Laser Hair Removal
Info
Laser hair removal is an FDA approved process by which a beam of light targets hair follicles and destroys them so that they become incapable of growing hair.
Through this process, the laser light destroys multiple hair follicles simultaneously. It is considered the fastest, most convenient way to reduce hair growth on the body. This procedure, done in a safe and effective manner, has been shown to greatly increase self confidence, cut down on grooming time and offer years of enjoyment free of waxing, depilating, epilating, shaving, tweezing and other non-permanent methods of hair removal.
At Laser by Monica, we are able to treat both men and women of all skin types safely
Using dual wavelength lasers that have both a 755 Alexandrite for lighter to medium skin, and a 1064 Yag for medium to darker skin. All skin types regardless of color can receive optimal treatments that greatly reduce hair growth. We never use IPL (Intense Pulse Light) technology as we do not consider this as effective as lasers for hair removal. In maintaining client expectations, we only use the most effective true laser technology.
Every treatment we perform is a detail-oriented service that not only removes hair, but aims to create a natural look that "blends" in with the rest of the body.
These treatments go beyond removing unwanted hair, striving to create a personalized treatment that clients can feel comfortable with, knowing that it is suited specifically for their unique needs.

Level 1
$100.00
This level is great for anyone who wants a gentle facial. You will walk out with beautiful, clean, non-irritated skin. This facial is designed to help every face look its best immediately after treatment. It's a great introductory facial that will leave your skin looking clean and feeling soft, with gentle products designed to soothe you, inside and out. It starts with a cleanse, steam, light extractions if necessary, and a mask.
Level 2
$125.00
Level 2 provides an extra layer of care when you feel your face needs a pick-me-up. This facial includes a mild to mid level skin brightening enzyme, an ultrasonic peeling treatment to leave the skin clean and clear while also injecting much needed nutrition to the skin. This facial will treat the skin a little bit deeper than the base level. It is an excellent choice for mild breakouts and dull dehydrated skin.
Level 3
$150.00
When you are exhausted and stressed, it can take a toll on your skin. That means it's time to let your skin know you care with this super cleansing, hydrating, and muscle retraining facial. We use micro-current technology that will leave you feeling wide-eyed and bushy-tailed. This is the perfect facial that when done every month one sees a marked improvement in skin tone and texture for the long haul.
Peels are a Way to Treat Many Skin Conditions Including, Hyper Pigmentation, Scarring and Acne.
There are Several Levels of Peels That Can Be Performed in My Studio.
Long gone are the days of samantha in sex and the city and her tomato beet red face.
We Custom Blend Our Peels Using the Rhonda Allison Ingredients to Match the Skin Tone and the Type of Condition.
A good peel is never one size fits all but rather a customized protocol specifically targeting individual concerns.
What are the Different Types of Peels?
All Rhonda Allison Treatment Procedures are Considered Superficial
They do not penetrate beyond the epidermis or papillary dermis. They are not to be confused with medical or physician-strength peels that affect the reticular dermis.
Our Peels
Progressive
$100.00
This refers to a treatment that does not usually cause immediate exfoliation and only removes the outer layer of skin or the stratum corneum. As treatments are repeated, the skin will experience a mild sloughing.
Mid Depth
$150.00
These peels affect the intra-epidermal layer, and exfoliation occurs within two to three days after application. The skin goes through very little down time. Peeling consists of light flaking similar to a sunburn peel.
Deep
$200.00
These peels affect the deepest intra-epidermal layers. The skin becomes brown and crusty then undergoes considerable peeling, which occurs three to four days after application. The skin peels in large segments as opposed to flaking. The entire process takes about 7 to ten days.
What Is Oxygen Skin Therapy?
This combination of oxygen and vitamins revitalizes your skin while nourishing it, which helps prevent future skin problems. Oxygen Skin Therapy infuses the skin with highly concentrated oxygen paired with topical vitamins, which allow for rapid absorption. The 99% pure oxygen concentrate stimulates tissue detoxification, kills bacteria, and prevents premature aging. Meanwhile, the mixture of vitamins offers countless benefits for your skin:
Vitamin A preserves skin elasticity, which delays wrinkles and aids tissue growth
Vitamin B keeps skin smooth and unblemished
Vitamin C promotes collagen production, which protects your skin from damage
Vitamin E maintains and strengthens the skin
The Treatment
Our Particular Oxygen Facial is Delivered with a Precision Glass Instrument So That the Vitamins Will Not Oxidize Before Application
Unlike many of the metal delivery systems. The process itself is relaxing, and a great alternative to fillers and botox.
Additionally, oxygen skin facial treatments can help heal the skin further after chemical peels.
Recommended for all skin types and conditions, because who doesn't need some fresh air in Manhatten? Contact us today to start healing your skin.
What is It?
Celluma LED Treatment is a non-invasive light therapy that enhances and heals your skin. In the same way that plants use chlorophyll to convert sunlight into plant tissue, this treatment uses LED lights to utilize specific light wavelengths, which then trigger a natural stimulation in your skin. The entire process is non-toxic, non-invasive, and will help you achieve a healthy glow. This LED process is FDA approved with NASA-based technology that is proven to give outstanding results in the management of acne and the building of collagen. This treatment can be done as both a stand alone or added to just about any treatment, such as a facial or chemical peel. Research has shown that this process, called phototherapy, can:
Increase circulation
Accelerate tissue repair
Eliminate Acne-Inducing bacteria
Decrease inflammation
Improve skin tone, texture and clarity.
Further Benefits
Celluma LED Treatment revitalizes the skin in numerous ways.
By killing bacteria on your skin, phototherapy prevents future breakouts and cleans the skin. It also promotes the building of collagen by helping cell metabolism, which then reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Finally, by stimulating fibroblasts in the cells, this LED treatment promotes the elasticity and youthfulness of your skin.
To revitalize and brighten your skin, consider a simple Celluma LED Treatment to get that healthy glow.

What Is Wet/Dry Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a kind of exfoliation procedure that uses a specific tool to scrub away the dead outer layer of skin to reveal your healthy, rejuvenated skin underneath.
Meanwhile, the tool also provides suction to whisk away all the dead particles. The process is completely noninvasive and relaxing.
The wet/dry component is exactly what it sounds like: wet microdermabraison is the same as dry microdermabrasion, but with an additional wet serum applied to the skin.
This serum is going right on the underlying, healthy skin to moisturize and reduce any sort of redness or irritation.
What About Bio Brasion?
Bio Brasion is an improved form of microdermabrasion.
A typical microdermabrasion tool uses crystals to exfoliate and high suction to fully remove all dead skin. However, it's often difficult to fully control the spread and concentration of the crystals from the tool, and the force of the suction can irritate skin and leave redness.
Meanwhile, Bio Brasion uses a diamon-tipped tool that gives your esthetician precise control of your exfoliation.
This facial treatment also uses a lower level of suction to prevent any sort of damage or discomfort. And, if that's not enough to sway you, we also offer Aquafuse serums in our wet Bio Brasion, which will reduce the appearance of fine lines, blemishes, and hydrate skin to leave it soft and radiant.
Is It Right for Me?
Yes, if you want soft, glowing, even skin. Bio Brasion is gentle but effective on every skin type, even those with sensitive complexions, and has a huge list of benefits:
Brightens dull skin
Removes dead and damaged skin
Makes skin feel and look softer
Removes blemishes
Diminishes wrinkles and fine lines
Reduces acne
Smoothes skin for even texture
Clears sun damage
Reduces hyperpigmentation
What Is Dermaplaning
Many people are unaware that dead skin cells, thin hairs, and uneven skin can produce an overall dull complexion plagued by mini breakouts.
Then, in an attempt to fix the symptoms, some people will overuse products packed with chemicals or antibiotics.
Dermaplaning, meanwhile, is a simple, 20 minute procedure that is entirely painless and relaxing.
A sterilized, single-use surgical blade is used to scrape dead skin and vellus hairs off the face, leaving smooth, bright and even toned skin.
There's absolutely no recovery time for dermaplaning, and you'll notice the difference in your skin as soon as the treatment is finished.
In addition to your skin looking brighter and feeling softer, skin care products will penetrate more efficiently. This is a great option for all skin types to create a healthier appearance for your skin, and dermaplaning is entirely safe for women who are pregnant.
What They Are
Spider veins are small, red, purple and blue vessels that are easily visible through the skin.
They show up in clusters usually around the nose, cheeks, chin, legs and ankles causing a ruddy appearance. Some people feel self-conscious if spider veins appear, and either tend to use foundation and concealer to cover them on the face, or if they appear on the legs they avoid wearing skirts or bathing suits.
What Causes Them
The cause of spider veins can be attributed to several factors
The most common being hereditary, occupations that demand long hours standing, hormonal influences, birth control, or certain trauma, or injury to the skin.
Treatment
Using the ND Yag laser
The settings are optimized to target the hemoglobin in the spider vessels and using a series of little pulses the laser destroys the vessels on contact causing them to be less visible or disappear as the body reabsorbs the tiny vessels. Depending on how many vessels need to be treated, the sessions can last from 5 to 30 minutes.
Recovery
The treatment area around the face or nose is red for a few hours and then returns to normal by the evening or the next day.
The legs can take longer to recover as the body reabsorbs the vessels. Usually, most of the redness disappears within a couple of days but there can be a diffused redness that may take two weeks to completely heal.
Recommendations Before and After Treatment
It is recommended that you NOT take aspirin or other over-the-counter blood thinners 24 hours prior to treatment
No oral antibiotics two weeks prior to treatment, and no topical or Retin-A products to be applied to the treatment area for 14 days prior to treatment. After treatment, one should not scratch or rub the area, though application of clean makeup over the redness is completely acceptable. With leg treatments, one should avoid heavy exercise or large amounts of walking or running for 4 to 5 days to allow the blood to get reabsorbed, and avoid placing additional pressure on the area so that the treatment takes well.
Skin Tightening
Our skin is one of the first things people notice about us, and great skin can lead to an even better first impression.
As we age, we lose collagen and begin to see and feel differences in our skin. If this is happening to you, then it might be time to consider skin tightening.
It may seem like a big decision, but it's actually a simple and minimally invasive treatment.
Here's how it works.
The Procedure
These benefits make skin tightening a convenient and natural way to keep your skin youthful without missing out on your daily life. If skin tightening is not for you, we offer a variety of other skincare treatments from facials and peels to spider vein removal in the New York City, Manhattan, and Murray Hill area. Our skin tightening treatment builds collagen by using laser heat to target water in the dermis of the skin. This therapy has many perks:
Minimally invasive
Requires little to no downtime
Repeated in a course of treatments every 4 to 6 weeks, naturally forming collagen and creating a tighter appearance
Info
Everything from Our Diets, to Our Genetics, to What Skincare and Makeup Products We've Used Through Our Lives Can Have a Drastic Impact on Our Skin As We Age.
While we all enjoy spending time out in New York city, it's not uncommon for unsightly sunspots on the face, hands and other areas of the body to develop over time. This discoloration can be aging, but with laser treatment, you can take control of these lesions and have beautiful, younger looking skin.
Our Pigmented Lesions Removal Treatment Uses a Laser to Target the Pigment on the Surface of the Skin, Minimizing the Appearance of Sun Damage or Age Spots.
This process evens out your skin tone and texture, and reveals a more natural, healthy complexion underneath.
At Laser by Monica, You Can Choose to Undergo Spot Treatment or Treatment for an Entire Area, Depending on the Severity of Your Pigmented Lesions.
Either way, the recovery process is the same.
The Recovery Process
After Your Pigmented Lesion Removal Treatment, Your Age and Sunspots Will Lighten and Peel Off Over the Course of Five to Ten Days.
At first, age spots may darken slightly, but this is quite normal and nothing to be concerned about. Always remember, if you are walking around Manhattan after treatment always wear sunscreen, even if its a short walk around Murray Hill to pick up some groceries. Make-up can be worn to cover up this process until you are left with an evenly toned, youthful complexion. This treatment can be done on the hands or arms as well.
