You’ve got an event coming up, or you’re just tired of looking at the same skin issues every morning. Either way, you don’t have time to gamble on treatments that might work in six weeks.
HydraFacial treatments give you immediate improvement. Your skin looks clearer, smoother, and more even before you leave. No peeling phase. No hiding at home for three days. You can go straight to dinner, back to work, or anywhere else without looking like you just had something done.
The treatment pulls out what’s clogging your pores, resurfaces dull or uneven texture, and floods your skin with serums that actually absorb. It’s not a relaxing spa day with questionable results—it’s a clinical-grade facial that changes what you see in the mirror. That’s why 100% of patients in clinical studies reported feeling more confident after their treatment. And it’s why 65% of people who try medical-grade facials become repeat clients.
Wake Skincare is run by Jacqueline Grace, a licensed esthetician who’s been named Best Esthetician in Wake County three years running. She’s also HydraFacial Master Certified, which puts her in the top tier of practitioners worldwide, and she’s won first place internationally for pigmentation treatment at The Skin Games.
You’re not getting passed off to whoever’s available that day. You’re working with someone who’s proven she knows what she’s doing, and who’s built a reputation across Wake Forest, Rougemont, Durham, Raleigh, and 22+ other cities in the area based on actual results. We hold a 5-star rating across 285 reviews, and clients keep coming back because the work speaks for itself.
This isn’t a beauty shop trying to do everything. It’s a skincare clinic that focuses on medical-grade treatments with a personalized approach for your specific skin.
You start with a free consultation and skin evaluation. Jacqueline looks at what’s going on with your skin, asks about your goals, and maps out what treatment makes sense. No pressure, no upselling—just a clear plan.
If you move forward with a HydraFacial, the treatment takes about 30 to 45 minutes. It’s broken into steps: deep cleansing and exfoliation to remove dead skin, a gentle acid peel to loosen debris, extraction using vacuum suction to clear out pores, and hydration with targeted serums. Each step is customized based on what your skin needs that day—whether that’s fighting acne, reducing fine lines, evening out pigmentation, or just refreshing dull, tired skin.
You’ll also see threading services for brows and facial hair if that’s part of your routine. It’s precise, it’s fast, and it’s gentler on your skin than waxing.
After your appointment, there’s no downtime. Your skin might be slightly pink for an hour, but that’s it. You’re not peeling, you’re not raw, and you don’t need to cancel plans. You just look better.

We offer HydraFacial as the core treatment, and it’s effective for acne, aging, hyperpigmentation, dryness, oily skin, and enlarged pores. Clinical studies show a 100% positive response rate for acne treatment and significant improvement in wrinkles and texture over time.
You’ll also find SkinPen microneedling for deeper scarring and texture issues, chemical peels for resurfacing, dermaplaning for smooth skin and better product absorption, and Botox for lines that need more than topical treatment. Every service is medical-grade, which means it’s stronger and more effective than what you’d get at a typical beauty shop or parlour.
Threading services cover brows and facial hair. It’s a precise hair removal method that’s been used for centuries and works well for people who react badly to wax or want cleaner lines.
Rougemont and the surrounding Wake County area have a median household income over $104,000, and the local market reflects that—people here expect quality and are willing to invest in treatments that actually work. That’s exactly what we deliver. You’re not getting a discount facial that leaves you wondering if anything happened. You’re getting results you can see and feel immediately.
A regular facial usually involves some manual extraction, a mask, and maybe a light massage. It feels nice, but the results are inconsistent and often temporary. HydraFacial uses patented vortex technology to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and hydrate your skin with medical-grade serums in one treatment.
The difference is in the equipment and the depth of treatment. HydraFacial removes dead skin cells and pulls out impurities from your pores using vacuum suction, which is more thorough than manual extraction and less irritating. Then it infuses your skin with serums that target your specific concerns—antioxidants, peptides, hyaluronic acid—at a level that actually penetrates.
You see results immediately, and those results improve with regular treatments. Studies show HydraFacial significantly reduces wrinkles, evens out skin tone, and improves overall skin health over time. That’s not something you get from a standard facial at a beauty shop near you.
No. That’s one of the biggest advantages of HydraFacial and the other treatments we offer. You might have slight redness for about an hour after your appointment, but it fades fast. Most people go straight back to work, run errands, or head to an event the same day.
There’s no peeling, no downtime, no hiding at home waiting for your skin to calm down. That’s why so many busy professionals book HydraFacials before big meetings, weddings, or trips. You get the results without the recovery period.
If you’re doing something more intensive like a chemical peel or microneedling, Jacqueline will walk you through what to expect. But even those treatments are designed to minimize downtime compared to older, harsher methods. You’re never left guessing about what’s normal or how long you’ll look red.
For maintenance and ongoing improvement, most people do a HydraFacial once a month. Your skin fully turns over about every 30 days, so monthly treatments keep you ahead of buildup, dullness, and early signs of aging.
If you’re dealing with active acne, hyperpigmentation, or more visible aging, you might start with treatments every two to three weeks until you see the improvement you’re looking for. Then you can space them out to monthly or even every six weeks to maintain results.
It’s not about locking you into a rigid schedule. Jacqueline builds a plan based on your skin and your goals during your consultation. Some people come in before events and then take a break. Others commit to monthly treatments because they like the consistency. The treatment works either way—it just works faster and lasts longer when it’s part of a regular routine.
HydraFacial is highly effective for acne. Clinical studies show 100% of participants with acne saw improvement, with significant reductions in severity across all skin types. The treatment works because it clears out your pores completely—removing oil, debris, and dead skin that cause breakouts—and then delivers serums that calm inflammation and kill bacteria.
It’s also non-irritating, which is huge if you’ve been using harsh acne products that dry out your skin and make things worse. HydraFacial treats the acne without stripping your skin or causing more redness.
That said, it’s also one of the best treatments for fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven texture. The same process that clears acne also resurfaces dull skin and boosts collagen production. So whether you’re dealing with breakouts, aging, or both, HydraFacial addresses it. You’re not choosing between treating acne or treating aging—you’re getting both handled in the same appointment.
Threading is more precise than waxing, and it’s gentler on your skin. It removes hair from the follicle using twisted thread, so you get clean lines and longer-lasting results without pulling or irritating the skin around your brows or upper lip.
If you have sensitive skin, rosacea, or you’re using retinoids or other active skincare products, threading is the better choice. Waxing can cause redness, breakouts, or even remove a layer of skin if your skin is already sensitized. Threading doesn’t touch your skin—it only grabs the hair.
It’s also faster than tweezing and more accurate than waxing, especially for shaping brows. You’re not dealing with hot wax, strips, or the mess that comes with it. It’s a technique that’s been used for centuries, and it works. If you’ve been searching for brow threading near you or facial threading in Rougemont, we’re one of the few places in the area that offers it alongside medical-grade facial treatments.
Not really. Just show up with a clean face if possible—no makeup is ideal, but if you’re coming from work or another appointment, that’s fine too. The treatment starts with cleansing anyway.
If you’re using prescription retinoids, acids, or other active treatments, let Jacqueline know during your consultation. She’ll adjust the treatment to make sure your skin isn’t over-exfoliated or irritated. Same thing if you’ve had any recent cosmetic procedures, sunburn, or skin infections.
After your facial, avoid heavy workouts, saunas, or direct sun exposure for the rest of the day. Your skin will be more sensitive to heat and UV right after treatment. Other than that, you’re good to go. No complicated prep, no long list of restrictions. The whole process is designed to fit into your life, not disrupt it.
