Specialists from Filorga's laboratory Filorga (France) have been dealing with the problems of skin aging since the early 80s of the twentieth century. And for 30 years now, the brand’s products have been widely used by dermatologists and cosmetologists in 54 countries around the world and have a huge number of positive reviews. As a recognized expert in the field of aesthetic medicine, the Filorga laboratory creates drugs to combat not only wrinkles, but also the loss of skin radiance, tone and elasticity. The brand's products include mesotherapy cocktails NCTF 135, contouring preparations based on X-HA hyaluronic acid, glycolic peeling and the Filorga cosmetic line. An integrated approach to correcting involutional changes in facial skin allows you to restore lost volume, achieve a uniform complexion and provide deep hydration to the skin.
The Filorga brand was founded by Dr. Michel Tordjman. He assembled a group of scientists and conducted a series of studies aimed at studying the processes of skin aging. These developments formed the basis for the creation of drugs to combat age-related skin changes in patients of all ages.
In 2006, the Filorga laboratory received the ISO 13485 trademark, indicating compliance with all standards for the production of pharmaceuticals. Filorga products are CE marked, guaranteeing their full compliance with the strict quality and safety requirements adopted in the European Union.
Preparations for the procedure
The following medications are used to carry out Filorga biorevitalization:
- M-HA10 - intended for monotherapy, also used when it is necessary to use complex products for the rehabilitation of the skin.
- M-HA18 is a dermal filler for smoothing wrinkles, has a soft, gradual effect. With its help, the skin is significantly moisturized and becomes more toned. Used as a medicine for superficial injections.
- NCTF 135 is a polyrevitalizing solution for improving skin quality from Filorga. The composition of the drug Filorga NCTF 135 HA includes high molecular weight hyaluronic acid 1.4 million Da + 54 active ingredients (vitamins, amino acids, coenzymes, minerals, nucleosides, antioxidants). Due to the rich composition of the cocktail, injection procedures using NCTF135 are more often referred to as facial mesotherapy rather than classical biorevitalization.
M-HA 10: composition and main indications
The Filorga company has developed this drug to carry out a new type of biorevitalization, since the drug has unique properties. This drug was developed as a replacement for AcHyal, and is not just an alternative, but an improved modification. The preparation contains hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin in an amount of 10 mg/ml. The molecular mass of the substance is 1.1 million Daltons.
Indications:

Among the main substances that stand out as particularly useful in the composition are hyaluronic acid, added to the product in the amount of 18 mg/ml, as well as glycerol, also contained in a small proportion of 20 mg/ml. It is this substance that can provide an excellent effect from the drug for a long time without the need to maintain or restore the amount of the drug in the tissues.

Mesotherapeutic preparations from Filorga laboratory NCTF 135
NCTF 135 preparations are the gold standard of facial mesotherapy. This is the world's first line of mesotherapy cocktails with CE marking, and today it has no analogues. There are a huge number of positive reviews from patients all over the world. NCTF 135 cocktails contain, in addition to unstabilized hyaluronic acid of varying concentrations, 54 active components: a complex of vitamins, amino acids, minerals, nucleosides, coenzymes, antioxidants necessary for the synthesis of collagen and elastin. Multicomplex drugs began to be called polyrevitalizants. This is a new class of drugs that combines the advantages of classic drugs based on hyaluronic acid and mesotherapy cocktails that have a restructuring effect on the skin. Polyrevitalization is a highly effective method of restoring the structure and quality of the skin, increasing its turgor and elasticity, and leveling the microrelief. This method can be recommended for both preventive and therapeutic purposes. Particularly noteworthy is the drug NCTF 135 HA+, which is available in 3 ml bottles containing 10 mg/ml hyaluronic acid. “Extra-enriched cocktail” NCTF 135 HA+ is intended for the prevention and correction of signs of aging. The intensive course includes 3-5 procedures with an interval of 14-21 days, and the maintenance course - with an interval of 2-3 months. The number of procedures and intervals between them are determined individually depending on the initial condition of the patient’s skin.
Carrying out the procedure
- Step 1. The treated areas of the body are prepared for injection. If necessary, anesthesia is administered, then a soothing mask is applied. The skin is refreshed, giving the patient a feeling of comfort, and the surface responds better to the administration of the drug.
- Step 2. Disinfection is carried out. A biorevitalizant is selected, information about it is entered into the medical record. The product is opened in the presence of the patient. The required amount of solution is calculated for each person separately; on average, 3 ml is enough for one procedure.
- Step 3. A 30G–31G needle is inserted into the superficial layers of the dermis. As a result, “micropapules” are formed. The distance between the injection points is from 0.5 cm to 1 cm. Papules are formed 1-2 mm in volume. Injections are performed by immersing the needle 2 mm, maintaining an angle of 30–45°. Severe problems are eliminated by introducing the drug into the deep layers of the skin. In this case, “deep intradermal papules” are created with the help of the drug.
- Step 4. Once the required number of injections have been made, the surface is covered with an antiseptic to avoid infection and other complications at the injection sites. A Filorga mask is used to stabilize the skin layers.
- Step 5. Cream with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect is evenly distributed over the skin.
Correction of the paraorbital zone with Filorga M-HA 18 photos “before” and immediately “after” the procedure. Over the next 14 days, uniform lightening will occur. Atraumatic technique using a cannula. No bruises.
Features of Filogra preparations
- Filorga biorevitalizants are not recommended for treating the area around the eyes if there is swelling or a pasty skin tone. The drug should not be used if there is a hernia.
- After the last procedure, you can sunbathe under the sun or be exposed to any other radiation no earlier than 14 days. If you neglect this rule, hyperpigmentation may develop.
- Filorga preparations help prevent hair loss. To get rid of hair loss, it is necessary to carry out about 7 procedures with an interval of 7 days. If necessary, several drugs are selected that can be alternated with each other.
- After a course of biorevitalization with Filorga preparations, you can use other procedures only after 7 days. If there are complications, the pause is longer.
Biorevitalization from Filorga laboratory
To replace the well-known biorevitalization drug AcHyal, the Filorga laboratory has released a new drug M-HA 10, which contains 10 mg/ml of free hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin. The drug M-HA 10 is available in 3 ml bottles. A high degree of purification allows the biorevitalization procedure to be carried out by a patient with sensitive skin.
Biorevitalization with M-HA 10 is carried out in the area of the face, neck and décolleté; the procedure can be carried out in the area around the eyes. M-HA 18 is an innovative drug for biorevitalization, consisting of hyaluronic acid 1.8%, stabilized by glycerol. Available in syringes of 1 ml. In the skin, the drug undergoes hydrolysis, which takes 3-4 weeks. Gradual hydrolysis allows the drug to have a long-term stimulating effect on dermal cells. M-HA 18 can be recommended for long-term hydration, as well as for the correction of dark circles under the eyes. The drug is administered finely, somewhat deeper than other biorevitalization drugs. Papules after the procedure last 2-3 days.
Reviews
Oksana, cosmetologist “I take Filorga M-HA 18 both papular and retrograde. The composition of the drug is identical to Princess Rich, and the price is approximately the same. Preparations with glycerol, this makes the gel thick, so they are ideal for older patients. The result and experience with the drug are excellent!”
Tatyana, 42 years old “I recently had biorevitalization done with the drug M-NA 18. I liked the procedure, but first the preparatory measures were carried out. The face was freshened, a mask was made, and only then the procedure began. Despite the anesthesia, there was pain. The neck area is especially sensitive. After the injections, pimples remain, and they persist even after applying a mask, so I advise you to set aside a couple of days off to have time for rehabilitation.”
Maria, 39 years old “I like the word “bio” in the biorevitalization procedure. When I noticed these injections, I consulted with my cosmetologist and together we came to the conclusion that the drug from the Filorga company was suitable for me. After the procedure, I was covered in blisters from the injections. When the injection marks disappeared, I was amazed at the result. The skin smoothed out, became velvety, small wrinkles completely disappeared. I hope the effect will last for a long time."
Inna, 55 years old “Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of our skin. I consulted with a cosmetologist, she recommended the drug Filorga. I was not disappointed with the result. I have heard a lot about side effects, but have not experienced them myself, so I advise you to try this remedy. When the marks from the injections disappeared, the surface became much cleaner, smoother, moisturized, even the oval of the face became more toned. I am especially pleased that I finally got rid of age spots.”
Filorga's products are distinguished by their moisturizing effect. Patients receive a comprehensive result in the form of removal of internal and external signs of aging. The skin becomes thicker, more elastic, and people notice a smoothing of its texture. Patients receive a prolonged effect in softening the intensity and gradually removing areas of hyperpigmentation, smoothing out medium and large wrinkles.
Duration of action
The gel is injected with 27G 1⁄2 needles into the middle and deep dermal layers and, thanks to its uniform consistency, evenly fills the empty subcutaneous spaces. The results obtained can be enjoyed within 9-12 months.
It should be remembered that injections should only be carried out by a suitably qualified specialist. Fillmed X-HA 3 restores the natural volume of the face, corrects expression lines, as well as deep and medium wrinkles and folds, including perioral ones, and also increases the volume of the lips, cheekbones and cheeks.
Filorga meso cocktails – varieties and composition
The NCTF mesotherapy complex, unique and unique in its composition, is the basis not only for solutions for anti-aging injections, but is also included in many cosmetic preparations developed by the Filorga laboratory. The formula is patented by the company and has no analogues.
The main element of the formula is hyaluronic acid with a complex of acids, minerals and antioxidants:
- Unstabilized native HA (artificial origin), contained in preparations in different concentrations for clients of different age categories.
- A wide vitamin complex (A, B, E, C, I), which provides a comprehensive effect on skin vessels, increases skin elasticity, brightens it, moisturizes it and participates in regenerative processes;
- 20 amino acids that accelerate cellular processes and promote skin renewal by stimulating the synthesis of elastin and collagen.
- 6 coenzymes that activate metabolic processes, restoring the water balance of the skin and promoting the rapid absorption of other components.
- 5 nucleic acids that regulate the formation of amino acid chains during protein synthesis.
- 2 antioxidants that prevent the formation of free radicals (oxides).
- 4 minerals that help normalize ionic balance in the skin.
This complex is included in all cocktails of the NCTF 135 series. The main difference between them is the amount of hyaluronic acid in their composition. All injection solutions are available in 3 ml bottles. There are 5 bottles in total - with the calculation of 1 bottle per 1 session. Apparently, this is provided by the manufacturer for the convenience of carrying out a full course of mesotherapy when purchasing one package.
Let's take a closer look at the indications for the use of cocktails, their composition and the conditions under which the effectiveness of the drug will reach its maximum value.
NCTF 135+
The content of hyaluronic acid is 0.025 mg per 3 ml, so the drug with this label is popular among clients under 30 years of age.

- scar correction;
- skin hydration;
- treatment of acne, acne, furunculosis;
- prevention of skin aging;
- baldness (scalp mesotherapy).
Injections are carried out using the papular technique, which promotes the accumulation of the drug in the dermal tissues. Superficial nappage is carried out using a special device for mesoinjections - during the procedure, the doctor makes about 500 punctures in one area of the skin.
The optimal course is 4-6 sessions with 1-2 week intervals. In the future, it is advisable to carry out about 3 procedures, one every 3 months.
NCTF 135 NA (Enriched)
The drug was labeled “enriched” due to the higher content of hyaluronic acid - 5 mg per bottle. Recommended for people aged 30-35, because the first signs of aging begin to appear at age 30. The list of indications for injections with the drug looks like this:
- correction of minor signs of aging;
- skin whitening;
