Face
Are you happy with the face you see in the mirror? Our popular treatments can make a dramatic improvement in your appearance. Isn’t it time to finally put your best face forward?
Botox® is the most popular cosmetic treatment in the United States because of its ability to make you look fresher and more relaxed. Dr. Marie Meyers at Grace & Glam Medical Spa in Cincinnati is an expert at minimizing your wrinkles while retaining a natural look.
What is Botox®?
Botox® is a purified protein which inhibits muscle contraction. Repetitive muscle movements can cause lines to appear on the face, which cause you to look angry, tired, or simply older than your age. By relaxing the muscles, Botox makes the skin appear smoother.
Is Botox® safe?
Botox® has a long safety history. It has been used since 1989 to treat medical conditions such as strabismus (crossed eyes). The FDA approved it for cosmetic use in 2002, and just completed an extensive safety review in which they found no serious complications from the very small cosmetic doses. Millions of patients have now been safely treated.
What about cheaper Botox®?
There are two common reasons why Botox® is sold at bargain basement prices. The first is because it may be diluted. The second and more dangerous reason is because it is not genuine Botox®. Counterfeit Botox® can not only be ineffective, but also dangerous. In November of 2004, four patients became paralyzed after being injected with fraudulent Botox® that was too potent. Non-FDA-approved Botox® may not have been manufactured, stored, or transported under proper conditions. The FDA continues to warn doctors about the dangers of fraudulent Botox®, and a too-good-to-be-true offer probably is. Dr. Meyers only uses genuine Botox®.
What can I expect from Botox® treatments?
Dr. Meyers is very gentle and uses a tiny needle which causes little discomfort. The most common areas treated are between the brows, across the forehead, and along the crow’s feet. A treatment takes less than 10 minutes and there is no downtime. The muscles will begin to relax within 2-7 days, and the effect lasts an average of 4 months. Some people find it lasts longer with repeated treatment.
What about Botox® for migraines?
Botox® has been used for migraine headaches for many years. While not all migraine sufferers are helped by Botox®, it has certainly been a great answer for some patients.
What about Botox® for depression?
Recent studies have suggested a lessening of depression in those treated with Botox®. It is postulated that the inability to frown feeds back to the brain and impacts our emotions. Late-stage clinical trials are now underway to see if Botox® can be clinically recommended as a treatment for depression.
What is the patient satisfaction rate?
In a recent survey, 97% of patients were pleased with the results of their treatments. Book an appointment now and see why so many people love Botox®.
Are you noticing wrinkles and folds on your face, or loss of cheekbone definition? Hesitant to get filler because you have seen so many bad results? All our fillers at Grace and Glam are done by Dr. Marie Meyers, an excellent injector who can take years off your face while retaining a natural look.
What are facial fillers?
Fillers are safe gel-like compounds that minimize wrinkles and add volume. Our fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance in the skin that delivers nutrients and helps the skin retain moisture.
With aging, lines and wrinkles form between the nose and mouth (the parentheses), downward from the corner of the mouth (marionette lines), and around the mouth (smoker’s lines). In addition the cheeks shift downward and lips become thinner. Fillers can easily correct all of these problems.
Which fillers do you use?
Our newest filler, Voluma, has revolutionized the world of fillers. It is given over the cheekbones and acts to subtly lift the cheeks back up to their original contour. In addition to restoring the natural curve of the cheek, the volume helps to decrease lines elsewhere. And as a final bonus, Voluma lasts two years.
We also offer Juvederm, the best selling filler in the country due to the wonderful results it gives. Juvederm is used to eliminate lines on the face and also to restore beautiful fullness to the lips. It lasts about a year, but even after the filler is gone you will retain the new collagen which has formed around it.
How are fillers given?
Fillers are injected with a tiny needle and contain the numbing medicine Lidocaine to minimize discomfort. The area is then gently massaged to ensure a natural look and feel.
When will I see results?
Results are visible immediately and there is no downtime to the treatment.
Why should I come to Grace and Glam for fillers?
Everyone has seen examples of overdone fillers, where people look weird rather than wonderful. Dr. Meyers is one of the best injectors in the area, and goes slowly, with feedback from you during the treatment. She is unusually talented at achieving a natural look, and patients come from long distances to see her. New patients are usually amazed at the improvement, and thrilled to look so much better. A typical comment is, “This is how I looked 10 years ago!”
A HydraFacial® is the treatment that the stars get before a red carpet event. Dr. Marie Meyers at Grace & Glam Medical Spa in Cincinnati offers this soothing treatment which will instantly give you a vibrant, glowing face.
What is a HydraFacial®?
The HydraFacial® treatment deep cleans, exfoliates dead skin cells, and extracts impurities from your face. It then hydrates the clean skin with a serum containing vital nutrients such as antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid.
What can I expect during a HydraFacial® treatment?
The HydraFacial® is a painless, enjoyable treatment that provides amazing results. The 3-step process only takes about 30 minutes and there is no downtime afterwards.
Dr. Meyers and her team at Grace & Glam Medical Spa begin by cleansing the skin and exfoliating dead skin cells. Then a special peel is applied to extract any remaining impurities. Finally a nutrient-infused serum is applied to repair and hydrate the cells.
The HydraFacial® can be tailored to your specific needs, with extra growth factors or brighteners added, or special attention given to the lip or eye area.
What is the satisfaction rate?
Patients love this treatment, and many return monthly because the results are so amazing. You will notice an immediate lessening of fine lines and wrinkles, and dull skin will once again look glowing and healthy. Book an appointment today and find out what the movie stars already know.
Are you looking for an aesthetic treatment that can enhance your looks almost instantly without downtime? Dr. Marie Meyers and her staff offer Dermaplaning to quickly freshen your appearance.
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a comfortable treatment that uses a small sterile blade to remove dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the face.
Is there any downtime?
No, you can go right back to your usual routine.
What are the benefits of Dermaplaning?
By removing the top layer of dead cells, penetration into the skin is enhanced. Thus peels penetrate better, as do the nutrients in a Hydrafacial treatment, or the light in a Laser Genesis procedure. Skin care products are also more effective, and makeup goes on smoother.
How will my skin look afterward?
Skin tone and texture are better, and skin feels soft and smooth. With the dead cells gone, your body will generate new cells which look fresh and bright.
What is the patient satisfaction rate?
This treatment is very popular both on its own and before other treatments. It is safe during pregnancy and great for sensitive skin. Patients love how it leaves their face smooth and glowing.
Do you have large pores, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks? These are just a few of the problems which Dr. Marie Meyers and her team at Grace and Glam can correct with Microneedling. Although needles in the face sound intimidating, your skin is numbed first so the treatment is comfortable.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a remarkable treatment that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, thereby renewing skin naturally from within. It can be performed on all colors and types of skin. For optimal results, a series of 3-6 treatments is recommended.
What are the results?
Microneedling causes skin to tighten, thereby shrinking pores and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. Acne scars are lessened, circulation is stimulated, and the overall health of the skin improves.
How is the treatment done?
A special pen with tiny needles creates micro perforations in the skin. These cause the skin to shift its repair mechanism into high gear, producing collagen and elastin to mend the tiny perforations. In addition, a serum with natural growth factors is infused into the skin. You will leave with some redness resembling a sunburn that will dissipate within 24-48 hours.
What is the satisfaction rate?
Patients are thrilled to see an increase in skin firmness and elasticity, with fewer wrinkles and reduced pore size. Scarring will lessen, pigmentation will decrease, and skin will continue to improve over the next 3-6 months.
Sometimes it is the minor skin irregularities which are the most bothersome.
What is Skin Classic?
Skin Classic is a high frequency treatment for broken capillaries, skin tags, milia, clogged pores, cherry angiomas, sebaceous hyperplasia, or hyperpigmentation.
What are the results?
The imperfections dehydrate and eventually disappear. Skin once again becomes clear and even in tone and texture.
How is the treatment done?
The Skin Classic pen delivers quick and precise pulses of energy to cause vaporization of the desired area.
What is the satisfaction rate?
Patients are surprised at the quickness of the treatment, and thrilled to have unsightly imperfections removed.
If body contouring or cellulite reduction are on your wish list, you have come to the right place. Here at Grace and Glam we have the newest radiofrequency technology which can decrease stubborn pockets of fat while tightening the overlying skin.
What is NuEra® Tight?
NuEra® Tight is a brand new machine which uses radiofrequency waves to deeply heat the skin. This can minimize problem areas, as well as smooth and tighten skin by generating new collagen. Unlike older treatments, this is a comfortable procedure which has been described as similar to a warm massage.
Who can have the treatment?
All skin types can be treated, but not pregnant or nursing mothers or those with a pacemaker or metal implanted device. A full medical history will be reviewed prior to treatment.
Which areas can be treated?
Basically any area can be treated. Popular sites include eyes, jowls, jawline, neck, bra fat, upper arms, elbows, back fat, abdomen, flanks, buttocks, inner or outer thighs, and above the knee.
How is the treatment done?
Any metal jewelry is removed, the skin cleansed, and a gel applied. The treatment head is then gently moved over the skin, producing a gradual warmth. Treatment times vary depending on the area, but are usually between 30-45 minutes. The skin may be slightly reddened afterwards but there is no downtime.
How often are treatments done?
They are usually spaced a week apart, and 4-6 are recommended initially, with a maintenance visit every 6 months.
What are the results?
Body areas are slimmer and tighter, and cellulite smooths out. Needless to say, patients are thrilled with the results.
Would you like a versatile treatment that can target brown pigment, red blood vessels, large pores, acne, and fine wrinkles? IPL may be the perfect solution.
What is IPL?
IPL (Fotofacial) is an FDA-approved non-invasive treatment. Unlike a laser, which has one wavelength of light, IPL uses multiple wavelengths ranging from 400-1200 nm. Our state-of-the-art Lumenis allows specific targeting of the problem which needs to be addressed. For example, with age spots, freckles, or brown discoloration, the light hits melanin. For broken capillaries, rosacea, or redness, the hemoglobin in red blood cells is targeted. In each case, the light selectively seeks out the problem area, while sparing healthy tissue. The body then gradually reabsorbs the damaged fragments, resulting in clearer skin.
What is IPL used for?
IPL can decrease brown pigment, fade red blood vessels, improve acne, and shrink large pores. It is also excellent for improving the look of sun-damaged skin by stimulating collagen production and minimizing fine wrinkles. The overall result is clearer, tighter skin.
Who can have IPL?
IPL cannot be done on darker skin, nor during pregnancy or nursing. Tanned skin cannot be treated, nor can anyone who has taken Accutane (for acne) in the past 6 months. Your full medical history will be reviewed at the time of consult. Also men should be aware that IPL can cause patchy beard growth due to hair loss.
How are the treatments done?
The face, neck, chest, and hands are the areas typically treated. A cold gel is applied, then you will feel a brief snap as the pulse comes through. Most people compare it to the snap of a rubberband. The procedure takes about 30 minutes, and all treatments are done by our experienced doctor.
What about afterwards?
Brown spots may darken and peel off, and tiny capillaries become more visible. However any redness or swelling will quickly decrease, and there is no downtime. Treatments are spaced 3 weeks apart, and results will continue to improve over the following weeks. Typically 3-6 treatments are done initially, with a single followup procedure yearly after that.
What are the results?
Skin tone becomes more even, with a fading of brown spots or red vessels. Acne decreases, pore size shrinks, and skin becomes smoother and more radiant. IPL remains one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures because of the great results it produces.
We are so excited to have the new state-of-the-art ResurFX laser that can tighten skin, even out skin tone, and minimize scars or stretch marks. Would you like a treatment that gives you deep resurfacing results without the long downtime?
What is ResurFX?
ResurFX is an amazing treatment which basically treats your skin from the inside out. It produces tiny columns of thermal destruction down to the dermis. This stimulates your body to repair the damage by producing new collagen and elastin. The treatment is non-ablative and does not remove the top layer of skin, thus lessening downtime, pain, or complications. The revolutionary CoolScan technology also keeps the treatment much more comfortable than older procedures. Since only one pass is needed, both treatment time and side effects are lessened.
What is ResurFX good for?
ResurFX can tighten skin, decrease brown spots or red blood vessels, and minimize acne scars, surgical scars or stretch marks. It is a great rejuvenation treatment to improve pore size, texture and tone. Because it penetrates so deeply, the results can be quite remarkable.
Who is a candidate for ResurFX?
All skin types can be treated, but darker skin requires test spots done several days prior to the procedure. Pregnant and nursing mothers cannot be treated, nor can anyone with tanned skin. Patients who have taken Accutane (for acne) in the past 6 months or who have had skin cancer cannot be treated. Your full medical history will be reviewed at the time of treatment.
What is a treatment like?
Your skin will be cleansed and then the numbing cream applied. You may feel the cold tip of the machine and then a tingle as the pulse comes through. Afterwards you may be a little swollen and reddened, and you may feel some roughness as the skin heals. These effects may last from a few hours to several days, depending on the strength of treatment. All of these treatments are done by our doctor, and the procedure takes only about 30 minutes.
How are treatments spaced?
We recommend 4 weeks between treatments, and some patients like alternating these with IPL treatments monthly. Typically 3-5 treatments are done initially, then one each year after that for maintenance.
What are the results?
Patients are thrilled to have a deep resurfacing treatment that is comfortable, fast, has minimal downtime, and produces beautiful skin.
Laser Genesis is one of the most popular treatments done by Dr. Meyers at Grace & Glam Medical Spa. It minimizes fine lines and wrinkles, reduces scarring, shrinks large pores, and evens out skin tone. In addition, it is FDA-approved to diminish the redness of rosacea.
How does Laser Genesis work?
The laser stimulates collagen production to tighten skin and repair scarring, and breaks down damaged capillaries so they can be reabsorbed by the body.
What is a Laser Genesis treatment like?
The sensation is one of gentle warmth, similar to standing in front of a campfire. It is relaxing and comfortable, so much so that patients sometimes fall asleep. There is no downtime afterwards.
How many Laser Genesis treatments are recommended?
An initial series of 3 is recommended, spaced a month apart. However many patients continue to do the treatments monthly because of the marked improvement in their skin.
What is the satisfaction rate?
Patients love this treatment because it is both comfortable and effective. Call Grace & Glam Medical Spa today or book online and see how much better your skin can look.
One of the tried and true methods for improving skin color and texture is a peel. Dr. Marie Meyers and her staff at Grace and Glam offer customized peels to address your specific concerns and achieve the best results.
How do I know which peel would be helpful?
Your esthetician will customize a treatment plan based on your skin type, concerns, and what improvements you would like to see. We offer a wide range of peels for all skin types, from a very gentle treatment to more aggressive medical grade peels. Some of the imperfections we address include sun damage, pigmentation issues, aging or sluggish skin, scarring, acne, and rosacea.
What peels do you offer?
We offer the SkinMedica Vitalize and Rejuvenize peels, as well as the Obagi Blue Peel Radiance.By adding Dermaplaning before the peel, you will achieve even greater results.
Is there any downtime?
With some peels, about 48-72 hours later you may notice some mild flaking. This could last for up to a week, but does not require any downtime.
What is the patient satisfaction rate?
Peels are so popular because of the results they give. By freeing the skin of dead cells, healthy new cells are allowed to replace them. This results in skin that is softer and smoother, with a more even tone.
How much time do you waste shaving, plucking, and tweezing unwanted hair? Let Dr. Marie Meyers at Grace & Glam Medical Spa in Cincinnati simplify your life with laser hair removal on almost any area of the body. Feel comfortable knowing that an experienced doctor is doing all your treatments.
How does laser hair removal work?
The laser damages hair follicles so that further hair growth is either greatly diminished or else prevented altogether. Dr. Meyers uses a state-of-the-art Cutera machine which is safe for all skin colors. Only dark hair can be effectively treated because blonde, grey, white, or red hair does not contain enough pigment to be visible to the laser.
How do I prepare for laser hair removal?
You should avoid sun exposure or self-tanners for 4 weeks before treatment. Ideally tan lines should be faded for best results. You should also refrain from waxing, bleaching, or tweezing during that same time period. Then hair should be shaved before arrival, either the night before treatment or that same day.
How is the treatment performed?
A cool gel is applied to ensure maximum patient comfort. Then most people describe a sensation similar to the snap of a rubber band as the pulse is delivered.
How many treatments are necessary?
Since only 20% of the hair follicles are in the active growth phase at any one time (and thus the most susceptible to damage), usually 4-6 treatments are necessary. Darker skin often requires 6-8 treatments. The interval between treatments is typically 6 weeks, but may be longer with final treatments.
How satisfied are patients?
Patients are pleasantly surprised at the comfort of the treatment, and are thrilled to finally be rid of unwanted hair. The most common remark Dr. Meyers hears is, “If I had known how easy this was, I would have done it a long time ago.” Get started now by calling Grace & Glam Medical Spa today or booking online.

Eyelash extensions are weightless synthetic fibers bonded to your natural lashes to make them appear longer, thicker, and darker.What is involved in the procedure?
Our experienced esthetician will first thoroughly cleanse your eyes. Then a patch test will be performed to determine which medical grade adhesive is best for you.

You get to lay back and relax for 1 ½ to 2 ½ hours, and some people even fall asleep during the treatment.What type of extensions do you offer?
Classic Lashes add one lash extension to each of your natural lashes. They give a natural look, with a little extra length and/or curl.Hybrid Lashes mix classic lashes with fans that each have 7-10 lashes. This mixed set is perfect for those who have sparse lashes or who want a fuller lash line.

Volume Lashes are created with all fans. You can choose short or long lengths, and this set provides a strip lash look. The combination of drama and volume makes these a favorite for both daily use and special occasions.

They look instantly beautiful, and stay that way no matter whether you are sleeping, working out, or even swimming.

It is typically done every 4 weeks.

Concerns
Our patients find it very rewarding to finally fix their areas of concern. If you don’t see yours listed, give us a call or come in for a free consultation. No one ever regrets looking better.
Whether you are a teenager or adult, acne is a very distressing problem.
Our popular Hydrafacial exfoliates dead skin cells and cleans out blocked pores. Then blue light kills the acne bacteria, followed by the infusion of skin nutrients to promote healthy skin.
The Laser Genesis treatment gently heats the skin to kill the acne bacteria. It also helps to shrink pores, calm down inflammation, and generate collagen.
A series of either of these treatments will give you clear skin with fewer breakouts.
Sun exposure and aging can cause dark spots, as well as skin that looks and feels uneven.
IPL decreases both brown and red discoloration, while at the same time tightening the skin. It is a great answer for light-colored, untanned skin.
Microneedling stimulates the production of healthy new collagen to replace damaged capillaries or abnormal pigment. This results in skin that is more uniform in color and texture, as well as smaller pores and tighter skin.
ResurFX is a deeper treatment that decreases brown spots or red blood vessels while also improving skin tightness. Although there is a day or two of downtime, people feel the results are well worth it.
Chemical peels cause exfoliation of the skin, thereby gradually removing brown discoloration and roughness in texture.
Rather than covering up uneven skin with makeup, why not restore your own clear and radiant complexion.
With aging, cheeks shift downward, and lines form between the nose and mouth (parentheses) and downward from the corners of the mouth (marionette lines).
All of these can be easily corrected with fillers. Voluma can restore cheek contour and lift the face back up to where it belongs. Juvederm erases the lower face grooves, giving you back the face you had years ago.
Results are visible immediately, and patients are thrilled to look so much better. Fillers truly are magic.
Over time, repetitive muscle movements cause fine lines to appear in the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes.
All of these can be corrected with Botox. By relaxing the muscles, fine wrinkles disappear and your skin becomes smooth once again.
Botox is the most popular cosmetic procedure in the country for a reason. It is simple, safe, and the results are amazing.
Everyone wants a chiseled jawline and a tight neck. Now we can help you to achieve those goals.
The NuEra Tight is a relaxing, comfortable procedure that decreases fat while tightening the overlying skin. Jowls become less prominent and neck fat diminishes with each succeeding treatment.
We take photographs to help you track your progress, and this is one of our most popular treatments because people love the results.
Loss of collagen due to sun damage, aging, or hereditary factors can cause pores to enlarge. Luckily there are several treatments that can help.
A Hydrafacial first extracts impurities from pores, leaving them open and clean. Then nutrients are infused which calm down inflammation and generate collagen to shrink pore size.
Laser Genesis gently heats the skin, also stimulating collagen production. As skin texture smooths out and pores tighten, the complexion looks healthier and more radiant.
Microneedling causes tiny perforations in the skin. These trigger the body’s repair mechanism, resulting in the production of new collagen and elastin. During the healing process, damaged cells are replaced with healthy ones, and pores constrict back to normal size.
Any of these treatments will help to shrink pore size and give you smoother, tighter skin.
Tired of eyelash curlers and mascara? Finally you can put them both away.
The Eyelash Lift can perm your lashes in a curled position, and a tint can keep them dark. Both make your lashes appear longer and darker, as well as opening up your eyes.
Simplify your life by waking up each day to already beautiful eyes.
