Today, due to a fast-paced lifestyle, environmental factors brought by city life, air pollution, stress, and time, certain changes are observed in the natural structure of our skin. The amount of hyaluronic acid, which gives the skin that unique vitality and moisture in our youth, and the production of collagen and elastin fibers tend to gradually decrease. If you notice a duller, more tired, and dehydrated expression on your skin when you look in the mirror compared to the past; if you observe that fine lines are gradually becoming more prominent, it means your skin actually needs nourishment on a cellular basis.
The modern medical aesthetics world goes beyond merely supporting the skin from the outside with creams, offering highly sophisticated solutions that deliver the building blocks the skin needs directly to the target tissue. At the forefront of these innovative and comfortable solutions is the “Paris Glow“, which enjoys immense popularity worldwide.
In our clinic located in Kartal Bumerang Residence, the aesthetics and health center of the Anatolian Side of Istanbul; our medical aesthetic approach for our clients reaching us from the Pendik, Maltepe, Ataşehir, and Tuzla regions is always in favor of naturalness. Our goal is to restore your skin’s natural glow and youthful energy without changing the expression on your face. As Dr. Mustafa Eray Erkek and his experienced team, we have compiled all the details you wonder about the Paris Glow (NCTF 135 HA) treatment, which offers cellular-level revitalization to your skin, in this guide with a scientific background but in a natural language that everyone can understand.
What is Paris Glow?
Paris Glow, medically known as NCTF 135 HA (New Cellular Treatment Factor), is a rich mesotherapy cocktail specially formulated to combat signs of aging, improve skin quality, and add profound vitality to the skin. This procedure is not a dermal filler or a Botox application; it does not freeze your mimics or add extra volume (swelling) to your face. It is strictly an “anti-aging” skin nourishment protocol aimed at increasing the overall quality of the skin.
This unique cocktail contains over 50 active ingredients that support the skin’s building blocks. In addition to a pure hyaluronic acid base that provides elasticity and intense moisture to the skin; it includes vitamins that support cellular functions, amino acids that trigger protein synthesis (collagen and elastin), coenzymes that strengthen intercellular communication, and powerful antioxidants that protect the skin from the damaging effects of free radicals. This rich formula acts almost like a “youth elixir” fed to thirsty and tired skin, helping the tissues to revitalize.
What Does Paris Glow Do? (What Are Its Benefits?)
Paris Glow initiates a multifaceted healing and repair process in different layers of the skin. The main benefits this treatment offers your skin are:
- Deep Hydration: Thanks to the highly concentrated free hyaluronic acid in its formula, it increases the skin’s water retention capacity. It eliminates the appearance of dryness and flaking caused by dehydration, giving the skin a silky texture.
- Natural Radiance and Vitality: It regulates the dull and grayish skin tone caused by stress, fatigue, smoking, or the effects of the sun. After the procedure, the skin begins to radiate a natural and healthy “glow,” just as its name suggests.
- Elimination of Fine Lines: It is highly effective in softening the appearance of the first fine lines that begin to form in areas such as around the eyes, neck, décolleté, and above the upper lip.
- Supporting Collagen Synthesis: The amino acids and vitamins in its formula stimulate fibroblast cells, the skin’s natural collagen production factory. This ensures that the skin gains a tighter and more elastic structure over time.
- Improvement in Pore Appearance: As skin elasticity increases and tissue quality improves, a tightening in the appearance of enlarged pores and a smoothing of the skin surface are noticed.
- Repair of Sun Damage: It acts as a powerful shield, especially in erasing the damaging effects of UV rays on the skin after the summer months and in preventing photoaging (sun-induced aging).
Who is Suitable for Paris Glow?
Paris Glow is a highly safe procedure suitable for anyone who values their skin and wants to take a proactive (preventive) approach against the signs of aging.
- Those who feel dullness, fatigue, and paleness in their skin,
- Those who experience moisture loss and observe that their skin is drying out and losing its elasticity,
- Those who are starting to develop fine wrinkles due to dehydration, apart from mimic lines,
- Those who want to improve skin quality and achieve a brighter, fresher, and more revitalized look,
- All individuals (men and women) who want to care for areas where the first signs of aging appear, such as the neck, décolleté, and the backs of the hands, can safely benefit from this treatment.
The procedure can be preferred as preventive care starting from the late 20s, and it can also be added to skincare routines as a restorative support at older ages.
Who is Not Suitable for Paris Glow?
Despite having a highly reliable and biologically compatible formula, like every medical aesthetic procedure, there are some special conditions where the Paris Glow application is not recommended:
- Pregnant and breastfeeding women (aesthetic injections are generally not recommended during these periods),
- People with an active infection, herpes, or an unhealed open wound in the application area (face, neck, etc.),
- Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients in its content (e.g., hyaluronic acid or certain vitamins),
- Patients with severe autoimmune diseases or undergoing active cancer treatment (application is not preferred without the approval of the relevant physician).
The Treatment Process: How is Paris Glow Applied?
At Dr. Mustafa Eray Erkek’s clinic, the Paris Glow treatment is applied within the framework of the meticulousness and high comfort standards brought by the GATA discipline. The step-by-step treatment process is as follows:
- Skin Analysis and Consultation: First, the specific needs of your skin are determined. Our physician plans which areas need to be focused on and the most suitable treatment protocol for you.
- Comfortable Anesthesia Stage: The areas to be treated (face, neck, or décolleté) are gently cleansed. To ensure the application is extremely comfortable, special local anesthetic creams are applied to the skin to make it completely numb.
- Micro-Injection Application: The NCTF 135 HA cocktail is injected into the thoroughly numbed skin using very fine-tipped special mesotherapy needles (nanosome needles) or state-of-the-art devices depending on our clinic’s equipment. The procedure is performed by distributing it equally over the entire surface of the skin at millimetric intervals beneath the skin.
- Return to Social Life: The procedure takes an average of 30-40 minutes, including the preparation stage. Right after the application, you can return directly to your daily routine, social life, or work. You will not experience any restrictions in the treated area.
How Many Sessions of Paris Glow are Applied and How Long Does Its Effect Last?
Rather than being a one-time magic trick, Paris Glow is a cumulative treatment process that rebuilds the skin at the cellular level. A session protocol is generally followed to ensure that the building blocks the skin needs fully settle into the tissue and collagen production reaches the desired level.
- Session Planning: Although it varies depending on your skin type and age, courses of 3 to 5 sessions, applied at intervals of 10-15 days, are generally recommended for the most ideal results. That fresh radiance and hydration in the skin begin to be felt from the very first session.
- Duration of Effect: After the sessions are completed, the skin’s repair process continues. While the permanence of the vibrant, hydrated, and radiant look achieved varies depending on the person’s lifestyle (water consumption, smoking, sleep patterns), it lasts on average between 6 months to 1 year. Small “reminder” sessions held a few times a year help support this glowing appearance so it remains continuous throughout the year.
Paris Glow Prices (Kartal, Istanbul)
Naturally, one of the most curious topics in the field of aesthetics and beauty is the planned budget. For our clients applying to our clinic from Kartal, Pendik, Ataşehir, Maltepe, and surrounding regions, our medical standards are built on transparency. In accordance with Ministry of Health guidelines, it is unfortunately not appropriate to state a fixed price or figure on internet platforms.
However, there are very clear criteria that determine the pricing of Paris Glow. The foremost among these are the dosage of the applied product in terms of amount (ml) and the width of the area to be treated (whether it will be applied only to the face, or the face, neck, and décolleté areas together). Furthermore, the total number of sessions to be determined according to the needs of your skin is another factor that shapes the cost. In our clinic, to guarantee the effectiveness of the treatment and the safety of our patients, only original, barcoded NCTF products meeting international quality standards are used. For the most accurate budget planning and the creation of a protocol specific to your skin, you can take advantage of the free preliminary consultations held in our clinic.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Is the Paris Glow procedure painful? Thanks to the high-quality anesthetic creams applied before the procedure and the very fine mesotherapy needles used, the sensation felt during the procedure is almost non-existent. Our clients experience a highly comfortable and relaxing process.
- Can I see the difference immediately after the first session? Yes, you can notice the increase in moisture and superficial radiance in your skin right after the first application. However, the true cellular renewal and improvement in fine lines become much more prominent as collagen production is supported—that is, in subsequent sessions.
- Can Paris Glow be done in the summer months? Absolutely. In fact, it is a highly ideal and recommended treatment to prevent the dryness and damage caused by the sun on the skin during the summer months and to keep the skin’s moisture barrier strong. It can be safely applied in all four seasons of the year.
- Can I have this procedure done at the same time as Botox or dermal fillers? Yes, it can be combined. While dynamic mimic wrinkles are brought under control with Botox or volume losses in the face are eliminated with dermal fillers, the overall tissue quality of the skin is enhanced with Paris Glow. This holistic approach creates a much more harmonious and fresh rejuvenating effect on your face.
