Visible improvement . Predictable downtime

The middle tier

The right balance of correction

A moderate peel for the concerns a light refresh won't move.

Tier 2 is often the right choice when a light peel isn't enough, but a more intensive peel doesn't fit into your lifestyle or necessary. It provides controlled exfoliation to encourage healthy skin renewal, helping improve discoloration, uneven texture, early signs of aging, and mild post inflammatory pigmentation. We will recommend the peel that best matches your goals and explain exactly what to expect before, during and after the treatment.

Pigmentation

Stubborn, uneven discoloration is one of the main reasons we reach for Tier 2.

Texture and mild scarring

Roughness and shallow scarring are what the moderate exfoliation is there to treat.

Signs of aging

Tier 2 works on the visible signs of aging that a lighter peel isn't built to address.

You have a few flexible days

This tier suits clients who want noticeable correction and can plan around three to five days of flaking.

Need zero downtime this week?

A Tier 1 gives a lighter refresh with little to no shedding; the consultation settles which one your skin actually needs.

What to expect

Your skin's renewal begins here

Every chemical peel is followed by a natural healing process that reveals healthier, smoother-looking skin over time.

Before you leave, we will review your personalized aftercare instructions and make sure you know exactly what to expect during recovery. Over the next several days, you skin will naturally renew itself as damaged surface cells shed and healthier skin is revealed. Mild tightness, dryness, and peeling are expected and are a normal part of the process. Because every peel is customized to your skin, your recovery may vary slightly. We will discuss your anticipated healing timeline for your chemical peel recovery and answer any questions before your treatment, so you feel confident every step of the way.

  • Sunscreen, daily

    Wear it every day while your skin turns over, and keep wearing it after.

  • Stay out of direct sun

    Freshly peeled skin and direct sun don't mix.

  • Pause the harsh actives

    Set aside your strong exfoliants and similar products for a few days.

  • Keep it gentle

    Gentle cleansing and hydration are all the routine your skin wants right now.

  • Let the 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.
