Rooted in Skin. Focused on Life.
At Elysara Ithaca (formerly Galvanic Life) our journey continues with new leadership and the same dedication to redefining skincare and functional medicine. For the past five years, Galvanic served as a trusted space for those seeking more than quick fixes. Today, as Elysara Ithaca, we remain rooted in our integrative approach—addressing the deep connections between sleep, metabolism, hormones, nutrition, and stress. We blend modern innovation with regenerative therapies to support sustainable, graceful aging and longevity. Our new ownership structure and leadership are here to serve all patients.
