What is Chanel Injection?

Chanel Injection is a nickname used in Korea for NCTF 135HA, a skin booster made by Filorga, a French aesthetic laboratory. The name has no connection with the Chanel fashion and beauty house; it simply caught on as shorthand for a luxurious glow treatment. When you see it on Korean price lists, it refers to this product.

NCTF 135HA combines non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) with a complex of dozens of ingredients, including vitamins, amino acids, minerals, coenzymes and antioxidants. The aim is a well-nourished, hydrated, luminous complexion, often described as glass skin. It sits with our skin quality treatments in the treatment menu, and our guide to glass skin treatments explains how it fits a wider plan.

How Chanel Injection works

Hydration: HA draws water into the skin, plumping fine dehydration lines.
Nourishment: vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants support the cells that keep skin healthy and bright.
Glow: better-hydrated, healthier skin reflects light more evenly, which reads as radiance.

The product is delivered as many tiny injections across the face, a technique known as mesotherapy, so it spreads evenly in the upper skin.

Who is a good candidate?

Dull, tired-looking skin that has lost its glow
Dehydrated skin with fine surface lines
People preparing for a wedding, event or photo shoot
Those who want a gentle booster with little downtime

Chanel Injection is about radiance rather than repair or structure. If your skin is sensitized, thin or scarred, Rejuran Healer is usually a better fit. If you want a single session that lasts around six months, consider Skinvive. For the lowest-cost hydration, a classic HA skin booster works well.

Your session at Dernia, step by step

Consultation in English with a licensed medical doctor, who checks your skin and goals.
Numbing with topical anesthetic cream for about 20–30 minutes.
Injection: tiny, evenly spaced deposits across the face by hand or with an injector device.
Soothing with a calming mask.

Most people feel quick pricks; numbing keeps it comfortable. Because the nickname is used loosely, it is worth asking to see the sealed NCTF 135HA vial opened before treatment, a good habit for any booster at any clinic.

Downtime and aftercare

Small bumps appear at the injection points and usually settle within one to two days. Pinpoint bruises are possible. Light makeup is usually fine the next day. For 24 hours avoid saunas, alcohol and intense exercise, and pause exfoliating acids and retinoids for a few days. Drink plenty of water and use a simple moisturizer and sunscreen, which helps the hydration effect last. Read is there downtime after skin boosters for more.

Results: what to expect and when

Many people see fresher, more hydrated skin within a few days, once the bumps settle. The glow builds over a course of three sessions and usually lasts about three to six months, after which maintenance sessions keep it going. Results vary with age, lifestyle and how dehydrated your skin is to begin with, and it will not lift, fill or treat deep scars.

Chanel Injection vs Rejuran Healer

Both are popular in Korea, but they do different jobs. Chanel Injection focuses on hydration and radiance, while Rejuran repairs, thickens and calms. Read Chanel Injection vs Rejuran Healer or our honest Chanel Injection review.

Planning Chanel Injection around a trip to Seoul

One session fits a short stay, and the glow is visible within days, which makes it a popular pre-event treatment. Book it at least two days before photos. If you stay longer, two sessions a few weeks apart give a stronger result. Book a consultation and your doctor will plan the timing around your trip.

Safety: who should avoid or delay it

Chanel Injection is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with active infection or inflamed acne in the area, or with a known allergy to any of its ingredients. Tell your doctor about bleeding disorders, blood thinners and autoimmune conditions. At Dernia, it is injected by licensed medical doctors.

Is Chanel Injection made by Chanel?

No. Chanel Injection is a Korean nickname for NCTF 135HA, a skin booster made by Filorga. It has no connection with the Chanel brand.

How many Chanel Injection sessions do I need?

Three sessions a few weeks apart give the best glow. Many people then repeat it every few months for maintenance.

How long does Chanel Injection last?

After a course of three, results usually last about three to six months, depending on your skin and lifestyle.

Chanel Injection or Rejuran: which should I choose?

Choose Chanel Injection for hydration and radiance, and Rejuran for repair, calming and thin or sensitive skin. Your doctor may combine them at different times.
