Hear from Our Customers
You’re not booking a facial spa appointment just to relax for an hour. You’re here because something’s bothering you—texture that won’t smooth out, pigmentation that makeup can’t cover, or fine lines that showed up faster than you expected.
When you leave Wake Skincare, you see the difference that day. Not in a week, not after three sessions—that day. Your skin looks clearer, smoother, more even. The tightness and dullness are gone. You’re not wondering if the treatment worked because your face already told you.
That’s what happens when a HydraFacial or microneedling session is customized to your actual skin, not a one-size-fits-all protocol. You get immediate visible improvement and a plan that keeps building on it. No fluff, no waiting around to see if this was worth your time. Just results you can see before you walk out the door.
We’re based in Wake Forest and serve clients throughout Middlesex, NC and the surrounding Wake County area. Our founder and licensed esthetician, Jacqueline Grace, has been named Best Esthetician in Wake County three years running—not because of marketing, but because clients see results and tell other people about it.
She’s also HydraFacial Master Certified, which puts her in the top tier of providers worldwide, and took first place internationally in the Pigmentation Artist of the Year category at The Skin Games. That’s not just a title—it means she knows how to treat stubborn pigmentation issues that most places can’t touch.
Every consultation is free, and every treatment plan is built around your skin, your goals, and your timeline. No upselling. No cookie-cutter facials. Just honest assessments and treatments that actually move the needle.
You start with a free skin evaluation. Jacqueline looks at your skin under proper lighting, asks about your concerns and history, and explains what’s actually going on—not what you think is happening, but what’s really causing the issue. That conversation shapes everything that comes next.
From there, she recommends a treatment or combination of treatments. Maybe it’s a HydraFacial to deep-clean and hydrate. Maybe it’s microneedling to rebuild collagen and smooth texture. Maybe it’s a chemical peel to resurface pigmentation. It depends entirely on what your skin needs, not what’s popular that month.
During the treatment, you’re walked through every step. You know what’s being applied, why it’s being used, and what it’s doing. There’s no mystery or discomfort you weren’t prepared for. Afterward, you get clear instructions on how to care for your skin at home so the results last and improve over time.
Most people see a difference immediately. Some treatments build results over a few weeks as your skin regenerates. Either way, you’re not left guessing whether it worked.

We offer HydraFacial, SkinPen microneedling, chemical peels, dermaplaning, Botox, and other medical-grade treatments. Each one is customized based on your skin type, concerns, and goals. You’re not getting a generic facial—this is clinical-grade skincare delivered in a comfortable, one-on-one setting.
For clients in Middlesex, NC and nearby areas like Wake Forest, Youngsville, and Rolesville, this means access to treatments that typically require a trip into Raleigh or Durham. You’re getting the same level of expertise and certification without the drive or the wait times at larger clinics.
The focus here is on combining medical-grade solutions with a holistic, personalized approach. That means treating acne, pigmentation, fine lines, and texture issues with methods that are proven to work—not trends or gimmicks. You also get ongoing support. If your skin changes or you have questions between visits, you’re not on your own.
Whether you’re dealing with acne scarring, sun damage, dehydration, or aging skin, the treatment is tailored to address your specific issue. And because every session includes a consultation, your plan adjusts as your skin improves.
A regular facial is usually about relaxation and surface-level cleansing. It feels nice, but it doesn’t change much under the skin. A medical spa treatment uses clinical-grade tools and products that actually penetrate deeper layers, stimulate collagen, remove damaged skin, or target specific issues like pigmentation and acne.
At Wake Skincare, treatments like HydraFacial and microneedling are performed by a licensed esthetician with advanced certifications. That means you’re getting medical-grade results without needing a doctor’s office. The products are stronger, the techniques are more advanced, and the outcomes are measurable—not just how you feel during the session, but how your skin looks days and weeks later.
If you’ve tried regular facials and didn’t see much change, that’s why. Medical spa treatments are built to deliver visible improvement, not just temporary glow.
A HydraFacial typically takes 30 to 45 minutes depending on what’s included in your customized treatment. There’s no downtime, so you can book it during lunch or before an event without worrying about redness or peeling.
You’ll see results immediately. Your skin looks clearer, smoother, and more hydrated as soon as the treatment is done. That’s because HydraFacial deep-cleans your pores, removes dead skin, and infuses serums that plump and brighten in real time. It’s one of the few treatments where you don’t have to wait to see if it worked.
For deeper concerns like fine lines, texture, or pigmentation, results build over multiple sessions. But even after your first visit, your skin looks noticeably better. That’s why so many people book a HydraFacial right before weddings, photos, or big meetings—it delivers fast, visible improvement when you need it most.
Microneedling feels like light pressure or tingling, not pain. A numbing cream is applied before the treatment starts, so most people find it completely tolerable. The SkinPen we use at Wake Skincare is FDA-cleared and designed to minimize discomfort while maximizing collagen production.
Your skin will be pink or slightly red afterward, similar to a mild sunburn. That usually fades within 24 to 48 hours. Some people go back to work the next day with a little makeup. Others prefer to schedule it before a weekend so they have extra recovery time. Either way, it’s not the kind of downtime that keeps you home for a week.
The real results show up over the next few weeks as your skin produces new collagen and resurfaces itself. You’ll notice smoother texture, reduced scarring, smaller pores, and a more even tone. It’s one of the most effective treatments for acne scars, fine lines, and overall skin texture—and the recovery is manageable for most schedules.
That’s exactly what the free consultation is for. You don’t have to figure it out on your own or guess based on what you’ve read online. Jacqueline evaluates your skin in person, asks about your concerns and goals, and explains what’s causing the issue you’re seeing.
From there, she recommends the treatment or combination of treatments that will actually address the problem. If you have acne scarring, microneedling might be the best option. If you’re dealing with dullness and clogged pores, a HydraFacial could be the right start. If pigmentation is the issue, a chemical peel or targeted serum might be part of the plan.
You’re not pressured into anything, and you’re not sold the most expensive option just because. The recommendation is based on what will work for your skin type, your timeline, and your budget. And if you’re not sure or want to start small, that’s fine too. The goal is results you’re happy with, not checking boxes on a service menu.
Yes, but only when they’re customized correctly. That’s the difference between a medical spa that knows what they’re doing and one that uses the same protocol on everyone. Sensitive and acne-prone skin needs gentler exfoliation, specific serums, and careful product selection—or you’ll end up with irritation or breakouts instead of improvement.
At Wake Skincare, every treatment is adjusted based on your skin’s current condition. If your skin is inflamed or reactive, the approach is modified to calm and strengthen it first. If you’re acne-prone, the focus is on deep cleaning without aggravating oil production or causing more breakouts.
HydraFacial is especially effective for acne-prone skin because it extracts debris and bacteria from pores without manual squeezing or harsh scrubs. Microneedling can help with acne scarring, but timing and technique matter. Jacqueline has worked with all skin types and knows how to treat sensitive or problematic skin safely. You’re not going to leave with more issues than you came in with.
We focus on medical-grade skincare treatments like HydraFacial, microneedling, chemical peels, and Botox. If you’re searching for threading near me or brow threading near me, we’re not a traditional beauty shop or parlour—we’re a clinical skincare spa that treats deeper skin concerns with advanced techniques.
That said, we do offer dermaplaning, which removes fine facial hair along with dead skin for an incredibly smooth finish. It’s not the same as threading, but it does address unwanted peach fuzz while also improving texture and product absorption. Many clients love it as part of a HydraFacial or as a standalone treatment before events.
If you’re looking for a facial spa near Middlesex that goes beyond surface treatments and actually improves skin health, we’re the right place. For traditional threading or salon services, you’d want to look for a beauty shop or parlour that specializes in those specific services. Wake Skincare is built around results-driven skincare, not quick beauty touch-ups.
