Nu Image Medspa provides custom, medical-grade facials in Lutz, FL, at 3939 Cheval Blvd (just off N Dale Mabry Hwy near Cheval, Steinbrenner High School and Gaither High School).

Most facials run about $95–$175, take 45–75 minutes, have little to no downtime, and work best every 4–6 weeks. Serving Lutz, Cheval, Carrollwood, Northdale, Odessa and Land O’ Lakes.

Most facial menus are written for skin that gets a break. Lutz skin doesn’t get one. The same conditions that make this a great place to live — the open sun, the long warm season, the lakes and the Gulf a short drive away — also keep your skin under a steady, year-round load. A good facial in Lutz, FL is built around that load rather than ignoring it, which is what separates a results-driven treatment from a pleasant hour that fades by the weekend.
Start with the sun. Daily UV here drives the issues we treat most: sun spots, melasma, blotchy tone and the dullness of built-up dead skin. Pigment is the number-one facial concern we see, and it responds far better to consistent professional exfoliation and brightening than to anything in a drugstore aisle. Then add the humidity. Heat and sweat, layered over the sunscreen you reapply all day, mean pores clog faster — so congestion, blackheads and breakouts show up even on skin that was clear up north.
It sounds backward in a humid climate, but Lutz skin is often dehydrated. Pool chlorine, lake and Gulf water, and the constant indoor-to-outdoor swing between hard sun and cold AC all strip the skin barrier — so it can feel tight and look dull while still breaking out. A facial here has to rebalance: clear the congestion the heat creates and rebuild the hydration the chlorine and AC pull out, in the same visit.
There’s no winter to hide under and no slow month for your skin. Boating, golf, the school-pickup line near Steinbrenner and Gaither, weekends on the water — your face is on display and exposed twelve months a year. That’s the real argument for a regular facial rhythm rather than a one-off: every 4–6 weeks keeps pores clear, keeps pigment from setting in, and keeps the barrier strong against the next round of sun and heat. And because there’s little to no downtime, you can book a Tuesday evening and be back to normal the next morning.
Every facial starts with a skin analysis, then targets the concerns that matter most for your skin:
| Best for | Acne & congestion, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, dehydration, dullness, early aging, back & body |
|---|---|
| How it works | Skin analysis, then cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, mask & massage; optional dermaplaning, peel or LED |
| Session length | About 45–75 minutes, depending on the facial and add-ons |
| Typical cost (Lutz) | About $95–$175 · add-ons priced separately · see monthly specials |
| Downtime | Little to none — possible brief redness from extractions; daily SPF advised |
| How often | Every 4–6 weeks for best, lasting results |
| Performed by | Michelle Napoli, lead medical aesthetician (15+ yrs), with Ava Moore & Emily Patrick · medically supervised by Susan Wallace, MSN, ANP-BC |

Every facial is tailored at your visit — these are the starting points your esthetician customizes from:
Our core treatment, fully personalized after a skin analysis — cleanse, exfoliate, extract, mask and massage, with medical-grade products chosen for your skin that day.
All skin types
Deep-cleansing and detoxifying for breakout-prone skin — targeted extractions, congestion control and calming care for the acne our heat and humidity feed.
Acne & oily skin
Built for Florida skin: professional exfoliation and brightening actives to fade sun spots, melasma and uneven tone for a clearer, more even complexion.
Sun damage & pigment
Rebuilds skin dried out by chlorine, sun and AC — deeply hydrating, soothing and barrier-strengthening for tight, dull or sensitive skin.
Dehydrated & dull skin
Smooths early fine lines and restores glow with resurfacing, firming and circulation-boosting techniques for a rested, lifted look.
Early aging
Boost any facial with dermaplaning, a chemical peel, microdermabrasion or LED — or step up to a vampire facial or AquaGold®.
Not sure which facial fits your skin? A quick consultation and skin analysis maps it out — with pricing confirmed up front.
Almost everyone benefits from a medical-grade facial in Lutz, FL — whether you want a maintenance reset, a pre-event glow or real progress on acne, pigment, dehydration or early aging. The difference is the plan: because every facial here starts with a skin read by Michelle and the team, the actives and intensity are matched to your skin rather than a fixed menu.
Not sure which facial fits your skin? A quick skin assessment maps it out — the right facial, the right actives and any treatments worth pairing it with.
A relaxation-spa facial feels lovely and fades fast. A medical-grade facial — performed under medical supervision, with stronger actives mapped to your skin — gives you the same calm hour and visible change, and it plugs into peels, microneedling and injectables for a real plan.
| Standard Spa Facial | Nu Image Medical-Grade | |
|---|---|---|
| Setting | Relaxation salon/spa | Physician-supervised medspa |
| Products | Cosmetic-grade | Medical-grade, higher actives |
| Provider | Esthetician | Esthetician, medically supervised |
| Custom plan | Menu-based | Mapped to your skin & history |
| Pairs with peels, tox & needling | Limited vs. fully integrated under one roof | |
| Downtime | Little to none | |
Anyone can hand you a relaxing hour. Reading skin is the hard part — knowing how much to exfoliate sun-thinned skin, when extractions help acne and when they’ll inflame it, which active will fade a Florida sun spot and which will trigger more pigment on the way down. That judgment is clinical, not cosmetic, and it’s why your facial is performed by experienced, certified hands inside a medically supervised practice — not a menu-based add-on.

A custom medical-grade facial at Nu Image typically runs about $95–$175, depending on the facial you choose and any add-ons such as dermaplaning, a chemical peel or LED therapy. Your exact plan and price are confirmed at your complimentary skin consultation, and we run new facial specials every month.
A facial deep-cleanses, exfoliates, extracts congestion and nourishes the skin to improve tone, texture and clarity. Our custom facials address acne and clogged pores, sun damage and age spots, hyperpigmentation and uneven tone, dehydration and dullness, sensitivity and redness, and early fine lines — while boosting circulation and helping your at-home products work better.
Most clients benefit from a facial about every 4–6 weeks, which mirrors the skin’s natural renewal cycle. In Lutz, where year-round sun, humidity and daily sunscreen keep skin under constant load, a consistent monthly facial keeps pores clear, pigment in check and the skin barrier healthy. Your esthetician will recommend the right interval for you.
A standard spa facial focuses on relaxation with cosmetic-grade products. A medical-grade facial at Nu Image is performed by a licensed medical esthetician under medical supervision, using higher-strength products and modalities mapped to your skin. You get the relaxation of a spa facial plus visible, results-driven change — and it integrates with peels, microneedling and injectables for a complete plan.
That’s exactly what your complimentary consultation answers. Acne and congestion point to a clarifying facial; sun spots and uneven tone point to a brightening facial; tight, dull skin points to a hydrating barrier-repair facial; and early fine lines point to an age-defying facial. Many clients get the best result from a custom blend, with add-ons chosen for your skin that day.
A standard facial has no downtime — you may have slight, brief redness from extractions or exfoliation, but most clients head straight back to work, errands or the lake. If your facial includes a stronger peel or resurfacing add-on, we’ll tell you what to expect and how to care for your skin. Daily SPF is always advised, and especially afterward.
Yes — and that’s an advantage of a full medical spa. Because we perform facials, chemical peels, dermaplaning, microneedling, the PRP vampire facial and Botox® under one roof, your facial can be sequenced with these treatments safely for a complete plan. Your provider will advise on timing and order.
Your facial is performed by our licensed medical estheticians — lead aesthetician Michelle Napoli, Ava Moore and Emily Patrick — under the medical supervision of owner and Master Injector Susan Wallace, MSN, ANP-BC, with 35+ years of combined experience. That medical context is what separates a results-driven facial from a basic spa facial.
