Tier 1 Chemical Peel | Austin, Texas

Fresher skin, with little to no downtime

Our Tier 1 peel is a light enzyme/chemical exfoliation designed to refresh dull skin with little to no downtime. In about 30 minutes, you'll leave with smoother, healthier-looking skin and a natural glow. Most experience only mild dryness for a day or two, making this an ideal treatment before events or as part of a regular skincare routine. This may be added on to dermaplaning and our signature facials.

This gentle peel lightly exfoliates the skin to remove buildup, improve texture, restore radiance, and allows for better home care product penetration without the extended recovery associated with stronger peels. Suitable for all skin types- including sensitive skin. It may be performed throughout the year and pairs well with a consistent skincare regimen to help maintain healthy, glowing skin.

What it is

A gentle chemical peel for brighter, healthier-looking skin

A light chemical peel that refreshes dull, tired-looking skin with minimal exfoliation and little to no downtime.

The tier 1 peel is our gentlest chemical peel, designed to refresh and brighten the skin with minimal visible exfoliation and little to no downtime. By removing the outermost layer of dull, dry skin, the light chemical peel helps reveal a smoother texture, a healthier glow, and a more radiant complexion while keeping your skin barrier comfortable.

Whether you're new to chemical peels, have sensitive skin, or simply want to maintain healthy skin, the tier 1 peel is an excellent option.

Sensitive skin

Minimal exfoliation keeps the barrier comfortable, so reactive skin tolerates it well.

Your first peel

If you've never had a chemical peel, Tier 1 lets you see how your skin responds, with little to no visible flaking.

A light refresh

Dull, dehydrated, or mildly congested skin that needs brightening, not correcting.

Ongoing maintenance

Gentle enough to repeat regularly, in any season, to keep the results you already have.

Not for deeper correction

Set pigmentation, rough texture, and mild scarring live in Tier 2 and Tier 3 territory. The consultation sorts out which tier your skin actually needs.

What to expect

Simple treatment. No downtime.

Tier 1 chemical peel is a quick, comfortable treatment that takes approximately 20-30 minutes. Most experience little to no downtime, with only mild dryness over a couple days.

Your appointment takes about 20-30 minutes, and most people experience little to no downtime, with only mild dryness for a day or two. You'll leave with personalized aftercare and ongoing support if questions arise.


  • Wear sunscreen every day.

  • Stay out of direct sun while your skin recovers.

  • Skip harsh actives for a few days.

  • Keep everything gentle: cleanse softly, hydrate well.

  • Let any flakes shed on their own. Do not pick; picking risks scarring.

Beyond thrilled with my results with Terra! I started seeing her for my acne and cannot believe how my skin has cleared with her advice, products, and extractions.

I have been going to see Terra for facials, chemical peels and eyebrow tinting for a little over a year now. She has been nothing but professional and knowledgeable about every aspect of skin care.

She has transformed my skin. I go to her for peels, derma-planing and latest- micro needling. All of it is sooo wonderful. But I am now obsessed with micro-needling.
