  Where you are now, and where we start

  Dryness, fine lines and skin texture, and what is actually being injected

• 02

  The change you want, the impression you keep

• 03

  How it differs from similar options

  These are different ways to support skin hydration and quality. They use different materials and routes, so the right choice depends on your skin and goals.

• 04

  Health information and recovery schedule

  Little downtime; most people return to daily activities the same day. Small injection marks, redness, mild swelling or tiny bruises may occur and usually settle within a few days. Follow the soothing and sun-protection guidance we provide.

We check the actual ingredients and their concentration, the injection layer and the chance of allergy, bruising or inflammation, then plan around your skin concern.

NCTF is a solution that combines hyaluronic acid with a mix of revitalizing ingredients — including vitamins, amino acids, minerals and coenzymes. It is placed into the superficial layers of the skin through many small injections (mesotherapy), so the ingredients are delivered where they can hydrate and, by supporting fibroblast activity, encourage the skin’s own collagen renewal. It is a skin booster for skin quality rather than a filler used to add volume, and it does not use cell-based material. Over a series of sessions, people look for smoother, more hydrated and radiant-looking skin. (Results vary by individual.)

How it works

• 01

  What NCTF contains

  NCTF is a solution that combines hyaluronic acid with a mix of revitalizing ingredients — including vitamins, amino acids, minerals and coenzymes.

• 02

  Placed by micro-injection

  It is delivered into the superficial layers of the skin through many small injections (mesotherapy), so the ingredients reach where they can hydrate from within.

• 03

  Hydration plus fibroblast support

  The hyaluronic acid supports hydration, while the ingredient mix is used to support fibroblast activity and the skin’s own collagen renewal.

• 04

  Builds over a series

  Because it works with the skin over time, the look people seek — smoother, more hydrated, more radiant — tends to build across a series. (Results vary by individual.)

1. 01

   Ingredients and authenticity

   Consultation and skin assessment

2. 02

   Anatomy and expression

   Cleansing and, if needed, a numbing step for comfort

3. 03

   Small amounts, one stage at a time

   A short series — often a few sessions spaced two to four weeks apart — is common at first, followed by occasional maintenance, with skin looking gradually more hydrated and radiant. Your plan is personalized at consultation. (Results vary by individual.)

What the procedure is like

• Little downtime; most people return to daily activities the same day.
• Small injection marks, redness, mild swelling or tiny bruises may occur and usually settle within a few days.
• Follow the soothing and sun-protection guidance we provide.

Safety & considerations

This is an injectable procedure performed by medical staff. Suitability — including sensitive skin, allergies and pregnancy — is confirmed at consultation. Effects vary by individual, and side effects may occur.

1. DAY 0

   Treatment day

   Micro-injections are placed across the treatment area, sometimes after a numbing step. Small injection marks, redness or mild swelling may follow.

2. DAY 1-3

   Marks settle

   Small marks, redness or tiny bruises usually settle over a few days. Makeup and skincare resume as advised.

3. WEEK 1-2

   Hydrated look

   Skin may begin to look more hydrated and fresh. This varies from person to person.

4. ACROSS A SERIES

   Building over sessions

   A short series two to four weeks apart is common at first, with the look building gradually. (Results vary by individual.)

5. MAINTENANCE

   Occasional maintenance

   Occasional maintenance sessions may follow, with the interval planned at consultation.

Neither is “better” — they work differently and suit different goals. The right choice is decided after we assess your skin.

• Q. Where does the name Chanel Injection come from?

  It is a nickname people fell into using, not an official name. What we actually inject is NCTF, a mesotherapy product, and it has nothing to do with the fashion house. If you choose a treatment by its nickname you end up not knowing what is going into your skin, so it is safer to check it by the name of the ingredients.

• Q. What is in it?

  Along with hyaluronic acid it contains vitamins, amino acids, minerals and a number of other ingredients. The exact formulation differs from product to product, so we go through the ingredient list with you before the treatment. If you are allergic to a particular ingredient, or have ever reacted to one, please tell us in advance.

• Q. Is it injected many times across the whole face?

  It is a mesotherapy technique, so it is placed into the shallow layers in many small amounts. That is why needle marks appear in several places, and why we start after applying a numbing cream. We decide the area by looking at where skin texture and dryness bother you, and in some cases we treat the neck and the backs of the hands as well.

• Q. How many days do the marks and the redness last?

  The tiny needle marks and the redness usually settle within one to three days. Some people bruise, so we recommend leaving about a week before an important occasion. Skip makeup on the day itself, and put off saunas, strenuous exercise and alcohol.

• Q. Will one NCTF session be enough to make my skin feel hydrated?

  Some people feel hydrated after a single session, but as a rule we plan several sessions as one course. Because the treatment works on moisture and texture, a single change tends not to last long, and it has more the character of ongoing care. We decide the number of sessions and the intervals after seeing your skin and how it responds, and once a course is finished we set a maintenance rhythm together.

• Q. How do I choose a clinic for Chanel Injection (Filorga) in Gangnam, Seoul?

  Look at the examination and the plan rather than the treatment name. First, what the clinic checks before deciding — at QD Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, the first thing we look at for this treatment is “Dryness, fine lines and skin texture, and what is actually being injected”. Second, whether it explains why it recommends that scope and method, compared with the alternatives. Third, whether it reviews your progress with you when results are expected. Our doctor goes through these three points at consultation before the treatment is decided.
