The sun. The sand. The sangritas on the deck. Life in Florida can be oh-so-good. But it can also be oh-so-hard on your skin.
Sun exposure, humidity, and other environmental factors can age skin more rapidly here. Our facials in Avon Park help women (and men!) address the aging effects of life in the Highlands. They can also help clear up concerns caused by other factors outside of environmental impacts.
Call Florida Lakes Spa at 863.777.7774, or book a consultation. Let’s talk about your concerns and create a custom facial that makes you look and feel great.
What are facials?
In Avon Park, Sebring, and our surrounding communities, a true “facial” involves at least 3 benefits:
1. Cleansing & Exfoliation
Our professional facial begins with expert cleansing and exfoliation tailored to your unique skin type. Your facialist at Florida Lakes Spa will help identify your skin’s needs and concerns, selecting the right techniques to gently but deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and prepare your skin for the rest of your facial.
During this first step, we will:
Clear clogged pores
Promote cellular renewal
Optimize skin for maximum absorption of nourishing treatments
2. Pore Extractions
Extractions are a key part of maintaining clear, healthy skin. During your facial, we skillfully and gently remove blackheads, whiteheads, and impurities from congested pores. This process not only prevents future breakouts but also refines your skin’s texture, leaving you with a smooth, refreshed, and radiant complexion.
3. Beneficial Infusions
When your pores are clear, and the old, dead layer of skin has been removed, it’s time to revitalize your skin.
We create customized serums to target your specific concerns, based on factors such as skin tone, texture, and your personal lifestyle. As we apply these infusions, they soak in more deeply than home skin care products, enhancing your facial results.
Infusion options can include:
- Anti-Aging: Collagen-boosting peptides to smooth wrinkles
- Hydration: Hyaluronic acid for supple, hydrated skin
- Brightening: Gentle acids to even out pigmentation
- Acne: Salicylic and lactic acid to reduce acne and minimize pores
Why should I have facials?
Our clients enjoy regular facials to:
- Cleanse their skin
- Remove impurities
- Reduce oil buildup
- Expunge dead skin cells
If left unaddressed, these issues can make your skin look ashy, oily, dry, and even clog your pores. That can lead to pimples, acne, and other problems. Having your facial at Florida Lakes Spa promotes a clearer complexion and reduces the likelihood of breakouts.
Sun Damage Solution
Facials also help combat sun-related damage, such as:
- Hyperpigmentation
- Dehydration
- Uneven skin tone
- Redness
All of these issues are prevalent in sunny regions. We enhance your skin texture and tone while restoring a youthful, radiant glow by incorporating antioxidants, hydration, and exfoliation in your facial.
Relaxing Self-Care
Facials offer a chance to relax and rejuvenate, reducing stress that can contribute to premature aging.
By customizing facials to individual skin types and concerns, women (and men!) in Sebring can maintain a polished, healthy appearance while proactively protecting their skin from environmental challenges.
Our Facials
Many of our clients enjoy a scheduled facial once or twice a month, depending on their needs and the type of facial. Since the results typically last between 4 to 8 weeks, we recommend getting a facial at least once a month.
At Florida Lakes Spa, our choices for facials in Avon Park include the following.
Spa Facials and Extractions
Our spa facials and extractions generally take 30 minutes to complete. They deliver the 3 benefits of a true facial, plus you can request add-ons to personalize it to your preferences and goals. Depending on the additional services you add, those may extend your appointment time.
Your Florida Lakes Spa facialist will discuss what you want to accomplish during your personal consultation to customize your facial for your skin type and goals.

DiamondGlow
One of our client-favorite facials, the DiamondGlow facial provides a 3-step, non-invasive, advanced skin resurfacing treatment. We deeply exfoliate, extract, and infuse the skin with professional-grade serums—all in a single session.
A DiamondGlow facial improves skin tone, texture, and hydration, leaving your face looking refreshed and radiant.
How a DiamondGlow Facial Works
Once you’ve decided on the serums you want, your facialist starts by using a diamond-tipped wand to soothingly exfoliate dead skin cells. The Vortex technology built into the DiamondGlow wand uses gentle suction to remove the exfoliated cells, extract impurities, and clear your pores.
At the same time, a specialized serum infuses your skin to hydrate, brighten, calm inflammation, and more. Florida Lakes Spa will customize the treatment to deliver immediate and long-lasting results.
What DiamondGlow Treats
- Uneven skin texture
- Loose skin
- Dryness
- Hyperpigmentation
- Acne scars
- Age spots

- Fine lines and wrinkles

Chemical Peels
As one of our facials in Avon Park, chemical peels exfoliate more deeply with a chemical solution applied to the skin, rather than through abrasive techniques.
With a chemical peel, your facialist will first cleanse your skin and blot it dry. Next, they’ll apply a custom chemical solution chosen to achieve a specific depth of exfoliation:
- Light: Requires more frequent use, with results lasting 1 to 3 months when properly maintained and supported.
- Medium: Results typically last 3 to 6 months with proper care and upkeep.
- Heavy: Provides longer-lasting effects, typically 6 to 12 months, when supported with consistent maintenance.
This chemical solution remains on your face for a specific time to interact with your skin cells to the desired depth. Once the solution has sat long enough, your provider wipes away the excess. Your skin will continue to peel away dead cells over the next few days.
You may experience some tingling and discomfort with a light or medium peel. Because deep peels are much more intensive, we administer an anesthetic and a sedative before beginning treatment.
Depending on the peeling power of your facial, you may want to take several days of downtime, or at least social downtime, to let the peeling finish and allow your skin to heal.
What a Chemical Peel Treats
- Uneven skin tone or texture
- Acne scars
- Dull or dry skin
- Sun spots
- Hyperpigmentation
- Fine lines and wrinkles
Chemical Peel Details
- Number of Treatments: Varies
- Appointment Length: 1 hour
- Downtime: 7 to 10 days

Facial Additions
You can add a number of “extras” to these facials in Avon Park to truly make your service right for you.
Dermaplaning
With our hot and humid weather, Floridians can “sheen” more than in other climates. That extra sweat and oil can cause skin to accumulate an elevated amount of debris, dead skin, and environmental pollutants.
Removing these pore-clogging materials often takes medical-grade exfoliation. However, dermaplaning at Florida Lakes Spa gently but expertly removes this excess, leaving your skin looking and feeling refreshed. It also removes vellus hairs—known as “peach fuzz”—to make your skin even smoother.
During your dermaplaning treatment, your Florida Lakes Spa provider will use a disposable surgical blade to gently scrape off the outermost layer of the skin and the vellus hairs. This uncovers a glowing new layer of skin with improved tone and texture.
Many clients use dermaplaning to prepare for their facials in Avon Park, because it allows for deeper penetration of beneficial serums.
Microcurrent and Light Therapy
After having a facial, a number of our clients like to have a NuFace Trinity treatment. We do this advanced red-light treatment in-office, using different hand-held attachments to deliver healing red light energy. At the same time, we administer electric microcurrents that tone facial muscles for improved skin support.
The gentle, low-level electrical currents mimic the body’s natural currents, stimulating facial muscles and promoting collagen and elastin production. NuFace Trinity treatments can result in firmer, smoother skin and a youthful glow. It’s particularly effective for areas prone to sagging, such as the jawline, cheekbones, and forehead.
When you pair NuFace Trinity with facials in Avon Park, it adds face sculpting and neck-tightening to improvements you see with your facial. This microcurrent treatment can:
Lift the face
Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
Improve lymphatic drainage
Medical-Grade Skincare Products
When it’s time to go home and enjoy your gorgeous skin, your Florida Lakes Spa team will recommend medical-grade skincare products for your unique skin type used during the facial, so you can support your at-home self-care regimen.
If you prefer to use your own products, we’ll most likely recommend a highly hydrating cream that contains hyaluronic acid and a Vitamin C serum to brighten skin.
For those who chose a DiamondGlow facial, we’ll suggest HA5 serum from SkinMedica. After a chemical peel, you’ll receive aftercare products as part of the service.
Other Personalized Add-Ons
You can add any (or even all) of the following:
- Heated towel wrap
- Special pore opening wrap
- Cold stone rolling/massage
- Aromatherapy
- Gua Sha
- And more
During your consultation, we’ll make sure you have the opportunity to customize your experience, so that your choice of facials in Avon Park is exactly right just for you.
