Unlock the most potent ingredient in your skincare regimen: you. At Apollo House, we harness your body’s own biological power to regenerate tissue, restore hair, and revitalize skin. Our physician-led PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) treatments represent the future of natural aesthetics, delivering powerful results without synthetic fillers or chemicals.
Why Choose Apollo House for PRP & PRF
As a longevity clinic led by board-certified cardiologist Dr. Michael Ghalchi, Apollo House elevates regenerative medicine to a science.
Medical Expertise First means we use advanced centrifugation protocols to ensure the highest concentration of viable platelets and growth factors. Integration with Longevity means we often combine these therapies with microneedling, hair restoration, or even IV drips to maximize cellular repair. Our commitment to Natural, Personalized Results ensures that whether you are treating dark circles or thinning hair, the outcome is unmistakably you: just fresher, stronger, and more resilient.
About PRP & PRF: What You Need to Know
What are PRP and PRF?
Both treatments start with a simple blood draw. We spin your blood in a centrifuge to separate the “liquid gold”, the platelets and growth factors, from the red blood cells.
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): The “classic” regenerative fluid. It releases growth factors quickly, initiating an immediate burst of healing and collagen production. Ideal for skin texture and general rejuvenation.
- PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin): The “next generation” evolution. Spun at a lower speed, PRF retains a fibrin matrix (a natural scaffold) along with white blood cells and stem cells. This matrix holds the growth factors in the tissue longer, releasing them slowly over 7-10 days for sustained, deep tissue regeneration.
What They Treat
These versatile autologous (from your own body) therapies address a wide spectrum of concerns:
- Under-Eye Hollows & Dark Circles: PRF is our gold standard here. It acts as a natural bio-filler, thickening the delicate skin and reducing dark circles without the risk of the “puffy” look sometimes seen with synthetic fillers.
- Hair Loss & Thinning: Both therapies wake up dormant hair follicles, increase hair shaft thickness, and improve scalp health.
- Skin Texture & Tone: When microneedled into the skin (“Vampire Facial”), they erase fine lines, acne scars, and dullness.
- Post-Procedure Healing: accelerates recovery after intensive treatments like CO2 Laser or Morpheus8.
Expected Results & Timeline
- Skin Rejuvenation: An immediate “glow” is visible within days. Deeper structural improvements (collagen production) appear over 4-6 weeks.
- Hair Restoration: Decrease in shedding is often seen after 1-2 sessions. Visible regrowth and thickening typically begin around month 3-4.
- Maintenance: Results are cumulative. A series of 3 sessions is standard, followed by maintenance every 6-12 months.
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 Regenerative Experience
We engineer results, not just spin blood. Our four-pillar approach helps you get the biggest biological benefits from each session.
Pillar 1: Medical Precision
Not all centrifuges are created equal. We use hospital-grade systems that yield a higher concentration of platelets than standard med-spa devices. Under physician oversight, we determine whether PRP (quick release) or PRF (sustained release) is clinically superior for your specific anatomy and goals: for instance, choosing PRF for deep under-eye hollows but PRP for surface glow.
Pillar 2: Holistic Integration
We treat the ecosystem, not just the symptom. For hair restoration patients, we may combine PRP/PRF injections with our “Skin + Hair Glow” IV Drip to provide the nutritional building blocks (Biotin, Vitamin C) your follicles need to grow. For facial rejuvenation, we integrate “Infusion Microneedling”, delivering the plasma directly into the dermis to boost collagen synthesis by up to 600%.
Pillar 3: Exclusive, Personalized Care
As a member of our exclusive 150-person cohort, you are never rushed. We take the time to ensure your blood draw is painless and your numbing is complete. We map your treatment area precisely, whether it’s a targeted scalp zone or delicate tear troughs, ensuring every drop of your “liquid gold” is placed where it will have the most impact.
Pillar 4: Results with Purpose
This is “Results with Purpose” in its purest form. We aren’t altering your face; we are restoring its biological youth. By using your own cells to repair damage, we are building long-term tissue health that naturally resists aging.
Is PRP or PRF Right for You?
These treatments are ideal for the natural-minded, health-conscious individual who wants effective results without synthetics.

- The “Glow” Seeker: Ideal for anyone wanting to supercharge a microneedling session for a “glass skin” finish.
- The Bio-Hacker: For clients who value autologous therapies that align with a non-toxic, longevity-focused lifestyle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it better to get PRP/PRF at a physician-led clinic like Apollo House?
Quality control matters. The effectiveness of PRP/PRF depends on the concentration of platelets achieved during the spin. Dr. Ghalchi oversees our protocols to ensure we are harvesting a therapeutic dose. Furthermore, injections, especially around the eyes and scalp, require deep anatomical knowledge to be safe and effective.
Who performs the treatment?
Your treatment is performed by our expert licensed aesthetic providers or nurses, all operating under the strict clinical supervision of Dr. Michael Ghalchi.
Does it hurt?
We prioritize your comfort. A strong medical-grade numbing cream is applied 45 minutes before any facial or scalp injections. Most patients report only mild pressure. The blood draw is quick and performed by skilled phlebotomists.
What is the difference between a “Vampire Facial” and PRP Injections?
- “Vampire Facial” (Microneedling with PRP): We use a microneedling device to create tiny channels in the skin and apply PRP topically to soak in. This improves surface texture, pores, and acne scars.
- PRP/PRF Injections: We use a needle or cannula to place the fluid deep under the skin (like a filler) or into hair follicles. This targets volume loss, deep hollows, and hair growth.
How much does PRP/PRF cost in NYC?
At Apollo House, pricing varies by area (scalp, under-eyes, full face). Founding Members receive exclusive preferential rates on all regenerative therapies. We invite you to book a consultation for a personalized quote.
What is the downtime?
- Injections: Minimal. You may have slight swelling or bruising (especially under the eyes) for 2-3 days, but you can return to work immediately.
- Microneedling with PRP: You will look “sunburned” for 24-48 hours.
Can I use PRP/PRF if I am on blood thinners?
Generally, no. Since platelets are involved in clotting, blood thinners can affect the quality of the PRP and increase bruising risks. Dr. Ghalchi will review your medical history during your consultation to ensure you are a safe candidate.
