Hear from Our Customers
You’re not looking for another product recommendation or a facial that feels nice but doesn’t do much. You want to leave with skin that’s visibly different—smoother, brighter, clearer. The kind of glow that makes people ask what you’ve been doing.
That’s what happens when treatments are built around your skin, not a script. Whether you’re dealing with stubborn acne scars, uneven tone from sun damage, or fine lines that seem to multiply overnight, the right combination of medical-grade solutions can actually reverse what you’re seeing.
Our HydraFacial treatments pull out congestion you didn’t know was there. Microneedling rebuilds texture from the inside out. Chemical peels resurface without the downtime you’d expect. And when these treatments are customized based on what your skin actually needs right now, you see the difference immediately.
You’re not guessing anymore. You’re not waiting weeks to see if something worked. You walk out different than you walked in.
Wake Skincare isn’t new to Wake Forest, NC, and our results speak louder than any marketing ever could. Jacqueline Grace has been named Best Esthetician in Wake County three consecutive years, and she’s earned first place internationally in the Pigmentation Artist category at The Skin Games.
She’s also HydraFacial Master Certified, which puts her among the top practitioners worldwide. That’s not a participation award—it’s recognition that comes from proven expertise and consistent outcomes.
Wake Forest has grown fast, and with that growth comes more options for skincare. But not all options are equal. You’re choosing someone who’s been tested, awarded, and trusted by clients across 22+ cities in the area. That matters when you’re letting someone work on your face.
You start with a free consultation. Not a sales pitch—an actual skin evaluation where Jacqueline looks at what’s happening with your skin and talks through what will work and what won’t.
From there, she builds a treatment plan based on your goals and timeline. If you’ve got an event in two weeks, the approach is different than if you’re addressing years of sun damage. Everything is customized.
During the treatment itself, you’re not left wondering what’s being done or why. Jacqueline explains what’s happening as it happens. If it’s a HydraFacial, you’ll feel the extraction and hydration working in real time. If it’s microneedling or a peel, you’ll know what to expect during and after.
Most treatments take 30 to 60 minutes. You’ll see immediate results with HydraFacial—your skin will literally glow when you leave. Other treatments like microneedling build over time, with visible improvement in texture and tone within a few weeks.
There’s no pressure to book a series upfront. You see the results first, then decide what makes sense for your skin and your budget.

We combine holistic methods with medical-grade technology, which means you’re getting treatments that are both effective and safe for long-term skin health. Our services include HydraFacial, SkinPen microneedling, chemical peels, dermaplaning, Botox, and brow threading.
HydraFacial is our most popular treatment for good reason—it addresses multiple concerns in one session. It cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates using medical-grade serums tailored to your skin type. You leave with zero downtime and immediate radiance.
Microneedling with SkinPen is ideal if you’re dealing with acne scars, large pores, or loss of firmness. It stimulates collagen production deep in the skin, rebuilding texture over the course of several weeks. Chemical peels work similarly but focus on resurfacing, making them perfect for sun damage and hyperpigmentation.
Wake Forest’s demographics skew professional—healthcare workers, educators, and corporate employees who want effective treatments without a complicated routine. That’s exactly what these services deliver. You’re not adding 10 steps to your morning. You’re getting results that simplify everything else.
We serve clients from Raleigh, Youngsville, Rolesville, Knightdale, and beyond, because people are willing to drive for expertise that delivers.
A regular facial typically involves manual extraction, massage, and a mask. It feels relaxing, and your skin might look a little brighter afterward, but the results are surface-level and short-lived.
A HydraFacial uses patented vortex technology to deeply cleanse, extract, and infuse medical-grade serums into your skin. It’s not just about what’s removed—it’s about what’s delivered. The serums are customized based on your skin’s needs, whether that’s hydration, brightening, or anti-aging.
The results are immediate and noticeable. Your skin looks plumper, clearer, and more radiant right after the treatment. And because it’s non-invasive with zero downtime, you can get a HydraFacial during your lunch break and go straight back to work.
If you’re searching for a “HydraFacial near me” in Wake Forest, NC, you want a provider who’s Master Certified. That certification means advanced training and proven results, not just someone who bought the machine.
You don’t have to figure that out on your own. That’s what the free consultation is for.
During your consultation, Jacqueline evaluates your skin type, concerns, and goals. She’s looking at texture, tone, hydration levels, and any active issues like acne or hyperpigmentation. From there, she recommends the treatment or combination of treatments that will give you the best results.
If you’re dealing with clogged pores and dullness, HydraFacial is usually the starting point. If you’ve got deeper concerns like acne scars or fine lines, microneedling or a chemical peel might be the better option. Sometimes it’s a combination—HydraFacial to prep and hydrate, then microneedling to rebuild.
The key is that nothing is one-size-fits-all. Your skin is different today than it was six months ago, and it’ll be different six months from now. Treatments are adjusted based on what’s happening right now, not a generic protocol.
It depends on the treatment. HydraFacial and dermaplaning have zero downtime. You can get either treatment and go straight to dinner, a meeting, or an event. Your skin will look better immediately.
Microneedling and chemical peels require a bit more recovery. With microneedling, your skin will be red for 24 to 48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. You’ll need to avoid makeup and direct sun exposure during that time. Most people schedule it on a Thursday or Friday so they’re ready to go by Monday.
Chemical peels vary depending on the strength. A light peel might cause slight flaking for a few days. A deeper peel will involve more visible peeling over the course of a week. Jacqueline walks you through exactly what to expect based on the peel she’s recommending.
If you’ve got an event coming up, mention that during your consultation. She’ll recommend treatments that fit your timeline so you’re glowing when it matters, not peeling.
That depends on what you’re trying to achieve and what treatment you’re getting. HydraFacial can be done every four weeks for maintenance or more frequently if you’re prepping for something specific.
Microneedling is typically spaced four to six weeks apart, with most people seeing significant improvement after three sessions. Chemical peels follow a similar schedule, though some clients do a series of lighter peels monthly.
If you’re dealing with an active issue—acne, hyperpigmentation, or early signs of aging—you’ll likely start with a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart. Once your skin is where you want it, you switch to maintenance mode, which might be every six to eight weeks.
The goal isn’t to keep you coming back forever. It’s to get your skin to a place where it’s healthy and manageable, then maintain that with less frequent visits. Jacqueline will tell you exactly what’s realistic based on your skin and your budget.
Credentials matter more than anything. You want a licensed esthetician with advanced certifications, not just someone who took a weekend course. Look for HydraFacial certification, microneedling training, and a track record of results.
Awards and recognition are a good indicator, but client reviews tell the real story. If people are consistently mentioning visible results, personalized care, and a comfortable experience, that’s a provider worth considering.
You also want someone who’s transparent about what will and won’t work. If a provider is pushing expensive packages upfront or promising results that sound too good to be true, that’s a red flag. The best estheticians educate you, show you what’s realistic, and let you decide.
Location matters too, especially in a growing area like Wake Forest, NC. You’re more likely to stick with treatments if the drive is manageable. We serve clients from Raleigh, Youngsville, Rolesville, and surrounding areas because people are willing to travel for expertise, but convenience still plays a role.
Yes, brow threading can absolutely be done during the same visit as your facial treatment. In fact, it’s one of the most common add-ons because it’s quick, precise, and doesn’t interfere with other services.
Threading is ideal if you want clean, defined brows without the irritation that waxing or tweezing can cause. It’s especially popular with clients who have sensitive skin or who are using retinoids or other active ingredients that make waxing risky.
If you’re getting a HydraFacial or dermaplaning treatment, threading can be done right before or after without any issues. If you’re getting a chemical peel or microneedling, Jacqueline will recommend scheduling threading on a different day to avoid any irritation.
The process takes about 10 to 15 minutes, and the results last three to four weeks. It’s one of those small details that makes a big difference in how polished you look, and it’s easy to add to your regular skincare routine.
