What is NCTF^® BOOST 135 HA?

NCTF® BOOST 135 HA is a unique poly-revitalising complex developed by Laboratoires Filorga.

It nourishes the epidermis by providing essential ingredients that help the skin perform at its best, creating an optimal environment for fibroblasts – the cells involved in collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production.

NCTF® BOOST 135 HA provides the essential nutrients for optimal fibroblast activity, helping maintain the skin’s structure and vitality.

Formulated with more than 50 active ingredients, it includes:

Hyaluronic Acid – supports hydration and suppleness

Amino Acids, Vitamins & Minerals – provide building blocks for healthy-looking skin

Coenzymes & Nucleic Acids – assist with energy processes and cellular communication

Antioxidants – help defend against environmental stressors and promote a luminous appearance

When professionally infused during microneedling, this complex helps condition, hydrate, and refine the skin’s surface for a smooth, radiant finish.

Microneedling Technique for Epidermal Application

During the procedure, a precision microneedling device creates fine, controlled micro-channels in the upper layers of the skin (epidermis). This technique supports the skin’s natural renewal while allowing the NCTF® BOOST 135 HA complex to reach optimal contact for enhanced topical absorption.

Benefits of the Microneedling

While experiences vary, the technique is designed to:

Support the skin’s natural repair response, aiding smoothness and balance
Encourage collagen and elastin activity, improving overall texture
Maximise ingredient absorption, enhancing the effects of professional formulations like NCTF® BOOST 135 HA

How It Works

Your clinician performs microneedling using a sterile, precision-controlled device.

Once micro-channels are created, NCTF® BOOST 135 HA is applied or infused into the skin for optimal contact and absorption. The combination supports hydration and visible refinement, leaving the skin feeling smooth, balanced, and refreshed.

Benefits of Microneedling + NCTF^® BOOST 135 HA

While individual outcomes differ, this treatment is designed to:

Support hydration and barrier comfort
Refine texture and smooth the skin’s surface
Enhance visible radiance and even tone
Complement other professional procedures with minimal downtime

Who It’s For

Suitable for most skin types, this treatment is often selected by clients who:

Want to maintain hydrated skin health
Prefer a professional-grade boost within a clinician-led environment
Seek smoother, more balanced skin without extended downtime

Your clinician will assess your skin to confirm suitability and tailor the treatment plan to your needs.

Post-Treatment Care

After treatment, mild redness or warmth may occur for a few hours. To support recovery:

Avoid heat exposure (exercise, saunas, hot showers) for 24 hours
Pause active skincare (retinols, acids, exfoliants) for 3–5 days
Keep the skin hydrated and apply broad-spectrum SPF daily

Your clinician will provide personalised aftercare and home-care recommendations.

Potential Risks & Considerations

Microneedling with NCTF® BOOST 135 HA should only be performed by trained clinicians using sterile techniques and verified formulations.

Following treatment, it is common to experience temporary redness, mild swelling, sensitivity, or light flaking as the skin settles.

Less commonly, clients may experience breakouts, small bruises, or superficial dryness.
Rare effects can include infection, prolonged irritation, or allergic reaction to the topical ingredients used.

Your clinician will conduct a pre-treatment consultation to confirm suitability, review your skincare and medical history, and explain what to expect before, during, and after your session.
