Your daily routine should be as streamlined as your biology. Laser hair removal is not merely a grooming habit; it is a strategic investment in your time and skin health. Guided by board-certified cardiologist Dr. Michael Ghalchi and a team of licensed medical experts, our laser protocols utilize advanced InMode technology to deliver permanent hair reduction that is fast, effective, and remarkably comfortable. This is hair removal reimagined for the longevity lifestyle, helping you look fresh, feel strong, and live long.
Why Choose Apollo House for Laser Hair Removal
Apollo House offers a comprehensive medical approach to hair removal. We prioritize safety, hygiene, and efficacy above all else.
- Medical Expertise First: Laser hair removal involves powerful thermal energy. Without proper oversight, it can lead to burns or hyperpigmentation. At Apollo House, your treatment plan is overseen by a board-certified physician and performed by licensed aesthetic providers who understand the physics of laser-tissue interaction, ensuring your safety is never compromised.
- Integration with Longevity: We view hair removal as a component of long-term skin health. By eliminating the need for daily shaving or waxing, we eradicate chronic inflammation, micro-abrasions, and folliculitis (ingrown hairs) that compromise your skin barrier over time.
- Natural, Personalized Results: We utilize InMode technology, renowned for its speed and ability to treat all skin types safely. Whether you have fair skin or a deep complexion, our settings are customized to your specific melanin profile to maximize clearance while protecting your skin.
About Laser Hair Removal: What You Need to Know
We utilize cutting-edge InMode laser systems designed for speed and patient comfort. This allows us to treat large areas (like legs, back, or full body) efficiently without the prolonged discomfort associated with older technologies.
What is Medical-Grade Laser Hair Removal?
Our technology works via selective photothermolysis. The laser emits a focused beam of light that passes through the skin and is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicle. This energy converts to heat, permanently damaging the follicle’s ability to regrow hair without harming the surrounding tissue. The InMode system is specifically engineered to be “nearly pain-free,” utilizing advanced cooling mechanisms to keep the skin comfortable during the procedure.
What We Treat
Laser hair removal is a powerful solution for:
- Unwanted Hair: Permanent reduction on the face, underarms, legs, back, chest, bikini area, and full body.
- Folliculitis & Ingrown Hairs: It is one of the most effective medical interventions for chronic razor bumps and ingrown hairs, particularly common in the beard area or bikini line.
- Skin Texture: By removing the hair and the “shadow” it creates beneath the surface, skin appears smoother, brighter, and more even-toned.
Expected Results & Timeline
- Immediate: You will leave the clinic with smooth skin. The treated hair follicles are destroyed instantly, though the hair shaft may remain in the pore briefly.
- The Shedding Phase: Over the next 1–2 weeks, the treated hair will push out and shed naturally.
- Long-Term: Hair grows in cycles. Because the laser only targets hair in the active growth phase, a series of sessions (typically 6 to 10) is required for comprehensive, permanent reduction.
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 Laser Experience
Pillar 1: Medical Precision
We do not guess with your skin. Before treatment, we conduct a thorough assessment of your skin type and sun exposure history. Our providers adjust the energy settings to match your exact profile, ensuring we destroy the follicle without heating the surrounding skin, a critical safety measure for our clients.
Pillar 2: Holistic Integration
Smooth skin is the perfect canvas for our other body therapies. Many members combine their laser sessions with Morpheus8 Body treatments to address skin laxity and tightening, or pair it with our Lipostat IV Drip to support metabolic health. We treat the body as a connected system, not a collection of parts.
Pillar 3: Exclusive, Personalized Care
As a Founding Member, you are not just a number in a waiting room. Our appointments are spaced to ensure privacy and comfort. We offer Full Body Packages that allow you to treat multiple areas in a single, efficient visit, respecting your busy schedule.
Pillar 4: Results with Purpose
Our goal is to give you your time back. By removing the daily burden of shaving, you reclaim hours of your life every year. This aligns with our “Results with Purpose” philosophy, optimizing your lifestyle so you can focus on what truly matters.

This treatment is ideal for:
- Busy Professionals: Who want to eliminate the time-consuming “maintenance” of shaving or waxing.
- Athletes: Who require hair-free skin for performance, aerodynamics, or recovery massage.
- All Skin Tones: Our InMode technology is safe and effective for a wide range of skin types.
- Sufferers of Razor Burn: Anyone prone to red bumps, irritation, or infected ingrown hairs from traditional hair removal methods.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it better to get Laser Hair Removal at a physician-led clinic?
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure. In New York, regulations can vary, but the risk of burns is real if equipment is mishandled. At Apollo House, Dr. Ghalchi’s medical oversight ensures that we use therapeutic energy levels that are effective enough to kill the hair but safe enough to prevent burns, scarring, or hyperpigmentation.
Is the treatment painful?
Our InMode machine is described as “nearly pain-free”. Most clients describe the sensation as a light snap or prickle. For sensitive areas, we also offer a Numbing Add-On to ensure your complete comfort.
How many sessions will I need?
While you will see thinner, sparser hair after just one session, we recommend a package of 6 to 10 sessions to capture every hair during its active growth cycle. We offer specific packages for 6 or 10 sessions to accommodate this.
Is it permanent?
The FDA defines it as “permanent hair reduction.” Most clients achieve significant clearance (80-95%). Any remaining hair is typically very fine, light, and slow-growing. Maintenance sessions may be needed once a year.
Can I shave between sessions?
Yes! In fact, you should shave. Unlike waxing, which removes the root (which the laser needs to target), shaving leaves the root intact. Please shave the area 24 hours before your appointment.
Who performs the treatment?
Your treatment is performed by a licensed aesthetic provider who has undergone rigorous training on our specific InMode laser platform.
