Your skin feels different immediately. Smoother. Brighter. The peach fuzz is gone, and your foundation doesn’t cake up in those fine hairs anymore.
Within a few days, you’ll notice your skincare products absorbing better. That expensive serum you’ve been using? It actually penetrates now that the dead skin barrier is removed.
The results last around three weeks. Your skin stays smooth, your makeup application stays flawless, and you’re not dealing with the dullness that comes from built-up dead cells. If you’ve got an event coming up, this is the treatment that delivers visible results the same day without making you look like you had “work done.”
Jacqueline Grace founded Wake Skincare with a focus on treatments that actually work. She’s not just licensed—she’s been recognized three consecutive years as the Best Aesthetician in Wake County and placed first in the Pigmentation Artist of the Year category at The Skin Games, an international competition.
We also hold HydraFacial Master Certification, putting us among the first hundred practitioners worldwide to achieve that level of expertise. That matters because dermaplaning isn’t just about dragging a blade across your face. It’s about understanding skin, knowing the right angle and pressure, and customizing the approach based on what your skin actually needs.
We serve Morrisville and 21 other cities across Wake County. Every treatment starts with a free consultation, so you’re not guessing what your skin needs or paying for services that won’t address your actual concerns.
You start with a consultation. Jacqueline evaluates your skin, talks through what you’re dealing with, and explains what dermaplaning will and won’t do for your specific concerns.
During the treatment, a sterile surgical scalpel is used at a precise angle to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz). It’s not painful. Most people describe it as a light scratching sensation, and the whole process takes about 30 to 45 minutes.
There’s no anesthesia needed, no numbing cream, and no recovery time. You can go straight back to work, run errands, or head to dinner. Your skin might look slightly pink for an hour or two, but that fades quickly.
After your treatment, your skincare routine becomes more effective because products can actually penetrate. Your makeup applies smoother. And you’re not dealing with that dull, textured look that comes from dead skin buildup.
Ready to get started?
Every dermaplaning session at Wake Skincare includes a personalized consultation. You’re not just getting a standard facial—Jacqueline assesses your skin type, concerns, and goals before starting.
The treatment itself removes both dead skin cells and fine facial hair in one session. That means you’re addressing dullness, uneven texture, and the peach fuzz that makes makeup application frustrating. For clients in Morrisville and the surrounding Wake County area, this has become a go-to treatment before weddings, photoshoots, or any event where you need to look polished.
Dermaplaning works for all skin types and tones when performed by a trained professional. It’s especially effective if you’re dealing with sun damage, which is common in North Carolina’s climate. The treatment also helps with the appearance of acne scars, though deeper scarring may need additional care.
You’ll also get guidance on post-treatment skincare. What to use, what to avoid, and how to maintain results. That’s part of the consultation approach—you’re not left guessing what to do after you leave.
No. This is one of the most common concerns, and it’s based on a myth.
Dermaplaning removes vellus hair, which is the fine, soft peach fuzz on your face. Vellus hair is different from terminal hair (like the hair on your head or eyebrows). When you remove vellus hair, it grows back at the same texture, color, and rate it was before. Shaving doesn’t change the structure of the hair follicle.
The reason people think hair grows back thicker after shaving is because of the blunt edge left after cutting. When hair is tapered naturally, it feels softer. When it’s cut, the blunt edge can feel slightly coarser as it grows out. But the actual hair hasn’t changed. It’s the same thickness and color it always was.
Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical scalpel held at a specific angle to exfoliate the skin and remove hair. It’s not the same as using a regular razor.
The technique matters. A trained aesthetician knows how much pressure to apply, what angle to hold the blade, and how to work around the contours of your face without causing irritation or nicks. At-home shaving tools don’t offer the same level of precision, and most people don’t have the training to perform the treatment safely on themselves.
Dermaplaning also removes a deeper layer of dead skin cells than you’d get with a standard razor. That’s why you see immediate brightening and smoothness after a professional treatment. You’re getting exfoliation and hair removal in one session, performed by someone who understands skin anatomy and has done this hundreds of times.
No. You can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment.
Your skin might look slightly pink for an hour or two, similar to how it looks after a workout. That fades quickly. There’s no peeling, no scabbing, and no need to hide indoors while your skin recovers.
You should avoid direct sun exposure for a few days and wear sunscreen, which you should be doing anyway. Your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays right after exfoliation, so SPF 30 or higher is important. Other than that, you’re good to go. Many clients schedule dermaplaning treatments during their lunch break and go right back to work.
It depends on the type and severity of your acne.
If you have active cystic acne or open lesions, dermaplaning isn’t recommended. The treatment could spread bacteria and make breakouts worse. However, if you’re dealing with closed comedones (small bumps under the skin) or occasional breakouts, dermaplaning can actually help by removing the dead skin cells that clog pores.
This is why the consultation matters. Jacqueline evaluates your skin before recommending dermaplaning. If your skin isn’t in the right condition for the treatment, she’ll tell you. There are other options that might work better depending on what’s going on with your skin. The goal is to improve your skin, not create more problems by performing a treatment you’re not ready for.
Most people schedule treatments every three to four weeks.
That timing aligns with your skin’s natural cell turnover cycle, which is about 28 days. By the time dead skin cells have built up again and your vellus hair has grown back, you’re ready for another session.
Some clients come in more frequently before big events—weddings, photoshoots, important meetings. Others maintain a regular monthly schedule as part of their skincare routine. It depends on your goals and how your skin responds. After your first treatment, you’ll have a better sense of how long results last for you specifically.
There’s no risk of over-exfoliating if you stick to the recommended schedule. Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation method, and when performed correctly by a licensed professional, it’s safe to repeat regularly.
Yes. Removing the layer of dead skin cells allows products to penetrate deeper.
When you have a buildup of dead cells on the surface of your skin, serums and moisturizers sit on top instead of absorbing. After dermaplaning, that barrier is gone. Your active ingredients—retinol, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid—can actually reach the deeper layers of skin where they’re supposed to work.
This is one of the reasons people see better results from their existing skincare routine after starting regular dermaplaning treatments. You’re not necessarily using different products. You’re just making the products you already own more effective. That means you might actually save money in the long run because you’re getting more out of what you’re already spending on skincare.
