One of the most effective, affordable and popular ways to turn back the hands of time are chemical peels. With all of the new technologies used today, it can be easy to forget that there are outstanding ways to refresh the skin without lasers or light therapies.

​

At Ithaca Medical Aesthetics, we offer chemical peels with a variety of ingredients to remove damaged outer layers of skin and rejuvenate the face, neck, décolleté, back and hands. This method of treatment removes the outer layer of skin cells, those that block pores, trap bacteria, and steal your vibrant complexion.

​

We use medical grade chemical peels from Glytone by Enerpeel®— Glytone combines pharmaceutical expertise with cosmo-dermatological excellence to create targeted and transforming skin solutions for healthy, radiant skin. Our hand-picked peels are base on your skin type and sensitivity, our expert providers will choose the chemical peel that is right for you.

How it works:

​

Each procedure is non-invasive and formulated with active chemical exfoliants packed with powerful acids to penetrate the skin for consistent, reliable exfoliation and long-lasting, visible results.

 

Peels effectively speed up the process of cellular turnover by shedding the top layer of dead surface cells, revealing brighter, smoother and renewed skin underneath.

​

Each peel procedure takes around 20 minutes depending on the type of peel and number of layers applied. During the procedure, a mild tingling, itching or heating sensation may be temporarily experienced.

Why Treating Connected Areas Makes Sense

​

By treating your hands, arms and chest the same as you do your face, you’ll keep a much more “together” look. 

​

Aging and sun damage show in more places than just your face. By treating your hands, arms and chest the same as you do your face, you’ll keep a much more “together” look.

​

No matter what chemical peel you choose, it is vital that you follow strict adherence to a sun protection program to maintain your results and prevent unwanted pigment changes. Medical chemical peels need to be correctly chosen for your skin type and condition and should be administered in a physician’s office. Exact combinations and formulations will provide safe and long lasting results.

​

​

The best results are usually achieved through periodic treatment.  Our clinicians can help create a chemical peel schedule that will work with your lifestyle and budget.
