Why Choose Apollo House for Medical Facials
In New York City, a “facial” can mean anything from a simple cucumber mask to a high-intensity peel. At Apollo House, we define a facial as a medical intervention. We bridge the gap between the relaxing touch of a luxury spa and the biological efficacy of a dermatology clinic.
Medical Expertise First
Your skin is your largest organ, and treating it requires medical knowledge, not just product application. Our aesthetic providers operate under the guidance of Dr. Michael Ghalchi. We utilize pharmaceutical-grade biologics, such as Exosomes, Polynucleotides (Rejuran), and Micro-Toxins, that are unavailable in standard day spas. This ensures that every step of your treatment targets specific histological changes in the dermis.
Integration with Longevity
Skin health is a reflection of internal health. We don’t just treat the surface; we treat the system. We often coordinate your facial treatments with IV Vitamin Therapy (like our “Skin + Hair Glow” drip) and Hormone Optimization plans to ensure your glow is fueled from the inside out.
Commitment to “Glass Skin” Results
We specialize in the Korean-inspired “Glass Skin” aesthetic, luminous, poreless, and hydrated. By moving away from abrasive, old-school extractions and moving toward bio-stimulation, we create results that look fresh and natural, never stripped or raw.
About Medical Facials: What You Need to Know
What is a Medical Facial?
Unlike a spa facial that works only on the epidermis (the dead outer layer), an Apollo House Medical Facial uses advanced delivery systems, such as Infusion Microneedling or Aquagold fine touch, to deposit active ingredients directly into the mesoderm (the living layer of skin).
Our Signature Treatments
- The Rejuran “Glass Skin” Facial: Utilizes Polynucleotides (salmon DNA) to repair damaged skin cells, reduce inflammation, and thicken the skin barrier. This is the secret behind the “Korean Glass Skin” phenomenon.
- The Micro-Botox Facial: We infuse a diluted “micro-dose” of neurotoxin (Botox/Letybo) into the skin’s surface without freezing the muscles. This shrinks pores, reduces oil production, and creates a matte, airbrushed finish.
- The Stem Cell Exosome Facial: Uses billions of ethically sourced exosomes (messenger signals) to instruct your aging skin cells to behave like young cells again. Ideal for rapid healing and redness reduction.
- Infusion Microneedling: A mechanical stimulation paired with PRP (“Vampire Facial”) or custom vitamin blends to trigger collagen induction.
Expected Results & Timeline
- Immediate: Skin looks plump, hydrated, and “dewy” immediately post-treatment.
- Short-Term (3-7 Days): As cellular turnover accelerates, texture smooths out, and pores appear significantly smaller.
- Long-Term: With monthly maintenance, collagen density increases, and the skin barrier becomes more resilient against city pollution.
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 Difference: The Clinical Experience
We have replaced the “steam and cream” routine with a science-first protocol.
Pillar 1: Medical Precision (The Bio-Active Difference)
Most spas use products that sit on top of the skin. We use bio-active agents that communicate with your cells. Whether it is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) drawn from your own blood or Growth Factors, every ingredient applied to your face has a clear medical mechanism of action validated by our clinical team.
Pillar 2: Holistic Integration (The “Glow” Stack)
We maximize your facial by addressing the internal environment.
- The Protocol: A 30-minute Infrared Sauna session to detoxify pores → The Glass Skin Facial → A Glutathione IV Push.
- Why: You clear the toxins, treat the tissue, and brighten the blood. This triple-threat approach delivers a radiance that makeup cannot mimic.
Pillar 3: Exclusive, Personalized Care
No “menu A or menu B.” Every facial begins with a skin analysis. Because we serve a limited membership of 150 Founding Members, we know your skin’s history. We know if you are prone to breakouts from Vitamin C, or if you need extra hydration due to recent travel. We customize the “cocktail” of serums for you every single time.
Pillar 4: Results with Purpose
We don’t just want you to look good for dinner tonight; we want to preserve your skin’s elasticity for the next decade. Our treatments are designed to strengthen the skin matrix, delaying the need for more invasive surgical procedures later in life.
Is a Medical Facial Right for You?
This treatment is ideal for:
- The “Tired City Face”: Your skin looks dull, gray, or congested from pollution and stress.
- The Event-Ready Client: You need a “Red Carpet” glow with zero downtime (perfect for the Micro-Botox facial).
- The Acne-Prone Adult: You are dealing with hormonal breakouts and need clinical salicylic infusions and blue light therapy, not just a scrub.
- The Needle-Phobic: You want significant anti-aging results (collagen stimulation) but aren’t ready for deep dermal fillers.
It may not be for:
- Patients with active skin infections (cold sores) or sunburns.
- Note on Pregnancy: While Micro-Botox is not safe for pregnancy, our Oxygen and Exosome facials are safe and highly recommended for the “pregnancy glow.”
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from a facial at a luxury hotel spa?
Efficacy. Hotel spas focus on relaxation and sensory smells. We focus on cellular change. We use medical devices (Microneedling, Aquagold) and prescription-strength biologics (PRP, Exosomes) that a day spa is legally not permitted to use.
Does the “Micro-Botox Facial” freeze my face?
No. The neurotoxin is placed superficially in the skin, not deep in the muscle. You will retain full movement and expression. It simply targets the sweat glands and arrector pili muscles to smooth texture and reduce shine.
Is there downtime?
It varies.
- Exosome/Oxygen Facials: No downtime. “Glow and Go.”
- Infusion Microneedling: 24-48 hours of mild redness (like a sunburn).
- Rejuran: Small bumps may be visible for 24 hours as the product absorbs.
Can I wear makeup afterward?
We recommend keeping the skin clean for at least 12-24 hours to allow the active ingredients to continue working.
Can I combine this with my Botox/Filler appointment?
Yes. In fact, they work beautifully together. We often perform the facial first to prep the skin, followed by your injectable treatments. This is called “The Apollo Signature Balance.”
What is Rejuran?
Rejuran is a “skin booster” made of polynucleotides (salmon DNA). Unlike filler which adds volume, Rejuran heals the skin structure. It is excellent for acne scars, thin skin, and dark circles.
