Hear from Our Customers
You’re not looking for another facial that feels nice but does nothing. You need treatments that show up in photos, that get noticed at work, that make you feel like your skin finally caught up with the effort you’ve been putting in.
That’s what happens when treatments are built around your skin, not a one-size-fits-all menu. HydraFacial for immediate glow before an event. Microneedling for texture and scarring that won’t quit. Chemical peels calibrated to your skin type and sensitivity, not just what’s trending.
Every treatment starts with a free consultation because guessing doesn’t work. Your skin gets evaluated, your goals get heard, and your plan gets customized. No upselling. No pressure. Just a clear path from where your skin is now to where you want it to be.
We’re not new to this. Founded by Jacqueline Grace, a licensed esthetician who’s been named Best Esthetician in Wake County three years running, we’ve built a reputation on results you can see and credentials you can check.
HydraFacial Master Certified. First place at The Skin Games international competition for Pigmentation Artist of the Year. These aren’t participation awards—they’re proof that the hands working on your skin know what they’re doing.
Smithfield clients drive to Wake Forest because the level of care is different here. Each appointment is one-on-one. Each treatment is adjusted in real time based on how your skin responds. You’re not getting a script—you’re getting expertise applied to your specific situation.
First, you schedule a free consultation. No charge, no obligation. This is where your skin gets evaluated under proper lighting, your concerns get discussed, and your goals get clarified. If you’ve tried other treatments before, that history matters. If you have an event coming up, that changes the timeline.
From there, a treatment plan gets built. Maybe it’s a single HydraFacial before a wedding. Maybe it’s a series of microneedling sessions for acne scarring. Maybe it’s a combination approach for sun damage and fine lines. The plan is based on what your skin needs and what your schedule allows.
During treatment, everything gets explained as it happens. You’ll know what’s being applied, why it’s being used, and what to expect afterward. Downtime is minimal for most treatments, but you’ll get clear aftercare instructions so your results last.
Follow-up is part of the process. Your skin changes, your needs shift, and your plan adjusts. You’re not locked into anything—you’re just working with someone who’s tracking your progress and optimizing as you go.

HydraFacial treatments here aren’t the express versions you find at mall kiosks. These are full sessions with boosters chosen for your skin type—growth factors for aging skin, clarifying serums for congestion, brightening agents for hyperpigmentation. You leave glowing, not red.
Microneedling with SkinPen is medical-grade, not derma-rolling at home. Depth gets adjusted based on what you’re treating. Acne scars need different settings than fine lines. Numbing cream is applied first, so discomfort is managed before the pen even touches your face.
Chemical peels are customized by strength and formula. If your skin is sensitive, you’re not getting the same peel as someone with thicker, oil-prone skin. The goal is results without the horror-story peeling you see online. Most clients are back to normal within a few days.
Smithfield’s climate—hot, humid summers and unpredictable spring pollen—affects your skin. Treatments here account for that. Hydration gets prioritized. Barrier repair is built in. You’re not getting a generic protocol copied from a colder, drier state.
A full HydraFacial session takes about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on which boosters are added. The treatment itself is broken into cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration phases, and each step is adjusted based on how your skin responds in real time.
Results show up immediately. You’ll see the difference in the mirror before you leave—smoother texture, more even tone, a glow that doesn’t look artificial. That’s why so many people book HydraFacials right before events.
The glow lasts about five to seven days on average, but the deeper hydration and clarity can last longer if you’re following a good home routine. For ongoing results, most clients come in once a month. Your skin cycles every 28 days or so, and monthly treatments keep you ahead of dullness, congestion, and dehydration before they become visible problems.
Numbing cream is applied 20 to 30 minutes before microneedling starts, so most people describe the sensation as pressure or light vibration, not pain. Sensitive areas like around the nose or forehead might feel more intense, but it’s manageable. If you’ve ever had brow threading done, the discomfort level is similar or less.
Right after treatment, your skin will be red—like a moderate sunburn. That redness usually fades within 24 to 48 hours for most people. Some clients are back to normal the next day. Others need two days before they feel comfortable going makeup-free in public.
Peeling or flaking can start around day three and last a few days, but it’s not the dramatic shedding you see with deeper peels. It’s more like dry skin. You’ll be given a specific aftercare routine—gentle cleansing, lots of hydration, and strict sun protection. Most people take a day or two off from intense workouts and avoid makeup for the first 24 hours, but you’re not housebound.
A day spa focuses on relaxation—massages, aromatherapy, facials that feel good but don’t necessarily change your skin long-term. A medical spa focuses on results. Treatments are clinical, not just cosmetic. You’re working with licensed professionals trained in medical-grade procedures, not just surface-level pampering.
At a medical spa like ours, you have access to treatments that require deeper knowledge of skin physiology—microneedling, chemical peels, and advanced HydraFacial protocols. These aren’t things you can do at home or get at a standard salon. They’re FDA-cleared devices and medical-grade products that actually alter skin at a cellular level.
The other big difference is customization. Day spas often use the same facial for everyone. Medical spas assess your skin first, then build a treatment around what’s actually happening—whether that’s acne, rosacea, pigmentation, or aging. You’re not getting a menu option. You’re getting a prescription for your skin.
We focus on medical-grade skincare treatments like HydraFacial, microneedling, and chemical peels, so brow threading and traditional hair removal aren’t part of our service menu. We specialize in treatments that address skin texture, tone, aging, and acne—not hair removal.
If you’re searching for threading near me or brow threading near me in Smithfield, you’ll want to look for a salon or beauty shop that specializes in that service. Threading requires a different skill set and setup than what we offer at a medical spa.
That said, if you’re dealing with skin concerns like hyperpigmentation, scarring, or fine lines and also want threading done, you can absolutely get your brows shaped elsewhere and come here for the skincare side. Many clients do exactly that—they have their go-to spot for brows and lashes, and they come to us when they need real improvement in skin quality.
Pricing varies depending on the treatment and what’s included. A standard HydraFacial starts around $150 to $200, but that can go up if you add boosters like growth factors or LED light therapy. Microneedling sessions typically range from $250 to $400 depending on the area treated. Chemical peels vary based on strength and formula.
You’ll get exact pricing during your free consultation because the cost depends on what your skin actually needs. There’s no point in quoting a generic number when your treatment might look completely different from someone else’s.
Payment plans and financing options are available for clients who want to book a series of treatments upfront. Some people prefer to pay per session. Others want to lock in a package and spread the cost out. Both options work, and there’s no pressure either way.
The consultation is free, so you can get a clear picture of what your treatment plan would look like and what it would cost before committing to anything. No surprise fees. No hidden charges. Just transparent pricing based on what you’re actually getting.
For a HydraFacial, book two to three days before your event. That gives your skin time to fully settle and glow without any risk of sensitivity or redness. Some people book the day before and do fine, but two to three days is the safer window if you want to look your absolute best.
For microneedling, you need more lead time. Plan for at least two weeks, ideally three to four. Your skin will be red for a day or two, then it goes through a peeling phase, and the real results show up about a week later as collagen starts rebuilding. If you’re cutting it close, microneedling isn’t the move—stick with HydraFacial.
Chemical peels depend on the strength. A light peel might only need a week of recovery. A deeper peel could need two weeks or more. During your consultation, we’ll map out the timeline based on your event date and what your skin can handle. If there’s not enough time to do it right, we’ll tell you that upfront. Rushing a treatment to meet a deadline usually backfires, and we’re not going to let that happen to you.
