Not all skin is the same — and not all skin responds to stimulation in the same way.
For some, regeneration needs to be triggered.
For others — the skin first needs to be given the “material” to renew itself at all.
This is exactly where the combination of SkinPen microneedling and the NCTC cocktail comes into its own.
SkinPen triggers the process of controlled micro-trauma and neocollagenesis, activating fibroblasts and the skin’s regenerative mechanisms.
NCTC (New Cellular Treatment Concept) acts on the other side — as a complex of amino acids, vitamins, coenzymes and nucleotides that gives the skin what it often lacks: biological building blocks for regeneration.
In other words — we don’t only signal the skin to renew itself; we give it the resources to do so well.
The result is skin that doesn’t just look fresher; it appears hydrated, nourished and functionally renewed.
This combination is particularly powerful on skin that is exhausted, dehydrated or under chronic stress — when stimulation alone isn’t enough.
How is the treatment performed?
The treatment begins with SkinPen microneedling, creating precisely controlled micro-perforations in the skin, depending on the indication and the area being treated.
This activates:
- fibroblasts
- collagen and elastin synthesis
- regeneration of the dermal matrix
The NCTC cocktail is then applied; it penetrates the skin via the microchannels and acts on:
- cellular metabolism
- hydration
- the skin’s regenerative potential
This combination enables better absorption of active ingredients and an enhanced therapeutic effect.
For further results, the treatment is often combined with:
- Morpheus8 for deeper stimulation and skin tightening
- CO2 Smaxel laser for texture and regeneration
- Candela Nordlys for pigmentation and skin tone quality
- HIFU for a lifting effect and action on deeper layers
- PRP and Angel PRP (Arthrex) for additional regeneration
- exosomes for strong biological stimulation
- polynucleotides for renewal of the dermis
Who is the treatment for?
This combination is particularly indicated for:
- dehydrated, exhausted skin
- skin with loss of glow and vitality
- early signs of ageing
- uneven texture and enlarged pores
- skin exposed to stress, fatigue and external factors
- patients who want a natural improvement without volumisation
Ideal for those who feel their skin is “out of balance” — and needs both stimulation and nutritional support.
When are results visible?
The first effect is visible relatively quickly:
- better hydration
- a fresher look
- a subtle glow effect
But the real result comes gradually, through regeneration of the dermis and improved cellular function.
Over time the skin becomes:
- more elastic
- smoother
- more even
- more resilient
Recovery and precautions
After the treatment, the following are possible:
- redness
- mild sensitivity
- slight swelling
Recovery is short — typically 1–2 days.
We recommend:
- avoiding sun exposure and using SPF
- avoiding active products for a few days
- avoiding heat and exercise for 24–48 hours
Preparing for the treatment
Before the treatment a topical anaesthetic cream is applied to make the procedure as comfortable as possible.
We recommend:
- not consuming alcohol before the treatment
- avoiding medications that increase the tendency to bruise
- arriving without active inflammatory processes on the skin
Our approach
At our clinic these treatments aren’t pre-defined protocols — they are the outcome of an individual dermatological assessment.
Treatments are delivered by experienced dermatology specialists, with detailed planning and follow-up.
We give patients what makes the biggest difference in aesthetic medicine:
- time
- professional knowledge
- a clear plan
Because real reassurance comes from the feeling that the treatment is tailored specifically to you.
