Hear from Our Customers
You’re not looking for a relaxation day. You need visible improvement before that event, that meeting, or just because you’re tired of avoiding the mirror.
That’s where medical-grade skincare separates from everything else. HydraFacial treatments pull out congestion you can’t see and infuse serums your skin actually absorbs. Microneedling triggers real collagen production, not just surface plumping. Chemical peels remove damaged layers so healthier skin can come through.
The difference isn’t just what you see after one session. It’s how your skin responds over time when someone who knows what they’re doing builds a plan around your specific concerns. Whether that’s stubborn acne scarring, sun damage across your cheeks, or fine lines that showed up faster than you expected.
You walk out with a face that feels clean, looks brighter, and doesn’t need a filter to prove it.
We serve Gorman, NC and the surrounding Wake County area with treatments led by Jacqueline Grace, a licensed esthetician who’s been named Best Esthetician in Wake County three years running. She’s also HydraFacial Master Certified and placed first internationally in the Pigmentation Artist of the Year category at The Skin Games.
That’s not marketing language. Those are credentials you can look up.
Every consultation here starts with a free skin evaluation. You’re not sold a package based on what’s popular or what’s on special. You get a treatment plan built around what’s happening in your skin, what your schedule allows, and what kind of results you’re actually after. No upselling, no pressure, just honest recommendations from someone who’s seen hundreds of skin types and knows what works.
You start with a free consultation. Not a sales pitch. An actual evaluation where your skin is analyzed under proper lighting and you talk through what’s bothering you, what you’ve tried before, and what your goals are.
From there, a treatment plan gets built. Maybe it’s a single HydraFacial before a wedding. Maybe it’s a series of microneedling sessions to address acne scars. Maybe it’s a combination approach using chemical peels and dermaplaning to tackle texture and tone at the same time.
Each session is one-on-one. You’re not shuffled through a lineup. The treatment is customized in real time based on how your skin is responding that day. Sensitive? Adjustments get made. Breaking out? The plan shifts.
After your treatment, you get clear aftercare instructions and product recommendations if they’ll actually help. No hard sells. No mystery routines. Just straightforward guidance so your results last and your skin keeps improving between visits.

Every treatment at Wake Skincare starts with that free skin evaluation and consultation. You’re not guessing what you need or piecing together advice from the internet.
HydraFacial treatments here aren’t the basic version you’ll find at a chain. This is Master-level certification, which means advanced techniques, better serums, and a provider who knows how to adjust pressure, suction, and infusion based on your skin’s thickness, sensitivity, and current condition.
For clients in Gorman, NC dealing with sun damage or pigmentation common to our area, treatments can include targeted peels, microneedling with growth factors, or dermaplaning to remove dead skin and peach fuzz that traps oil and dulls your complexion. If you’re dealing with hormonal acne or texture issues, the approach might combine extractions, LED therapy, and a customized home care plan.
You also get honest timelines. If your goal requires six sessions, you’ll hear that upfront. If one treatment will get you where you need to be, that’s what gets recommended. The focus is results you can see and a process you can trust.
A medical spa uses clinical-grade treatments and equipment that go deeper than surface-level pampering. Regular facials focus on relaxation and basic cleansing. Medical spa treatments like HydraFacial, microneedling, and chemical peels are designed to address specific skin concerns with measurable results.
The difference shows up in what’s being used and who’s performing the service. Medical-grade peels contain higher concentrations of active ingredients. Microneedling devices penetrate at controlled depths to trigger collagen production. HydraFacial technology uses patented vortex suction that a standard facial simply can’t replicate.
You’re also working with a licensed esthetician trained in skin physiology, not just massage techniques. That means your treatment gets adjusted based on your skin’s real-time response, your medical history, and your specific goals. It’s a clinical approach to skincare, not a spa day.
Your first visit starts with a consultation and skin analysis. We’ll look at your skin under magnification, ask about your concerns, and discuss what you’re hoping to achieve. This isn’t a quick glance. It’s a thorough evaluation that shapes your entire treatment.
The HydraFacial itself takes about 30-45 minutes. You’ll feel a cool, wet sensation as the device cleanses, exfoliates, and extracts congestion using gentle suction. Then serums get infused based on your skin type—hyaluronic acid for hydration, peptides for firmness, or brightening agents for pigmentation. There’s no pain, no downtime, and no redness that lasts more than an hour.
Right after, your skin looks clearer and feels smoother. You can put on makeup and go about your day. Results improve over the next few days as your skin continues to absorb the serums and cell turnover kicks in. Most people book their next session within four to six weeks to maintain momentum.
That’s exactly what the free consultation is for. You don’t need to diagnose yourself or show up with a treatment already picked out. We’ll assess your skin, ask about your history, and recommend what will actually work for your specific situation.
If you’re dealing with acne scars, microneedling or chemical peels might be the best route. For dehydration and dullness, HydraFacial with targeted boosters makes more sense. If you’ve got a combination of concerns—like texture and pigmentation—your plan might include rotating treatments over a few months.
You’ll also get realistic expectations. Some concerns resolve in one session. Others take consistency and time. The goal is to give you a clear path forward, not sell you on the most expensive option. If a simpler treatment gets you the results you want, that’s what gets recommended.
Yes, but the treatment has to be customized. Sensitive skin doesn’t mean you can’t use medical-grade treatments. It means your provider needs to know what they’re doing and adjust accordingly.
HydraFacial can be modified with gentler serums and lower suction settings. Chemical peels come in different strengths, and a skilled esthetician will choose a formulation that improves your skin without causing irritation. Microneedling depth gets adjusted based on skin thickness and tolerance. Even dermaplaning, which sounds aggressive, is one of the safest treatments for sensitive skin when done correctly.
During your consultation, you’ll discuss any reactions you’ve had in the past, products that have caused issues, and conditions like rosacea or eczema. A patch test can be done if there’s any concern. The entire treatment gets tailored so you get results without the risk of a flare-up or prolonged redness.
It depends on what you’re treating and how your skin responds. For general maintenance and glow, a HydraFacial every four to six weeks keeps your skin clear and balanced. For acne scarring or deeper pigmentation, you might need microneedling or peels every four to eight weeks for a series of three to six sessions.
We’ll map out a realistic timeline during your consultation. If you’re prepping for an event, you might front-load treatments in the weeks leading up. If you’re addressing long-term concerns, the plan will be spaced out to give your skin time to heal and rebuild between sessions.
Consistency matters more than intensity. Showing up every six weeks for a year will give you better results than doing six treatments back-to-back and then disappearing. Your skin builds on each session, and the improvements compound over time when you stick with a plan that actually fits your schedule and budget.
In most cases, yes. Brow threading or facial threading can often be done on the same day as a HydraFacial, but the order matters. Threading is typically done first so any minor irritation has time to calm before the HydraFacial soothes and hydrates the skin.
Some combinations aren’t ideal on the same day. For example, microneedling and threading shouldn’t happen together because both create micro-trauma to the skin. Chemical peels and threading also need to be spaced out to avoid over-stressing the skin barrier.
During your consultation, let us know if you’re interested in combining services. We’ll let you know what works, what doesn’t, and how to schedule treatments so you’re getting the most benefit without compromising your skin’s health. The goal is always to enhance results, not create unnecessary sensitivity or downtime.
