Antioxidants in skin care products help protect the skin's surface from oxidative damage, free radicals and environmental factors like pollution, lifestyle habits, sun exposure and stress. When free radicals attack the skin it contributes to loss of elasticity, fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, acne and loose, saggy skin.
A body peel is a mild skin-resurfacing procedure that uses the application of different chemical solutions along with exfoliation techniques to soften and rejuvenate the skin by removing old and dead layers of skin cells. This helps to promote new growth and enhanced texture of the skin.
Sometimes referred to as a chemical peel, this procedure can help to tighten and firm the skin while simultaneously exfoliating, resulting in a noticeable renewal of the skin.Although chemical peels are used mostly on the face, they can also be used to improve the skin on other parts of the body. During the body peel procedure, chemical solutions are carefully applied to the skin to improve the texture by removing damaged outer layers.

A chemical peel is a cosmetic rejuvenation treatment that removes damaged skin on the face, neck and chest to restore the skin back to it's youthful glow. Specific acids are used to treat fine lines and wrinkles, uneven pigment, improve tone and texture and reduce mild scarring. The result is smoother, more radiant skin.
Dermaplaning, often called blading or microplaning is a cosmetic procedure that uses an exfoliating tool to remove dead skin cells and bothersome peach fuzz from your face. During this professional treatment, a sterile surgical-grade scalpel glides in small strokes leaving the skin ultra smooth, fresh and glowing.

Terra really is the best of the best. I was dealing with moderate to severe hormonal acne when I first saw her, and after several microneedling and chemical peel treatments, my skin is DRASTICALLY better than it used to be and I rarely break out. My mom has seen Terra for anti-aging treatments and has had great results as well. I know what it's like to have adult acne and feel like there is no end in sight, but I think it all comes down to finding the right esthetician... and I am so, so glad that I found Terra!

I've only seen Terra twice for my hormonal acne and Im already seeing amazing results-- totally recommend! I had visited another aesthetician who didn't know how to deal with darker more sensitive skin but Terra was able to jump right in and my before and after photos after just one month made me tear up. I have several more appointments to go but I've only had a positive experience/results thus far.

I’m really glad I found Terra. She dramatically improved my skin in a single visit and then followed up with me several times afterwards to make sure I was using the products correctly and following her plan for my skin. This level of service I certainly did not expect but it made a huge difference. She’s the best.

I highly recommend Terra and 512 Skin Care. She was referred to me by a friend and I have seen her several times for micro needling and chemical peels. My skin looks great, all at a reasonable price. Terra is concerned about my pain level, which is minimal and makes me laugh through the procedure which helps too! You can't go wrong with Terra and 512 Skin Care.

I first visited 512 Skincare after purchasing a donated gift certificate at nonprofit charity event. I was so impressed that I immediately made another appointment. I have now been a customer for about 5 years. She is a true professional in every sense of the word. Great communication but what keeps me coming back is that she waits until my appointment to decide what I need done. I appreciate that so much as it’s a real time decision! My skin is in fantastic shape thanks to her treatments! I have referred her to numerous friends who also have found her to be amazing! Her prices are beyond fair

I am thrilled that a friend introduced me to Terra. She is amazing!! Not only is she professional and informative, her personality puts you at ease. She takes her time, explains everything and is personable. More importantly though is the thoughtfulness put into her clients’ needs. She is progressive with her treatments; you can tell she is an expert in her field and takes the time to truly map out a game plan that will work best for you. I have been seeing Terra for about a year and am thrilled to be able to confidently walk out of my house without any make-up. Not only is she incredible at

I don't usually write reviews but sometimes a person providing an exceptional service comes along and you have to tell the world. Terra is that person! I'm in my late early 60's and my skin looks amazing! I've been going to Terra for a little over 5 years. Dermaplane, peels, eyebrow tints, needling, hydration you name it she is an expert with a light touch. I wouldn't trust my face to anyone else! Her advice on my daily routine as well as the services and products she provides has made my skin look years younger. No more heavy make up for me, just a tint and a finishing powder and my skin looks

I don’t like to wear makeup and thanks to Terra, I’m in my early 40s and I still get away with it! I’ve been going to Terra for facials for 10+ years. She is excellent at what she does, has a deep passion for skin care and soooo much knowledge of products and what will works best for your skin type. My entire skin care routine at home is thanks to her recommendations and the products she sends me home with. I will be going to her for many years to come and hope I can get away with no makeup in my 50s, 60s and beyond!

I've been going to see Terra for several years now!
I will never trust anyone else with my skin care nor will I ever go anywhere else!
She is extremely knowledgeable, very professional and very honest !
My skin never looked this good before I met her!
I am a woman, of a particular age, and people think I am younger because of the way my skin looks!
I have Terra to thank for that!

I found Terra on her website 8 years ago. My skin just wasn’t looking healthy although I was visiting a facialist regularly. 8years later, I am often asked about my skincare regimen/products, and always give Terra full credit for the condition of my skin.
What is so incredibly great about Terra is first and foremost, she deeply cares about her clients. She is a lifelong learner and is constantly searching for best practices, innovative products and tools to share with her people. And she always shares names of other practitioners of health and wellness with all of us in the community she has

Terra is so soo great. You feel like you're just chatting with a girlfriend while she's working her magic... you don't even realize you've been exfoliated, peeled, wrinkle treated, corrected and hydrated in the process.
Everyone leaves her space smiling, and usually with a hug. If you are one of the luckies that can get in to see her, your skin will never be the same.

This place is awesome! I've come for facials, peels, waxing, and eyelash tinting. I'm always happy with the outcome and my skin has been so much better since I started going. All the products I get from her are super good, they are not overpriced and really do work. After years of trying these services all around Austin I'm thankful to have finally find a place I love. Hurry up and book your appointment!

I am hesitant to write a review only because I don't want her entirely impossible to get into. Everyone I have referred to her have become regulars -she is just that good! (And also a really really awesome person- so sweet and fun to talk to).
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. It is totally changing my skin tone, texture, and brightness. I cannot say enough nice things about Terra and her skin techniques! I have been to many many facialists. I am obsessed with

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.

I'm embarrassed it's taken me so long to write a review for Terra. I've been with her for over a year, and she has made my skin the best it's ever been. I used to suffer from acne and overall uneven skin tone. Well, not any more.
She truly provides an individualized experience. So much thought is put into her skin care, and it REALLY pays off for her clients. She is honest about what you need/don't need, she checks up regularly after every appointment and she is genuinely dedicated to providing superior service. Not to mention, she has perfect skin and is herself gorgeous

If you're having skin issues, Terra is a godsend. I went to see her not long after my 24th birthday because some serious "adult skin issues" were creeping up. I'd had some facials at spas, but they always seemed to focus on relaxation rather than effectiveness and I wanted something legit where I would see an actual difference. This led to me to Terra, and I seriously have had the best skin in my life since seeing her.
She is totally understanding to what you want out of your appointments, listens to your skin problems, and then strategizes on how to banish them. Terra has

Terra is one of my favorite human beings. Not only is she just a genuine sweetheart, she is a skin care goddess.
I've been going to Terra for the past year. When I moved to Austin, I was amazed that my usually perfect skin (don't hate, California has a great climate) had decided to pull a Carrie on me and go to complete hell. A regular (now semi-regular due to my consistently packed grad school schedule) series of peels, dermaplaning, and facials with Terra, as well as using the recommended products, has saved my skin. I'm glowy and almost entirely zit-free. Did I mention she&apos

I have a touch of adult acne, scars from years fo teenage acne, hyperpigmentation, you name it. I was searching Yelp one day for peels (since using Retin A and a few other scrips from the derm my skin has cleared up mostly but looks dull and just a bit sad) and happened upon Terra and her abundance of 5 star reviews. I'm so glad I did!
I saw her about a month ago after looking at my face in a panic (too much time in the sun during late spring had turned me all sorts of colors) and showed up with a request to "burn my face off and start over." She did extractions (including nagging
