Use a block of wood and a couple flat head screwdrivers
carefully pry up on the faucet handles using the wood as leverage. But do not force them, heat up with a hair drier first before removing.
SOURCE: how to take handle off of Grohe Lady Lux Cafe-took screw out-handle is stuck
I soaked the connection between the handle and the valve body in a penetrating oil for several hours and eventually used more force than I hoped to use to remove the handle. Once the handle and end cap (part 09 209) were removed, I could see that the valve assembly (part 46 048) was loose which caused water to leak from the seals (part 46 209) between the valve assembly and faucet body. So I tighted the screws that hold the valve assembly to the faucet body and the leaked stopped.

Here is a link to the repair parts page on Jado website for your faucet. Exploded diagram shows how the thing goes together...

The handle assembly and collar (8) will thread off after pushed past the limit of the cartridge (gentle consistent pressure)...
In terms of leak itself its hard to say but if the faucet froze from sediment build up and is now leaking it is likely that part of the cartridge is 'clogged' open...
Hope that helps...

Take handle off and check out the inside to make sure it not striped out and on the top of the handle it may have a plastic cap to pop of to access the screw holding in in place you amy have to use a knive to get it off .
If you can't see a set screw it may have a screw in handle on top.
