed and enjoyed one of the most soothing and thorough body treatments I&#8217;ve ever received.<\/p>\n<h2>What it was like getting a butt facial at Bespoke Surgical<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Double cleanse<\/h3>\n<p>The butt facial starts with a double cleanse using a salicylic acid cleanser. Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid that is great for dissolving the glue that holds dead skin cells to the surface of your skin, melting them away to let fresh and healthy cells shine. &#8220;It&#8217;s well known for exfoliating the skin, reducing acne and inflammation, and keeping your pores clear,&#8221; says Dr. Goldsein. Ielpi adds that most people could benefit from giving their cheeks a bit more attention while cleansing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve come to realize there are some people who don&#8217;t really clean the area as they should be,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Sometimes people work out or wear too-tight clothing and then hang out in sweaty underwear [which can cause breakouts]. I&#8217;ve also realized that some people sit at desks all day, and because they don&#8217;t move, they come in with acne or ingrown hairs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After the cleanse, Ielpi went in with a hot towel.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The hot towel&#8217;s also going to help make sure that your pores and follicles stay open and make sure that we&#8217;re really like cleansing and steaming everything,&#8221; he says. &#8220;I don&#8217;t like to go in with like a steamer all the time. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/skin-care-donts\/#:~:text=1.%20Get%20a%20steam%20facial\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/skin-care-donts\/#:~:text=1.%20Get%20a%20steam%20facial\">It can be a little damaging to the skin<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>2. Toner<\/h3>\n<p>Next came a toner that utilizes salicylic acid and micronized silver. &#8220;Micronized silver has been proven to fight and regulate harmful bacteria and microorganisms on the skin,&#8221; says Dr. Goldstien. &#8220;It has antimicrobial, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties, making it great at fighting acne.&#8221; Ielpi spritzed it all over my cheeks to start, then went in with a cotton pad coated in the toner for concentrated application.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Magnified examination<\/h3>\n<p>Just like in a regular facial, Ielpi whipped out a lit, magnified lens to closely examine my skin. He found two small pimples that I hadn&#8217;t noticed before and let me know that he was going to physically exfoliate my skin before popping them.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Physical exfoliation<\/h3>\n<p>This step includes one of my favorite body products, the <a href=\"https:\/\/futuremethod.com\/products\/body-scrub?aff=4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/futuremethod.com\/products\/body-scrub?aff=4\">Future Method Butt &amp; Body Scrub<\/a> ($35). &#8220;This is formulated by Dr. Goldstein,&#8221; says Ielpi. &#8220;It uses vitamin C, which is good for really making this skin glow. It also has really good antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Plus, it contains chia powder and jojoba beads to polish the skin. &#8220;This really helps push the exfoliation a little bit further and will help push up all of those dead skin cells that are there,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Ultrasonic vibration<\/h3>\n<p>With the butt and body scrub still on, Ielpi went over my cheeks with an ultrasonic vibration tool called BT Micro. &#8220;The BT Micro works by creating high-speed oscillations which help to loosen up sebum, dead skin cells, dirt, and grime within your pores,&#8221; says Dr. Goldstein. &#8220;By combining BT Micro with exfoliation from Future Method&#8217;s Butt and Body Scrub, we can achieve an overall deep exfoliation.&#8221; Once that was done, Ielpi used another hot towel to remove the scrub.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Extraction<\/h3>\n<p>At this point, my skin was prepped and ready for extraction. &#8220;Just with the exfoliation and everything that we&#8217;ve done so far, I can already see the gunk coming out a little bit,&#8221; Ilepi said. He went in with an extraction tool to remove the layer of skin on top of the pimple and ingrown and squeezed them clean. I could feel it, but it didn&#8217;t hurt\u2014much more comfortable than facial extractions.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Serum<\/h3>\n<p>Next, Ilepi applied a high-potency vitamin C serum. &#8220;It&#8217;s going to really help with brightening and treating any acne,&#8221; says Ielpi. &#8220;It&#8217;s also going to help with those little [extraction] spots we just did, ensuring they&#8217;re nice and treated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>8. Oil massage<\/h3>\n<p>Next, Ilepi used the <a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/leafgroup_ca5e0_wellgood?q=https%3A%2F%2Fhowl.me%2FcjUGEns7SSw&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Fbutt-facial%2F&amp;event_type=click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/howl.me\/cjUGEns7SSw\">Fur Oil<\/a> ($52) to gently massage my cheeks. &#8220;The Fur Oil is an amazing product,&#8221; says Ielpi. &#8220;We use it for laser hair removal and sometimes for the butt facial massage portion; it really depends on what&#8217;s going on. I love it because it can benefit anywhere the skin meets the hair, and help keep those areas open and treated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>9. High frequency<\/h3>\n<p>Next, Ilepi used a high-frequency tool that felt a little tingly on my skin. &#8220;It utilizes thermal current to kill acne-causing bacteria and shrink enlarged pores, producing blood circulation and stimulating collagen and elastin,&#8221; says Dr. Goldstein. &#8220;High-frequency devices oxygenate the skin and kill bacteria when they come in contact with the skin. After extractions are performed, the high-frequency device helps stimulate the skin&#8217;s healing process, closing the pores we&#8217;ve opened during the exfoliation and extraction steps of the butt facial.&#8221; Ielpi adds that it allows the vitamin C to penetrate deeper into the skin.<\/p>\n<h3>10. Hydrogel mask<\/h3>\n<p>Then, Ielpi mixed a custom hydrogel mask based on my skin&#8217;s needs. &#8220;We&#8217;re gonna be doing a vitamin C one for brightening, making sure that everything is nice and glowy and feels good for the rest of the week,&#8221; he told me. &#8220;And then the hyaluronic acid mask will lock in the hydration. Hyaluronic acid holds a thousand times its weight in water, so it locks in any moisture, ensuring the skin is nice and hydrated.&#8221; It went on in a pudding consistency, and after about 10 minutes, it dried down like silicone. Ielpi left me in the room to chill while the mask did its thing.<\/p>\n<h3>11. Moisturizer<\/h3>\n<p>To finish it all off, Ielpi peeled off the mask, cleaned up any residual product, and coated my cheeks in a light layer of the <a href=\"https:\/\/futuremethod.com\/products\/butt-body-soothing-cream?aff=4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/futuremethod.com\/products\/butt-body-soothing-cream?aff=4\">Future Method Butt and Body Soothing Cream<\/a> ($35). &#8220;I love this stuff because it&#8217;s not like your typical lotion when you put it on,&#8221; he says. &#8220;It dries down really nice, and it&#8217;s not sticky.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>How my cheeks felt post-facial<\/h2>\n<p>Once I stood up and started to put on my undies, I realized just how soft my ass was. It had never been that soft before, and\u2014unless I return for another butt facial\u2014it will never be that soft again. As Dr. Goldstein puts it,\u00a0&#8220;We&#8217;re taking the phrase &#8216;smooth as a baby&#8217;s bottom&#8217; to a whole new level,&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimers__after_content mb-[18px] mt-[16px] pt-[16px]\">\n<div class=\"outline-earmark relative mt-[8px] pt-[10px] pl-[20px]\">\n<p>\n            Our editors independently select these products.
