Hear from Our Customers
You’ve tried the drugstore creams. You’ve adjusted your routine. Maybe you’ve even spent money on facials that felt nice but didn’t actually change anything.
Here’s what’s different: treatments built around what your skin needs right now, not a one-size-fits-all menu. Whether you’re dealing with stubborn acne scars, uneven tone from sun damage, or fine lines that showed up faster than you expected, our approach starts with understanding what’s underneath. That’s where real change happens.
HydraFacial treatments combine deep cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration in one session. You see the difference within an hour. Your skin looks clearer, feels smoother, and actually glows without a filter. No downtime. No redness that lasts for days. Just results you can see before you leave.
We opened in Wake Forest just two weeks before everything shut down in 2020. When the world reopened, demand came fast—because people in Smithfield, Raleigh, and across Wake County were ready to invest in their skin again.
Jacqueline Grace holds HydraFacial Master Certification, one of the first hundred practitioners worldwide to earn it. She’s also taken first place internationally in the Pigmentation Artist of the Year category at The Skin Games. That’s not luck—it’s precision, training, and thousands of hours working with real skin concerns.
Every consultation is free. Every treatment plan is built specifically for you. And every service is backed by someone who’s proven they know what they’re doing.
You start with a consultation. Not a sales pitch—an actual conversation about what’s going on with your skin and what you want to change. Jacqueline uses advanced skin analysis technology to detect issues you might not even see yet: dehydration, congestion, early pigmentation, texture changes.
From there, you get a treatment plan. Maybe that’s a single HydraFacial before an event. Maybe it’s a series of microneedling sessions to address scarring or deeper concerns. Either way, you know what to expect, how long it takes, and what results look like.
During the treatment, everything is explained. You’re not left wondering what’s happening or why. The process is transparent, the products are medical-grade, and the focus is always on what works—not what sounds impressive. Most clients from Smithfield schedule follow-ups every four to six weeks once they see how their skin responds.

We offer HydraFacial, SkinPen microneedling, chemical peels, dermaplaning, and brow threading—all customized based on your skin type and goals. If you’re coming from Smithfield, you’re about 30 minutes from our Wake Forest location, and the drive is worth it when you’re working with someone who’s certified at the highest level.
HydraFacial is our most requested service because it works on all skin types and delivers immediate visible results. It’s not just a facial—it’s a treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates using medical-grade serums. You walk out with skin that looks healthier, feels softer, and photographs better.
For clients dealing with acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, or signs of aging, microneedling and chemical peels offer deeper correction. These aren’t quick fixes, but they’re proven methods that stimulate collagen production and cell turnover. Smithfield clients often combine treatments for faster, more dramatic improvement. You also get access to professional-grade skincare products that actually support the work being done during your appointments—not just expensive packaging.
Most people see results for four to six weeks after a single HydraFacial. Your skin looks clearer, feels smoother, and has that glow people notice. But the best improvements happen between weeks six and twelve if you’re getting treatments regularly.
Think of it like working out. One session feels great and shows results. Consistent sessions build on each other and create lasting change. If you’re dealing with acne, congestion, or dullness, monthly treatments give your skin the reset it needs to stay ahead of buildup and damage.
For clients coming from Smithfield who are prepping for an event—wedding, reunion, big presentation—booking your HydraFacial a few days before gives you that fresh, camera-ready look without any downtime or risk of irritation.
A regular facial at most beauty shops focuses on relaxation: steam, massage, a mask, maybe some extractions. It feels nice, but it’s not designed to correct skin issues or deliver measurable change. Medical-grade treatments use clinical-strength products and advanced techniques that actually penetrate deeper layers of your skin.
At Wake Skincare, every facial spa service is built around results. HydraFacials use patented technology and medical-grade serums. Chemical peels are customized to your skin’s tolerance and goals. Microneedling stimulates real collagen production, which you can’t get from a standard facial.
You’re also working with a licensed esthetician who’s trained in medical aesthetics and backed by one of the most respected medical directors in the Triangle. That means safer treatments, better outcomes, and someone who knows when to adjust based on how your skin responds.
Yes. In fact, that’s exactly the type of skin that benefits most from a customized approach. Sensitive and acne-prone skin doesn’t respond well to generic treatments or harsh products, which is why so many people give up after a bad experience.
HydraFacials are gentle enough for sensitive skin but effective enough to clear congestion, reduce inflammation, and calm redness. The treatment is fully customizable—Jacqueline adjusts the serums, suction strength, and exfoliation level based on what your skin can handle. No irritation. No breakouts afterward. Just clean, hydrated skin.
If you’re dealing with active acne, treatments can include extractions, antibacterial serums, and LED light therapy to kill bacteria and speed healing. For clients in Smithfield struggling with rosacea or reactive skin, the focus shifts to barrier repair and calming ingredients that reduce sensitivity over time.
HydraFacial treatments typically range from $150 to $300 depending on what’s included and whether you’re adding boosters like growth factors or LED therapy. More intensive treatments like microneedling or chemical peels can run higher, especially if you’re addressing deeper concerns like scarring or pigmentation.
Here’s the real question: what’s it worth to you to actually see results? A $30 facial at a chain salon might feel relaxing, but it won’t change your skin. You’ll spend that money every month and still deal with the same issues. Medical-grade treatments cost more upfront because they’re using better technology, better products, and better training.
Most Smithfield clients who commit to a treatment plan say they wish they’d started sooner. They’re spending less on products that don’t work, they’re wearing less makeup, and they’re getting compliments on their skin instead of covering it up. That’s worth more than the price tag.
Before your appointment, avoid any harsh exfoliants, retinoids, or active ingredients for at least three days. If you’re getting a chemical peel or microneedling, you’ll get specific pre-treatment instructions during your consultation. The goal is to make sure your skin is calm and ready to respond well.
After your facial spa treatment, your skin will be more receptive to products—and more vulnerable to sun damage. Wear SPF every day, even if it’s cloudy. Avoid heavy workouts, saunas, or anything that causes excessive sweating for 24 hours. Skip the retinol and acids for a few days unless Jacqueline tells you otherwise.
Most people from Smithfield schedule their appointments in the late afternoon or early evening so they can go home, relax, and let their skin settle. You’ll get a customized aftercare plan based on what treatment you received and what your skin needs to heal and maintain results.
Because you’re not just looking for a facial—you’re looking for someone who knows what they’re doing and has the results to prove it. We’re not a franchise or a beauty shop offering facials as a side service. We’re a medical-grade skincare spa run by someone who’s been recognized as the best in Wake County three years in a row.
Jacqueline holds HydraFacial Master Certification, which puts her in the top tier of practitioners worldwide. She’s won international competitions for her work in pigmentation correction. She’s trained in New York, certified in advanced treatments, and backed by a respected medical director. That level of expertise doesn’t exist everywhere.
Smithfield clients make the drive because they’ve tried other places and didn’t get results. They’re tired of wasting money on treatments that don’t work or feeling like they’re just another appointment. Here, you get a free consultation, a personalized plan, and someone who actually cares whether your skin improves. That’s worth 30 minutes in the car.
