Your skin isn’t like everyone else’s, so why would your treatment be? You’re not getting a one-size-fits-all facial here.
Every service starts with a free consultation where your skin is actually evaluated. Not a quick glance—a real assessment of what’s happening beneath the surface, what’s causing the issues you’re seeing, and what will actually move the needle.
From there, you get a treatment plan built around your specific concerns. Acne scarring that won’t fade. Hyperpigmentation from sun damage. Fine lines that showed up faster than you expected. Dull, dehydrated skin that makes you look tired even when you’re not.
You’re not walking out with a generic product recommendation. You’re walking out with a plan that addresses the root cause, uses medical-grade solutions, and gives you visible improvement—not in months, but often after the first session.
We’re based in Wake Forest and serve clients throughout the region, including Dortches, NC. Founded by Jacqueline Grace, a licensed esthetician with HydraFacial Master Certification, this isn’t your typical beauty shop near me.
Jacqueline has been named Best Esthetician in Wake County three years running. She’s also earned first place internationally in the Pigmentation Artist of the Year category at The Skin Games. That’s not marketing talk—that’s recognition from the industry itself.
You’re working with someone who knows how to treat complex skin issues, not just perform routine services. We hold HydraFacial Master Certification, a designation earned by less than 1% of providers worldwide. That means advanced training, proven results, and access to techniques most facial spas near you don’t offer.
You start with a free skin evaluation. No pressure, no upselling—just an honest look at what’s going on with your skin and what options make sense for your goals and timeline.
During that consultation, you’ll talk through your concerns, your skin history, and what you’ve already tried. Jacqueline will assess your skin type, identify underlying issues, and explain what’s realistic to expect from treatment. If you’re preparing for an event, dealing with ongoing breakouts, or just tired of feeling self-conscious about your skin, this is where you get clarity.
Once you move forward, your treatment is customized. If it’s a HydraFacial, the serums and boosters are chosen based on your skin’s needs that day. If it’s microneedling or a chemical peel, the depth and technique are adjusted to your skin type and tolerance. You’re not getting a cookie-cutter service.
After your session, you’ll know what to expect during recovery (if any), what to avoid, and when you’ll start seeing results. Most treatments have little to no downtime, so you can get back to your routine without a week of hiding at home.

We offer a full range of medical-grade treatments. HydraFacial is one of the most popular—it’s a multi-step treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates your skin using patented technology. You’ll see a difference immediately, and there’s zero downtime.
Beyond HydraFacial, you have access to SkinPen microneedling for texture and scarring, chemical peels for resurfacing and tone correction, dermaplaning for smooth skin and better product absorption, and Botox for fine lines and wrinkles. There’s also brow threading and facial threading if you’re looking for precise hair removal without irritation.
For clients in Dortches, NC and the surrounding Nash County area, this level of service usually means driving into Raleigh or Wake Forest. We make it easier. You’re getting the same expertise and technology you’d find at a high-end medical spa in a larger city, but with a more personalized, one-on-one approach.
Each service is tailored during your visit. Your skin changes based on season, stress, hormones, and lifestyle. What worked three months ago might not be the right move today, and that’s factored into every session.
A medical spa uses medical-grade treatments and technology that go deeper than what you’ll find at a traditional day spa. You’re not just getting surface-level pampering—you’re getting clinical-grade solutions for issues like acne, scarring, pigmentation, and aging.
At Wake Skincare, every treatment is performed or overseen by a licensed esthetician with advanced certifications. That means you’re getting services like chemical peels, microneedling, and HydraFacial performed at a level that requires real training and expertise. These aren’t treatments you can get at a regular parlour near me.
The other big difference is customization. A day spa often follows a set menu. We build your treatment around your skin’s specific needs. You’re getting a plan, not just a service.
A HydraFacial typically takes 30 to 45 minutes depending on what boosters or add-ons are included. It’s one of the fastest treatments for the level of results you get, which is why it’s so popular for people with busy schedules.
You’ll see results immediately. Your skin will look brighter, smoother, and more hydrated as soon as you leave. There’s no peeling, no redness, and no downtime. You can go straight back to work, run errands, or head to an event the same day.
For deeper concerns like fine lines, hyperpigmentation, or congested pores, you’ll see continued improvement with a series of treatments. Most people do a HydraFacial once a month to maintain results, but your plan will depend on your skin and your goals.
Not really. One of the benefits of treatments like HydraFacial and dermaplaning is that they work on your skin as it is. You don’t need to do anything special beforehand.
That said, if you’re coming in for a chemical peel or microneedling, there are a few things to avoid in the days leading up to your appointment. You’ll want to skip retinoids, exfoliating acids, and any aggressive treatments that might make your skin more sensitive. If you’ve had recent sun exposure or a sunburn, it’s best to reschedule.
During your consultation, you’ll get specific pre-treatment instructions based on what service you’re booking. If you’re unsure, just ask. The goal is to make sure your skin is in the best condition to respond well to treatment and heal properly afterward.
It depends on the treatment and the intensity. HydraFacial and dermaplaning have zero downtime—you can go about your day immediately. Microneedling and chemical peels require a bit more recovery, but it’s manageable.
With microneedling, your skin will be red for about 24 to 48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. You’ll want to avoid makeup, heavy exercise, and sun exposure during that time. Most people schedule it on a Friday so they’re ready to go by Monday.
Chemical peels vary. A light peel might leave you slightly pink for a day or two. A deeper peel will cause peeling and flaking for about a week. You’re not bedridden, but you’ll want to plan around it if you have photos or events coming up. During your consultation, you’ll get a clear picture of what to expect so there are no surprises.
That’s exactly what the free consultation is for. You’re not expected to walk in knowing whether you need a HydraFacial, a chemical peel, or microneedling. That’s Jacqueline’s job to figure out.
During your consultation, your skin will be evaluated and your concerns will be discussed in detail. If you’re dealing with acne scarring, microneedling might be the best option. If you’ve got dullness and dehydration, HydraFacial is often the go-to. For pigmentation or sun damage, a chemical peel could be the right move.
You’ll also talk about your timeline. If you’ve got an event in two weeks, some treatments are better suited than others. If you’re looking for long-term improvement and you’ve got time to commit to a series, that opens up different options. The consultation is where all of that gets mapped out so you’re moving forward with confidence, not guessing.
Yes, but it depends on the combination. Brow threading and facial threading can often be done on the same day as certain treatments, but not all of them. If you’re getting a HydraFacial or a light peel, threading beforehand is usually fine.
If you’re doing microneedling or a deeper peel, you’ll want to schedule threading separately. Those treatments make your skin more sensitive, and adding hair removal on top of that isn’t ideal. You don’t want to irritate freshly treated skin.
The best approach is to mention during your consultation that you’re interested in multiple services. That way, everything can be scheduled in the right order and timeframe. We offer a range of services beyond just skincare, so it’s easy to coordinate what you need without making multiple trips or compromising your results.
