You’re not looking for a facial that feels nice but does nothing. You want visible improvement—smoother texture, fewer breakouts, less redness, brighter tone. The kind of change people notice but can’t quite put their finger on.
That’s what happens when treatments are built around your skin, not a menu. At Wake Skincare, every HydraFacial, chemical peel, microneedling session, and dermaplaning treatment starts with a real evaluation. You’re not getting a one-size-fits-all approach.
You’re working with someone who’s been named Best Esthetician in Wake County three years running and placed first internationally in pigmentation correction. That level of precision shows up in how your skin responds. Faster. Clearer. Without the trial-and-error most people deal with when they’re bouncing between different providers or guessing what works.
Wake Skincare is led by Jacqueline Grace, a licensed esthetician and one of only a handful of HydraFacial Master Certified providers worldwide. She’s not new to this. She’s been treating skin across Wake County for years, earning recognition that goes beyond local—including first place at The Skin Games for Pigmentation Artist of the Year.
Our Briar Chapel clients come here because they’re tired of cookie-cutter facials that don’t move the needle. They want someone who can look at hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, dehydration, or aging skin and know exactly what to do about it. That’s what you get here—personalized care that’s rooted in both medical-grade solutions and holistic methods.
Every treatment includes a free consultation. You’re never walking in blind, and you’re never pressured into something that doesn’t fit your goals or timeline.
First, you schedule a free skin evaluation. This isn’t a sales pitch. It’s a real assessment where Jacqueline examines your skin type, concerns, and goals. You’ll talk through what’s realistic, what timeline makes sense, and what treatment plan will actually get you there.
From there, your first session is scheduled based on what your skin needs most. If you’re dealing with dullness or clogged pores, a HydraFacial might be the starting point. If you’re targeting deeper concerns like acne scars or fine lines, microneedling or a chemical peel could be the better move. Every treatment is customized in real time based on how your skin’s responding.
After your session, you’ll get clear aftercare instructions and a recommendation for follow-up timing. Most clients see immediate improvement, especially with HydraFacial treatments. Deeper work like microneedling builds over a series of sessions, but you’ll know the plan upfront. No surprises. No upselling mid-appointment.

We offer HydraFacial, SkinPen microneedling, chemical peels, Botox, dermaplaning, brow and facial threading, and targeted treatments for acne, aging, pigmentation, and dehydration. Every service can be customized or combined depending on what your skin needs.
Briar Chapel is one of the fastest-growing communities in Chatham County, and with that growth comes a demand for quality skincare that doesn’t require a drive into Raleigh or Chapel Hill. You’re getting the same level of expertise you’d find at a high-end medical spa in a bigger city, but closer to home and with more personalized attention.
We also offer threading services for clients looking for precise brow shaping or facial hair removal. It’s a gentle, effective alternative to waxing that works well for sensitive skin. If you’ve been searching for threading near me or brow threading near me, this is one of the few places in the area offering it alongside medical-grade facial treatments.
Each visit is one-on-one. You’re not being shuffled between rooms or handed off to someone else mid-treatment. You’re working with the same expert from start to finish.
A regular facial typically involves manual extraction, steam, and topical products. It can help with surface-level cleansing, but results are often temporary and depend heavily on the skill of the esthetician. A HydraFacial uses patented vortex technology to cleanse, extract, and hydrate at a deeper level without the irritation or downtime that comes with manual extractions.
The treatment infuses serums customized to your skin type while simultaneously removing impurities. You’re getting exfoliation, hydration, and antioxidant protection in one session. Most people see immediate glow and smoother texture right after their first HydraFacial.
It’s also gentler on sensitive or acne-prone skin. There’s no squeezing or aggressive scrubbing. That’s why it’s become the go-to for people who want results without redness or peeling afterward.
You’ll notice some improvement within a few days as your skin starts to heal and produce new collagen. But the real transformation happens over the next four to six weeks as collagen continues to rebuild beneath the surface. That’s when you’ll see smoother texture, reduced scarring, and firmer skin.
Most people need a series of three to six sessions spaced about four weeks apart for optimal results, especially if you’re treating acne scars, deep wrinkles, or significant sun damage. Each session builds on the last, so the improvements are cumulative.
After your series is complete, results can last for months. Many clients come back once or twice a year for maintenance, but you’re not locked into ongoing treatments just to keep your results. Your skin has actually changed at a structural level.
It depends on the type of peel. Lighter peels might leave you with some mild flaking for a few days, but you can usually wear makeup the next day and go about your routine. Deeper peels will cause more noticeable peeling and require a few days of downtime while your skin sheds and renews.
During your consultation, Jacqueline will recommend the peel strength that matches your skin concerns and your schedule. If you’ve got an event coming up, a lighter peel might make more sense. If you’re targeting deeper pigmentation or sun damage and can take a week off from social plans, a stronger peel will give you more dramatic results.
You’ll get specific aftercare instructions based on the peel you receive. Most people are back to normal within five to seven days, and the results—brighter tone, smoother texture, fewer dark spots—are worth the brief adjustment period.
Yes, but the order matters. If you’re getting both, Botox is typically administered first, followed by your facial treatment. You’ll want to avoid any aggressive manipulation or pressure on the areas where Botox was injected for at least four hours to prevent migration.
HydraFacial works well in combination with Botox because it’s gentle and doesn’t involve heavy massage or extraction pressure. Dermaplaning is another good pairing since it’s non-invasive and focuses on exfoliation rather than deep tissue work.
If you’re planning to combine treatments, mention that during your consultation. Jacqueline will map out the best approach and timing so you get the most out of both without compromising results. Many clients prefer to stack treatments around events or seasonal skin goals to maximize their time and investment.
Most people benefit from a HydraFacial every four to six weeks, especially if you’re dealing with ongoing concerns like congestion, dullness, or dehydration. That timing aligns with your skin’s natural renewal cycle, so you’re consistently supporting healthy turnover and hydration.
If your skin is in good shape and you’re just maintaining clarity and glow, you might stretch it to every eight weeks. If you’re actively treating acne, hyperpigmentation, or early signs of aging, monthly sessions will give you faster, more noticeable improvement.
After your first treatment, Jacqueline will give you a recommendation based on how your skin responded and what your goals are. You’re never locked into a schedule that doesn’t make sense for your skin or your budget. The goal is progress, not dependency.
Yes. We offer threading for brows and facial hair removal, and it’s one of the most precise methods for shaping and cleaning up unwanted hair. It’s especially popular with clients who have sensitive skin or who’ve had reactions to waxing in the past.
The process uses a twisted cotton thread to remove hair at the follicle level, which means you get clean lines and longer-lasting results compared to shaving or trimming. There’s no heat, no chemicals, and minimal irritation. Most people feel a slight tingling sensation, but it’s over quickly.
If you’ve been searching for facial threading or brow threading near me in Briar Chapel, this is one of the few local spots that combines threading with medical-grade skincare. You can book it as a standalone service or add it to a facial appointment for a full refresh.
