You don’t have time for treatments that take weeks to show up. When you’ve got an event coming up or you’re just tired of looking at the same skin issues in the mirror every morning, you need something that delivers.
That’s where medical-grade skincare comes in. HydraFacial treatments give you visible improvement in one session—smoother texture, clearer tone, hydration that actually lasts. Microneedling helps with acne scars, fine lines, and uneven skin over a series of sessions that fit into real life, not some idealized version of it.
Chemical peels target hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and dullness at depths that home products can’t reach. Dermaplaning removes dead skin and peach fuzz so your skin looks brighter and your makeup goes on smoother. These aren’t luxury add-ons—they’re clinical treatments that address specific problems with specific solutions.
You walk out seeing the difference. That’s the point.
We’re based in Wake Forest and serve clients throughout Franklinton, NC and the surrounding Wake County area. Jacqueline Grace, our licensed esthetician, has been named Best Esthetician in Wake County three years running—not because of marketing, but because clients see results.
She’s also HydraFacial Master Certified, which puts her among the top practitioners worldwide. That certification isn’t handed out—it’s earned through advanced training and proven outcomes. She’s placed first internationally in pigmentation treatment competitions, which means she’s working at a level most facial spas and beauty shops don’t come close to.
Every consultation here is free. You’re not walking into a sales pitch—you’re sitting down with someone who evaluates your skin, listens to what’s bothering you, and maps out a treatment plan that makes sense for your goals and your budget.
First, you schedule a free consultation. This isn’t a quick glance and a product recommendation—it’s a real evaluation of your skin type, concerns, and history. You’ll talk through what’s bothering you, what you’ve tried before, and what kind of results you’re actually looking for.
From there, we build a treatment plan around your skin. If you’re dealing with dehydration and dullness, a HydraFacial might be the move. If you’ve got acne scarring or deeper texture issues, microneedling could be the better route. If pigmentation is the problem, a chemical peel or targeted corrective treatment might be what finally works.
Treatments are done in a one-on-one setting. No assembly line, no rushing. You’re walked through what’s happening, what to expect during and after, and how to take care of your skin between sessions.
Most treatments take 30 to 60 minutes. Some give you immediate results. Others build over time. Either way, you’ll know what to expect before anything starts.

Every service starts with a skin analysis. That means you’re not getting a one-size-fits-all facial—you’re getting a treatment customized to your skin’s current condition, not what worked for someone else.
HydraFacial treatments here go beyond the basics. You’re getting medical-grade serums, extractions that actually clear your pores, and hydration that sinks in deep. It’s the most requested treatment for a reason—it works on almost every skin type and you see results immediately.
Microneedling uses SkinPen technology to stimulate collagen production. It’s effective for acne scars, fine lines, large pores, and overall texture. You’ll need a series of treatments, but each one builds on the last. This isn’t a quick fix—it’s a real solution for skin issues that don’t respond to surface-level care.
Chemical peels are customized by strength and formula depending on what you’re treating. Light peels brighten and refresh with minimal downtime. Medium peels go deeper for pigmentation and sun damage. You’re not guessing which peel is right—you’re getting the one that matches your skin and your schedule.
Franklinton clients also ask about dermaplaning and brow threading. Dermaplaning removes dead skin and fine hair for an instant glow. Threading gives you clean, precise brow shaping without the irritation of waxing. Both are quick add-ons that make a noticeable difference.
A medical spa uses clinical-grade treatments and equipment that go deeper than what you’d get at a day spa. The services are performed by licensed professionals trained in medical aesthetics, not just relaxation techniques.
At a day spa, you’re mostly getting surface-level facials, massages, and pampering. At a medical spa, you’re treating specific skin concerns with proven methods—things like microneedling, chemical peels, and medical-grade HydraFacials that actually change your skin over time.
The other big difference is customization. We assess your skin clinically and build a treatment plan based on what’s going on beneath the surface. You’re not just booking a “signature facial”—you’re getting a targeted solution for acne, scarring, pigmentation, or aging.
It depends on the treatment. HydraFacial gives you immediate results—your skin looks clearer, smoother, and more hydrated as soon as you leave. That’s why people book it before events, photos, or anything where they want to look their best right away.
Microneedling and chemical peels work differently. You’ll see some improvement after the first session, but real results build over a series of treatments. Microneedling typically requires three to six sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Chemical peels might need two to four sessions depending on what you’re treating.
For deeper concerns like acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, or fine lines, expect a few months of consistent treatment. But you’ll notice progress along the way—it’s not like you’re waiting in the dark. Your skin gets better with each session, and you can see it happening.
Most treatments here have little to no downtime. HydraFacial, dermaplaning, and light chemical peels let you go right back to your day. Your skin might be a little pink for an hour or two, but nothing that stops you from going to work or running errands.
Microneedling causes some redness and sensitivity for about 24 to 48 hours. Your skin might feel tight or look flushed, like a mild sunburn. Most people are back to normal within two days. You’ll want to avoid heavy makeup and sun exposure right after, but it’s not the kind of downtime that keeps you home for a week.
Medium to deep chemical peels have more downtime—anywhere from three to seven days depending on the strength. Your skin will peel and flake as it heals, which is exactly what’s supposed to happen. You’ll get clear instructions on how to care for your skin during that time so it heals properly and you get the full benefit of the treatment.
Yes, but the treatment has to be chosen carefully. Sensitive skin doesn’t mean you can’t do medical-grade treatments—it just means your treatment plan needs to account for how your skin reacts.
HydraFacial is one of the safest options for sensitive skin because it’s gentle, hydrating, and doesn’t involve harsh chemicals or aggressive exfoliation. The serums can be customized to avoid irritation while still giving you real results.
Microneedling and chemical peels can also work for sensitive skin, but the depth, strength, and frequency get adjusted. You’re not getting the same protocol as someone with thicker, more resilient skin. That’s why the consultation matters—your skin gets evaluated first, and the treatment gets tailored to what it can handle.
If you’ve had bad reactions to facials or products in the past, bring that up during your consultation. It helps us build a treatment plan that works with your skin, not against it.
Pricing varies depending on the treatment and how many sessions you need. A single HydraFacial typically runs between $150 and $300 depending on what’s included. Microneedling sessions usually range from $200 to $400 each. Chemical peels can be anywhere from $100 for a light peel to $400+ for a deeper treatment.
If you’re doing a series of treatments, many medical spas offer package pricing that brings the per-session cost down. For example, a package of three microneedling sessions might cost less than booking them individually.
The consultation at Wake Skincare is free, so you can get a clear idea of what your specific treatment plan would cost before committing to anything. You’ll know upfront what you’re paying for and what kind of results to expect. No surprise charges, no upselling products you don’t need.
Yes, and a lot of people do. Dermaplaning is commonly paired with a HydraFacial because removing dead skin first lets the HydraFacial serums penetrate deeper. Brow threading can be added to almost any facial treatment since it’s quick and doesn’t interfere with your skin’s healing process.
Some treatments shouldn’t be combined, though. You wouldn’t do microneedling and a chemical peel on the same day because both create controlled injury to the skin—doing them together would be too much and could cause irritation or damage.
During your consultation, we’ll go over what makes sense to combine and what’s better done separately. The goal is to get you the best results without overdoing it or wasting your time and money on treatments that don’t work well together.
