1. What is NCTF (Paris Glow) and What Is It Used For?

NCTF (Paris Glow) is a professional mesotherapy method applied to enhance skin quality and achieve a more vibrant, youthful appearance. The most well-known and trusted formulation of this treatment is Filorga NCTF 135 HA. Its rich content includes a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and coenzimes.

Primary Objectives:

• Deeply hydrating the skin and increasing its moisture-retention capacity,
• Evening out skin tone and correcting discolorations,
• Reducing a dull, pale, and fatigued appearance,
• Diminishing the appearance of fine lines and superficial wrinkles,
• Imparting a natural glow, radiance, and elasticity to the skin.

Important Note: This treatment is not a dermal filler and does not add volume to the face. Its primary objective is to improve skin quality directly at a cellular level.

6. What is PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)?

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a procedure where a small sample of the patient’s own blood is drawn, processed through a special centrifuge to separate the plasma rich in growth factors, and then reinjected into the patient’s skin or target tissue.

Primary Objective: To utilize the body’s own cells to stimulate cellular regeneration, collagen production, and natural repair mechanisms within the skin and tissues at an accelerated rate.
