Glacial Rx: Melasma and Rosacea Treatment
As seen in the December 2022 issue of 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.
