Why Choose Apollo House for Acne Facials in NYC
Apollo House stands apart by treating acne with the rigor of clinical medicine and the finesse of high-end aesthetics. Our approach is guided by Dr. Michael Ghalchi, a board-certified cardiologist whose two decades of experience in high-stakes diagnostics informs every treatment plan. We apply the same precision used to analyze cardiovascular health to your skin, ensuring a safe, effective, and sophisticated path to clarity.
Your journey with us is built on three core principles:
- Medical Expertise First: We move beyond surface-level treatments to diagnose and address the underlying triggers of your acne. Your protocol is designed by a medical team with a deep understanding of skin biology and systemic health.
- Integrated with Longevity: We recognize that skin health is connected to your entire well-being. Your acne facial is part of a holistic ecosystem that can include hormone optimization, nutrition coaching, and IV therapy to foster lasting results from the inside out.
- Natural, Personalized Results: Our goal is to restore your skin’s inherent health, not to create a look that feels artificial. We custom-build your treatment plan to deliver clear, smooth, and radiant skin that is unmistakably yours.
About Acne Facials: What You Need to Know
What is an Apollo House Acne Facial?
An Apollo House acne facial is a personalized, multi-modal clinical protocol designed by our aesthetic providers to target acne at every stage. It is not a one-size-fits-all service. Following a comprehensive skin analysis, your provider will curate a sequence of advanced treatments tailored to your specific type of acne, skin sensitivity, and aesthetic goals.
Your personalized protocol may include a combination of:
- Advanced Clinical Extractions: Safely and hygienically clearing congested pores to reduce active lesions.
- Targeted Chemical Peels: Using medical-grade formulations to exfoliate dead skin cells, reduce inflammation, and improve texture.
- Lumecca IPL Therapy: Utilizing intense pulsed light to destroy acne-causing bacteria and reduce redness and inflammation.
- Regenerative Add-Ons: Incorporating PRP or Exosome Stem Cell therapy to accelerate healing and repair tissue.
- Specialty Injections: Employing Kenalog injections to rapidly resolve deep, painful cystic acne lesions.
What an Apollo House Acne Facial Treats
Our physician-designed protocols are built to address a wide spectrum of acne-related concerns, including:
- Active inflammatory acne (papules, pustules, and cysts)
- Comedonal acne (blackheads and whiteheads)
- Hormonal and adult-onset acne
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots)
- Acne scarring and uneven skin texture
- Enlarged pores and excess sebum production
Expected Results & Timeline
While many clients notice a visible reduction in inflammation and redness after just one session, an Apollo House acne facial is designed for progressive, long-term improvement.
- 2-4 weeks: Significant clearing of active acne
- 6-8 weeks: Improved skin texture and tone with diminished post-inflammatory marks
- 3-4 months: Substantial improvement in overall acne pattern with regular treatments
A curated series of treatments is typically recommended to achieve sustained clarity and resolve underlying issues like scarring and pigmentation.
Your provider will establish a personalized timeline during your consultation. Results are cumulative, with each session building upon the last to reveal smoother, clearer, and more resilient skin.
Whether you seek aesthetic refinement or deep cellular recovery, our evidence-based protocols are designed to help you live vibrantly at every age.
The Apollo House Acne Facial Experience
Pillar 1: Medical Precision
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where our aesthetic providers analyze your skin’s condition, discuss your health history, and identify acne triggers. We map out a precise, data-driven treatment plan, selecting the exact modalities and clinical-grade products to achieve your goals safely and efficiently. This may involve a targeted Lumecca IPL series for inflammation or a plan for Infusion Microneedling with PRP to address scarring once active breakouts are controlled.
Pillar 2: Holistic Integration
Acne is often a symptom of internal imbalances. At Apollo House, your facial treatment integrates seamlessly with our full suite of longevity and wellness services. For hormonal acne, we can coordinate your protocol with our physician-led hormone optimization programs. To support healing from within, we can pair your facial with our IV Drips or recommend nutrition consultations to identify dietary triggers. This 360-degree approach ensures your results are not just superficial, but sustainable.
Pillar 3: Exclusive, Personalized Care
As one of only 150 founding members, you receive truly bespoke care. Your acne protocol is yours alone, adjusted at every visit based on your skin’s response. We may recommend advanced add-on treatmentS to improve texture or Exosome Stem Cell therapy after microneedling to enhance repair. We avoid cookie-cutter facials, instead leveraging our extensive toolkit to create the perfect combination for you.
Pillar 4: Results with Purpose
Our mission is to help you achieve skin that empowers you. By resolving persistent acne and restoring a clear, healthy complexion, we help you regain confidence that radiates in the boardroom, on camera, and in your daily life. This is more than an aesthetic treatment; it is an investment in your long-term well-being and self-assurance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is an Apollo House acne facial different from a regular spa facial?
Unlike a standard spa facial, our treatments are clinical protocols designed and supervised by a medical team. We use medical-grade technologies like IPL, CO2 lasers, and regenerative medicine to address acne at its source, delivering more powerful and lasting results.
Why is it better to get an acne facial at a physician-led clinic?
A physician-led clinic ensures the highest standards of safety, diagnostic accuracy, and treatment efficacy. Our team can identify underlying medical triggers, prescribe clinical interventions like Kenalog for cysts, and manage complex conditions like severe scarring with a level of expertise that is not available at a typical aesthetics center.
Who will perform my acne facial treatment?
Your treatments are performed by our highly trained aesthetic providers, all working under the strict protocols and guidance of our medical leadership team, including Dr. Michael Ghalchi.
What treatments might be included in my personalized acne protocol?
Your plan may include a combination of chemical peels, Lumecca IPL, advanced microneedling (Morpheus8 or Infusion Microneedling), PRP or Exosome therapy, and targeted extractions. For severe scarring, we may recommend CO2 laser resurfacing.
Is there downtime after an acne facial?
Downtime varies depending on the intensity of your customized protocol. A gentle clarifying facial may have no downtime, while a more intensive treatment like a deep chemical peel or CO2 laser may require a few days of social downtime. Your provider will discuss this with you during your consultation.
How many sessions will I need to see results?
For optimal, long-term clarity, we typically recommend a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced several weeks apart. However, your exact plan will be customized to your skin’s specific needs and goals.
Can you treat cystic acne and acne scars?
Yes. We have highly effective solutions for both. Painful cystic acne can be rapidly treated with Kenalog injections. For acne scars, we offer a range of powerful treatments, including Morpheus8 RF microneedling and fractional CO2 laser resurfacing, to remodel collagen and smooth skin texture.
