Glacial Rx For Melasma and Rosacea | As Seen in Cincinnati Magazine
Mona Dermatology in Kenwood is the first practice in Ohio to offer a revolutionary new treatment, Glacial Rx, for melasma and rosacea. This patented technology harnesses the power of cold to reduce redness, accelerate exfoliation, fight inflammation, brighten skin, and decrease hyperpigmentation.
“I am so excited to offer our patients the first and only treatment that can actually decrease inflammation to treat concerns such as rosacea and melasma. My first GlacialRx treatment was such a soothing and calming experience that I was looking forward to my next one and I know that you will love it too.” – Dr. Mona
How does it work? Glacial Rx improves your skin both on the surface level and deep into your cells. At the surface, the treatment will exfoliate to clear away dead skin and promote the generation of new skin. But below the surface, the cooling technology within the treatment helps to both fight inflammation and decrease stubborn pigment. In our skin, we have proteins that “tell” (or signal) our cells to either create or reduce inflammation. The Glacial Rx works by actually reducing the inflammatory signals and increasing the anti-inflammatory signals within our skin. In addition, the treatment also prevents the production of melanin, which produces pigment that causes the sun spots on our skin we begin to see as we get older. The combination of these two actions results in reduced redness and brown spots, as well as overall brighter and younger-looking skin.
Patients will begin to see improvements in their skin after just one treatment with progressively improving results over one to two months. Dr. Mona recommends a series of 3 treatments for best results. To learn more about Glacial Rx for melasma and rosacea, visit monadermatology.com or call 513.984.4801.

Your Guide to CoolSculpting: Treatments, Results, and Recovery
How does CoolSculpting Elite work?
CoolSculpting Elite is an FDA-Approved treatment that uses a cooling technology that causes apoptosis, killing unwanted fat cells.This targets the areas of your body that are resistant to diet and exercise or to debulk areas of resistant fat.
How many treatments will you need and how long does it take?
Typically you can expect your appointment to last anywhere from one to two hours. To start your treatment your provider will begin by placing the applicators in the area being treated, then the cooling process will begin. Each area takes anywhere from thirty-five to seventy-five minutes. At Mona Dermatology, we are able to treat multiple areas of the body at the same time, thanks to having two devices.
How does CoolSculpting Elite feel?
First, your trained provider will attach the applicator and you will feel a slight suction. Once the treatment begins you may feel a cool tingling feeling that will last for about five minutes. The area you are having treated will go numb, amking the rest of the procedure is pretty comfortable. Overall the treatment is fairly comfortable. Commonly patients will read a book, watch a movie, or work on their phone or laptop, depending on the position they are in.
Is there downtime?
After your treatment is finished you may experience numbness in the treated area. How long the numbness lasts is patient dependent. You may also experience swelling, tenderness, or in rare cases bruising for about a week after your treatment.

Plump, Lift, and Restore: Filler for Facial Volume
As we begin to age you may start to notice volume loss in your face; this is due to the decrease of your collagen and elastin production. When you begin to lose volume in the face you may notice areas tend to hollow out or your skin may begin sagging. At Mona Dermatology, we use filler treatments to help with areas where you may be experiencing volume loss such as the cheeks, temples, or under the eyes. Filler allows us to replace lost volume and restorethat youthful shape to your face in a natural-looking way.
WHY DOES VOLUME LOSS IN THE FACE OCCUR?
Volume loss is unfortunately a part of our natural aging process; you may notice changes to your facial shape as you begin to age. While this is a normal process of aging, injectable treatment options such as fillers are great for targeting these concerns. At Mona Dermatology, we start every treatment with a full-facial assessment. Whether you are treating one area or multiple, we will assess your facial anatomy in the same way. Though injectables will not be able to treat everything you may be concerned about, they are still an amazing tool to help give your face that youthful look.
HOW LONG WILL MY RESULTS LAST?
Typically most patients’ filler results will last anywhere between 8-18 months. This is patient dependent, though, as everyone metabolizes filler differently. We love filler treatments because you are able to see instant results right after treatment. Your results will continue to improve over the next few days as the filler settles in and attracts water.
VOLUME LOSS BEFORE & AFTER
We used a combination of Juvéderm Voluma XC & Vollure XC to restore lost volume to her cheeks, chin, lips, and mouth.
We used 1 syringe of Juvederm Voluma XC to her temples & piriform, 1 syringe of Voluma XC to her cheeks & chin, 1 syringe of Volbella XC to her chin, mouth corners, & necklace lines. As well as 1 round of Kybella treatment to her jowls and chin.

Expanding on her insights revealed in the interview with Byrdie, Dr. Bowles is sharing the inside scoop on these two treatments and how you can choose which one is best for you.
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses a laser (also known as concentrated beams of light) to remove unwanted hair. The laser emits light that is absorbed by the pigment (or melanin), found in the hair follicles, which in turn delays future hair growth.
What Is Waxing?
Waxing is a semi-permanent hair removal method that is easy and efficient, leaving the skin feeling smooth and soft. Waxing allows for a more effective removal of the entire hair with the root, from the follicle, as opposed to shaving. There are different types of wax such as:
Soft wax, also known as strip waxing
Hard wax, which is directly applied onto the skin, cooled for a few minutes, and then pulled and removed in the opposite direction of the hair growth
Fruit wax, which works well for sensitive skin
Chocolate wax which works well for skin prone to irritation and redness
Sugar wax, a more natural option for hair removal for people with sensitive skin
What results to expect for both?
The most major difference is that laser hair removal is semi-permanent or in some cases permanent. Waxing must be performed regularly as the hair regrows. Each process of hair removal has its own benefits and drawbacks in terms of lasting quality, effectiveness, and potential side effects.
Laser hair removal offers a long-term reduction in hair growth and precision targeting of unwanted hair. Plan for several treatments, typically 5-8, for optimal reduction; and maintenance treatments every year or so. Laser hair removal has minimal discomfort and temporary redness or swelling in the treated area. In some cases, skin pigmentation or scarring can occur during and after the procedure. However, seeing a well-trained provider will reduce this risk as they will be able to choose the proper laser and settings for your skin tone. They can also perform a spot test when necessary.
Waxing on the other hand provides immediate results, with smoother skin right after the procedure. However, the results from waxing are temporary in that hair usually grows back within a few weeks. Waxing can be painful, especially with sensitive skin. It can cause side effects such as redness, skin irritation, and ingrown hairs.
What skin or hair types are best for laser hair removal vs. waxing?
People with lighter pigmented hair such as blonde or red, are not a candidate for laser hair removal. This is because the laser targets the pigment in the hair follicle and lighter hair types lack the pigment needed for the laser to work. Waxing or plucking is a good choice for people with this hair type. Individuals with darker hair are good candidates for laser hair removal. It is very important to note that plucking or waxing hair prior to a laser hair removal session is not recommended. This removes the hair follicle entirely, so there is nothing for the laser to target. Dermaplaning or shaving prior to laser hair removal is recommended though, as treating an area with long hair can impede the laser’s ability to get into the follicle.
In contrast, waxing comes in different forms that can be used for hair removal, depending on an individual’s preference. Soft wax, also known as strip waxing, is ideal for removing tiny, fine strands of hair you can’t see. It is usually used on larger areas of the body, applied directly to the skin, and removed by a strip of cloth. Hard wax is used for smaller and more sensitive areas like the upper lip, underarms, and bikini area. This form of wax is applied warm and directly on the skin, and once hardened, is peeled off. Fruit wax is similar to hard body wax but is recommended mostly for people with sensitive skin.
What is the pain level for both treatments?
When it comes to laser hair removal, the pain level or discomfort is usually tolerable for most individuals. Most people feel a mild stinging or tingling sensation during the procedure. Sometimes we will use topical numbing cream in certain areas to provide more comfort. Waxing, on the other hand, is generally considered more painful. This is especially true in areas of the body like the bikini area, underarms, and upper lip that are more sensitive.
What is the cost for both treatments?
The cost of a laser hair treatment really depends on two factors, treatment area and permanence. Typically, larger treatment areas like the back or legs can cost more than smaller areas. While laser hair removal is a more permanent option than waxing, you will still have to get some maintenance treatments. If you follow your complete treatment plan, including maintenance, this could last between 6 to 12 months or longer. This can cost more initially, but can end up being a worthwhile investment down the road. Waxing, on the other hand, is less costly than laser hair removal per treatment. However, waxing is not a permanent hair removal solution. The cost of getting routine wax treatments for several years can end up being more costly than laser treatment in the end.
What is aftercare like for both treatments?
The aftercare for laser hair removal requires individuals to avoid being exposed to the sun, heat, and irritants. This includes hot baths, steam rooms, and saunas. It is also recommended to resist the urge to scratch or pick at the treated area. Similarly, for waxing, individuals are encouraged to avoid sun exposure to prevent sunburn and minimize the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Exfoliating gently, moisturizing regularly, and avoiding tight clothing around the waxed area are also ways to reduce the risk of irritation, redness, and dryness of the skin.
What is the frequency of treatment for both?
Most patients have laser hair removal sessions once every 4 to 6 weeks. This varies depending on the rate of hair regrowth and also on the treatment area. The hair growth cycle for the face is usually faster so patients might start with a visit every 2 weeks. The body, on the other hand, is typically every 4 weeks. Similarly, for waxing, hair growth is faster in areas like the eyebrows, bikini line, and underarms. For these areas, you will require a wax session every 2-3 weeks. The time between sessions allows for the hair to regrow to a waxable length. In contrast, legs will typically require a waxing session every 3 to 5 weeks.
Final Thoughts: Which treatment does Dr. Alexandra recommend?
I would recommend laser hair removal as I feel it is a safe and effective way to provide long lasting hair reduction. While it is an investment upfront, the time and money you would save from years of waxing is something important to consider. I also feel that over-waxing some areas can cause permanent discoloration, while laser hair removal does not do this if the treatments are performed properly. It’s very important to get a consultation with a knowledgeable provider who has treated patients with your skin type and to do a test spot if there is a concern of hyperpigmentation. All in all, laser hair removal is a great choice for everyone!
Tighten, Lift, and Glow: Our Favorite Non-Surgical Tightening Treatments
Get treated with Skin Tightening treatments near me at our Cincinnati, Ohio-based office. Mona Dermatology offers a multitude of skin tightening treatments, anywhere from RadioFrequency Tightening, Microcoring, and Ultrasound Tighetning.
You may notice sagging in your forehead, cheeks, or under the chin as your skin starts to age. This is due to the loss of muscle combined with the breakdown of our collagen. EmFace is a facial tightening treatment that uses the combination of Radiofrequency with high frequency electrical stimulation (HIFES). Our office offers 3 applicators for this treatment including: cheek, forehead, and submental, which are all used to give you a more youthful look.
Ready to say goodbye to your fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, or loose sagging skin? Our office offers a micro-coring device called Ellacor; this device uses hollow needles in a stamping pattern to your skin, removing micro-cores of the skin. This results in tightening of the skin to help with fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and more. If you are looking for a treatment to help with any of the following concerns, plus boost your collagen and elastin production, consider Ellacor. It’s like getting a mini facelift treatment but without the normal downtown of a surgery.
Thermage is a treatment we have at our office to target concerns of aging around your eyes. If you have concerns with hooding on your upper part of your eyes or fine lines and crepiness shown on your lower lids, consider Thermage. This anti-aging treatment prevents and slows down the aging process around your eyes. By using radiofrequency, this treatment is able to tighten and contour the loose skin around your eyes without surgery.
Ultrasound Tightening is used to slow down the aging process through a non-surgical treatment. At our office we use a specific Ultrasound device called Sofwave. This device is used to help lift and tighten your skin in a natural way through pulses of energy that will form low-level focused heat delivered beneath the skin’s surface. This will then create new collagen production resulting in tightening the skin itself. Most patients will gradually see their results improve over the course of 3 to 6 months.
RF Microneedling (RF) treatment uses ultra fine needles that will create micro-injuries while delivering radiofrequency energy to the perfect depth in the skin. Not only will this treatment tighten and improve your skin’s texture, it will also help with collagen and elastin reproduction. At Mona Dermatology all of our providers are MD’s, PA’s, or NP’s and go through extensive training on all our laser and light treatments. This will allow you to feel confident in your provider and the treatment they performing for you.
Emsculpt Neo is the first and only non-invasive treatment that provides simultaneous fat elimination & muscle building. Get treated with Emsculpt near me at our Cincinnati, Ohio-based office.
How does EmSculpt Neo Work?
EmSculpt Neo treatment is a body sculpting technology that uses the combination of RadioFrequency to target fat reduction and rebuild muscles with a High Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy. This targets 90% of the muscles with a high frequency electro-magnetic energy. We have been offering this treatment at our office since 2021. Did you know traditional exercise methods only target 40-60% of your muscles? Clinical studies have shown an average of 25% of muscle growth from EmSculpt Neo treatments.
Are you the right candidate?
Not satisfied with your results from the gym? EmSculpt Neo is a great treatment option for you. If you have BMI (Body mass index) below 35 you would make a great candidate. You will not be considered a candidate if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have metal implants, metallic IUD, pacemaker, defibrillator, or artificial joints. CoolSculpting Elite is an alternative treatment if you are not a candidate.
Why do we love EmSculpt Neo?
EmSculpt Neo combines the benefits of two treatments into one. EmSculpt Neo can reduce your fat up to 30% and increase your muscle up to 25%. This treatment can address 9 different areas on the body to target muscle growth. These areas include the abdomen, arms, buttocks, inner and outer thighs, calves, quadriceps and hamstrings. Your treatment will begin with a series of 4 treatments, spaced one week apart, in the area you want to target. Your provider will create a treatment plan with you, based on your goals and the outcome you are wanting to achieve. The treatment itself is fairly short, only 30 minutes, plus no downtime, which allows you to go back to your daily routine right away after your treatment finishes.

WHAT IS SKINVIVE & HOW DOES IT WORK
The quality of our skin is one of the key indicators for our overall health and youthfulness. For many of the top contributors to skin quality, such as skin tone, texture, and elasticity we already have tools to address them here in our office. But when it comes to hydration, up until now our best options have been topical moisturizers & hydrators, such as SKinMedica’s HA5, or hydrating facial treatments such as Diamond Glow or Oxygen Facial. The issue with all of these options is that they do not provide a long-lasting hydration and only address the top layers of skin. Hydration affects not only the way skin looks and feels, but also how it reacts and behaves. Skinvive is a hyaluonic acid injectable that is placed in the deeper layers of the skin and acts like a long-lasting moisturizer. Skinvive creates a glow and smoothness that lasts up to 6 months!
SKINVIVE CLINICAL STUDIES
Skinvive was studied in 208 patients across all skin types who had moderate to severe loss of overall cheek smoothness, including visible signs such as coarse and uneven skin texture, fine lines, and loss of elasticity. After being treated with Skinvive, the majority of patients improved by at least one score on the cheek smoothness scale. This means if they started with severe loss of smoothness, they improved to show only moderate or minimal loss of smoothness post-treatment. This improvement also persisted for 6 months. When asked to rate their skin at 3 months post-treatment, 84% saw an improvement in overall skin health, 74% saw improvement in radiance, 78% saw improvement in hydration, and 79% felt their skin looked more refreshed. Other notable improvements included pore appearance, skin tone and color, smoothness, morning appearance, and end of day appearance.
WHAT TO PAIR WITH YOUR SKINVIVE TREATMENT
The best way to create plump, glowing skin is by addressing hydration within all layers of the skin. Topical skincare products are great for hydrating the top layer of your skin, known as the epidermis. Some of our favorites include hyaluronic acid hydrators such as HA5 Rejuvenating Hydrator or HA Immerse Serum. Using a moisturizer daily will also help to lock in moisture and protect your skin barrier; some of our best-sellers include SkinMedica Rejuvenative Moisturizer, SkinMedica Ultra Sheer Moisturizer, and SkinMedica Dermal Repair Cream. The next layer in your skin is known as the Dermo-epidermal junction. The best way to address this layer is with treatments that can infuse more deeply into the skin, such as the Diamond Glow Hyaluronic Acid Serum treatment. Lastly, by injecting Skinvive into the deep dermis, you will have incorporated hyaluronic acid to all layers of the skin.

What Goes Into the Cost of Botox — and Why It’s Worth It
You’ve probably heard of Botox before and you may have even considered it for correcting your lines and wrinkles. Many factors contribute to your total Botox cost for a treatment, including what areas are being treated, how the Botox is priced (unit vs area) and the experience of your injector. We are breaking down the most frequently asked questions about Botox cost. That way, you can decide if it is right for you.
What is Botox?
Botox Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is a quick, non-surgical injection that temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles, resulting in a desirable, smooth appearance. Providers use Botox to both prevent the formation of wrinkles and to correct existing fine lines and wrinkles. Popular treatment areas include crow’s feet, frown lines (glabella), forehead lines, nose or ”bunny” lines, lip or “smokers” lines, chin, neck (platysmal) bands, and more.
Why Should I Get Botox?
Using skin care such as Sunscreen, Growth Factors, Retinoids and Antioxidants can help prevent aging and improve the appearance of your fine lines and wrinkles. However, they cannot compare to the effectiveness of Botox, especially for the deeper lines that can form. By reducing your muscle movement in key areas, you are able to stop the wrinkle from forming and deepening in the first place. Botox treatment paired with a high-quality skincare routine will provide you with the best results. You can learn more about Botox and if you may be a candidate on our Botox page.
How Much Botox Will I Need?
Injectors measure Botox in units. The number of units needed depends on the area you are treating, the results you want, and the strength of your muscles in the treatment area. For example, here are the Botox cost ranges for a few of our most popular treatment areas:
Frown Lines (Glabella): 14-20 Units
Crows Feet: 6-20 Units
Forehead: 4-20 Units
“Lip Flip”: 2-4 Units
It is important to work with a skilled injector for your treatment. Too few units will not give you the results you need. Too many units will give you the “frozen” look that many patients fear. The good news is that Dr. Mona is a national trainer for Allergan (the maker of Botox) and Mona Dermatology is one of the top injectable practices in the country (administering over 30,000 units per year).
Botox Cost by Unit vs. Botox Cost By Area
To ensure you are getting the most fair pricing and best value for your Botox, it is a good idea to have your treatment done at an office that prices their Botox by the unit. Some practices will charge you by the area, based on an average amount needed. The problem with this pricing model is that if you are receiving fewer units than are needed on average, you are actually overpaying for your Botox. Be aware of Botox that has been highly discounted. It may be overdiluted and will not target specific muscles as accurately. While it may cost you less per unit, you are likely receiving less of the Botox in each unit and will need more units as a result. Also, remember that you are not only paying for the Botox when you are paying for your units. You are also paying for the experience of your injector. A highly-skilled provider is likely to charge more per unit than one who is just starting out. If the Botox price seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Calculating Your Botox Cost
To estimate how much your Botox treatment will cost you, multiply the total number of units needed by the cost per unit. Currently, the list price for Botox at Mona Dermatology is $14/unit. For example, a patient has decided after their consultation [link] that they will need 20 units of Botox:
(20 units of Botox) x ($14 per unit) = Total Cost
How Much Will My Botox Cost Per Year?
The length of time that your Botox will last before wearing off can vary from one person to another. In general, most patients will need another treatment in about 3-6 months. If you are unsure if Botox is right for you, it may be best to start with one or two areas that bother you the most. This will help you learn more about the treatment from experience and build a relationship with your injector. To learn more about Botox cost and if Botox is right for you, schedule a consultation.
