What Are “Chanel Injections”?

• The term “Chanel Injections” in Seoul typically refers to the injectable skin-booster known as Filorga NCTF 135HA (sometimes styled as “NCTF 135HA”) — a multi-nutrient skin‐booster cocktail containing hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids, minerals and antioxidants.
• It is marketed as a luxurious injectable for skin hydration, glow, texture improvement, fine-line softening and overall “glass skin” enhancement.
• The nickname “Chanel” appears to stem from its positioning as a luxury-injection treatment in Korea (not actually linked to the Chanel brand) — but many clinics use the term for marketing. For example, one article notes: > “The most popular skin-booster shot… ‘Chanel injection’… a solution of HA and amino acids, vitamins A, B, C, E…”

✅ Why Get Them in Seoul?

• Seoul, especially the Gangnam district, hosts many aesthetic-dermatology clinics with experience in skin-booster injections, including treatments like Filorga/NCTF.
• For international patients: Many clinics in Gangnam advertise English-friendly services and transparent pricing for skin booster injections.
• The treatment fits well for “refreshed skin” when you want glow/hydration/texture improvement rather than large volume changes or major surgery.

🎯 Ideal Candidates & Considerations

Good for you if you:

• Have skin concerns like dullness, dehydration, visible pores, early fine lines, or want a refreshed “glow”.
• Prefer a minimally invasive treatment with low downtime.
• Want to improve skin texture, firmness, and hydration rather than large volume changes.

Be aware / ask about if you:

• Expect major structural changes (these boosters improve quality, not big volume).
• Have very thin eyelid skin, active skin infections, or certain medical contraindications (always check with the clinic).
• Are traveling: although downtime is minimal, you might want to allow a day or two for mild swelling/redness.

📝 Key Questions to Ask at the Clinic

• Which brand/product will be used? (Filorga NCTF 135HA or equivalent)
• How many injections/sessions recommended for your skin condition and goals?
• What is included in the cost (consultation + injection + after-care)?
• Who will perform the injections (board-certified dermatologist or trained injector)?
• What is the post-treatment care (sun protection, avoid heavy activity, etc.)?
• Are before/after photos available of cases with similar skin issues?
• As an international patient: Is language support available? What about after-care once you leave?
