Advanced Facial Therapies
Advanced massage-based facial therapies designed to support skin function and recovery.
Sunshine City Massage and Spa is St. Petersburg’s premier destination for advanced massage-based facial therapy. These are all natural treatments offered as specialized, massage-based support alongside your holistic spa facial program.
These sessions are designed for guests who need targeted help with facial swelling, inflammation, congestion, tissue restriction, and post-procedure recovery, or for clients whose skin requires a gentler, therapeutic approach before returning to corrective or exfoliating facials.
All advanced facial therapies at Sunshine City Massage and Spa are performed using hands-only massage manipulation techniques.
This is not a replacement for your facial program.
It is precision support when your skin needs more.
Quietly. Intelligently. Cumulatively.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage Facial Therapy
MLD Facial
The MLD Facial is a highly specialized, gentle massage-based facial treatment focused on improving lymphatic circulation and fluid movement in the face and neck.
This therapy is designed to:
reduce visible facial swelling and puffiness
improve drainage of stagnant fluid
calm inflammatory skin behavior
support tissue oxygenation and circulation
improve comfort and recovery after procedures
This treatment is especially effective when your primary concerns include:
persistent puffiness
fluid retention
heaviness or facial congestion
post-procedure swelling
inflammatory skin patterns
Clients often notice brighter tone and a visible “glow” after treatment.
That effect comes from reduced congestion and improved circulation, not surface stimulation.
