Boost, Brighten, Glow: What Is an NCTF Skin Booster and Why Might You Want One?
If your skin’s been looking a little tired, dull or dehydrated (hello, post-winter blues 👋), then let me introduce you to a treatment that’s quickly becoming a client favourite at Essential Maintenance: NCTF Skin Boosters.
You might have heard the name floating around Instagram or TikTok, but what exactly is NCTF—and what can it do for your skin?
What is NCTF?
NCTF stands for New Cellular Treatment Factor—a cocktail of over 50 revitalising ingredients, including:
Hyaluronic acid
Amino acids
Vitamins
Co-enzymes
Antioxidants
Minerals
All blended together to deeply hydrate, improve elasticity, even out tone, and get your skin glowing again.
This isn’t filler—it’s skin health in a syringe. Think of it as a powerful multivitamin and hydration boost, delivered straight to where your skin needs it most.
What Are the Benefits?
NCTF Skin Boosters are a brilliant all-rounder. Some of the benefits include:
Deep hydration (much more than your average moisturiser can reach!)
Smoother skin texture
Reduction in fine lines
Improved skin tone and brightness
More elasticity and firmness
A refreshed, healthy glow
If your skin is feeling lacklustre, this is your reset button.
What Can It Help With?
NCTF treatments are ideal if you're struggling with:
Dehydrated or dry skin
Dull, uneven tone
Early signs of ageing
Fine lines and wrinkles
Post-acne pigmentation
General skin fatigue
It’s also a great option for summer events or pre-wedding prep—basically any time you want to feel radiant and refreshed.
What’s the Treatment Like?
Here at Essential Maintenance, a full NCTF face treatment includes:
A light chemical peel to prep the skin
NCTF treatment using tiny injections or microneedling to deliver those skin-loving ingredients
A tailored home-care plan to keep the glow going
It’s quick, effective, and completely customisable based on your needs. We also offer Lumieyes for the under-eye area—a brilliant option if you’re dealing with dark circles or crepey skin.
Final Thoughts
You don’t need to completely change your face to feel like your best self. Sometimes, a glow-up is just about giving your skin a boost and getting that fresh-faced confidence back.
If you're curious, come in for a consultation—we can chat about whether NCTF is the right fit for you and put together a plan that works for your goals (and your skin!).
