BRANDSThe latest brand that we’re highlighting in our guide series is Filorga – an innovative skincare brand. The brand is available in over 70 countries, present in 10,000 medical practices and sold through 8,000 sales points. The Filorga skincare brand has 18 products that are formulated to treat a variety of skincare concerns and issues. This core collection of product ranges from everyday products like cleansers and serums to treatments like masks.
What makes Filorga stand out from the crowd is its anti-ageing solutions that are designed for both medical professionals and use by the general public. The history of Filorga dates back to the 1970s, when its founder Dr Tordjman started to conduct his research into the skin’s ageing process. Filorga would eventually obtain a patent for its NCTF technology, an innovative solution that works by slowing down the aging process and correcting imperfections on your skin.
At the beginning, the Filorga Labroatoires were producing skincare products that were designed for professional use and treatments, such as fruit acid peels and hyaluronic acid injections. These products and treatments became popular within the fields of dermatology and aesthetic medicine.
After the success of its professional line, Filorga launched its first range of products for at-home use in 2007. The Medi-Cosmetique line is non-invasive, while still providing an effective skincare solution. These products work to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles, while restoring your skin’s brightness, strength, and density. It gives your skin a radiant glow and clears your complexion by removing imperfections and signs of aging.
Before we jump into the rest of our guide about everything you need to know about the French skincare brand, Filorga, we’re sharing five fun facts to get us started.
1. Every Filorga product is 100% paraben free and clinically tested.
2. The Filorga products are made using the brand’s world-famous HA + NCEF ingredient (formally NCTF) that is made using a blend of hyaluronic acid and a mixture of 12 vitamins, 23 amino acids, 6 minerals, 6 co-enzymes, 5 nucleic, and 2 antioxidants to improve your skin’s health.
3. The brand’s signature HA + NCFT (now known as the NCEF) formula began its life as an injectable treatment is now available in salons as a treatment similar to Botox.
4. Filorga uses chromosphere technology, which allows each of the molecules in the HA + NCEF to be small enough to penetrate into the layers of your skin.
5. What makes Filorga skincare exciting is its expertise in a wild range of fields – from dermatology and biology to aesthetic medicine and cosmetology. The brand is able to offer products that work for all skin types, including tackling age-related skin concerns.
Filorga is a brand that describes itself as having “unique DNA directly inspired by aesthetic medicine…at the heart of Filorga, a passionate aesthetic doctor”. The brand began in 1978 with Dr. Michel Tordjman, a French doctor with an interest in cell biology. After years of research, Tordjman created a unique injectable formula that works by acting on the key parameters of your skin. The original Laboratories Filorga brand was born from this passion for developing products that have unique benefits and are intended for everyday use.
Dr. Tordjman is considered by some to be the world’s greatest specialist in aesthetic medicine, leading to the popularity of Laboratories Filorga. He had a goal of creating a range of products that were formulated using hyaluronic acid, helping to extend the active ingredients used in the injectables. These revolutionary skincare products have an unparalleled formula.
Filorga has taken the same active ingredients that were used in the brand’s injectables and extended it to topical use. The brand’s signature NCEF active ingredient is made up of 50 components, including amino acids, coenzymes, antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins. What makes the NCEF unique is its anti-aging performance, including providing key cosmetic benefits that improve the appearance and quality of your skin.
In 2007, the brand expanded to include the creation of MEDI-COSMETIQUE, a range of anti-ageing products with a revolutionary formula that is based on the NCEF active ingredient. NCEF took the active ingredients from their injections and made them available as part of the brand’s products for public use.
Since its launch, the brand has expanded to include more than fifty cosmetic products that share the brand’s unique philosophy. They combine clinically proven and optimal ingredients that are visibly effective within 7 days.
The Filorga brand has now expanded to more than 70 countries around the world, including more than 10,000 medical practices.
The easiest way to look at the fascinating innovation of Filorga is to create a timeline of the brand’s success and development. In 1978, Tordjman was a cellular biologist who began to focus his research on cellular rejuvenation through mesotherapy. His products hit the market long before Botox became a success, using his innovative NCTF solution that acts on the 6 key parameters of skin quality. These early products targeted hydration, firmness, wrinkles, radiance, evenness, and pores. At the beginning, these anti-ageing mesotherapy injections were strictly used by trained professionals.
The original NCTF formula has now evolved into the NCEF compound that profounds your skin’s penetration.
In 2000, Laboratoires Filorga launched GLYKOPEEL, a collection of anti-ageing glycolic acid peels that are used by doctors to help rejuvenate your skin and improve its overall condition. 2007 saw the biggest change for the brand when it launched their MEDI-COSMETIQUE range for use by the general public, inspired by their original aesthetic medicine. Products have gradually launched over time, including the brand’s iconic and best-selling Meso-Mask and Optim-eyes treatments.
In 2009, the brand launched its aesthetic medicine, X-HA3, a range of injectable products that could combat deep lines and restore volume to your skin. Fast forward to 2014 and Filorga renewed its range of peels by introducing the TIME, BRIGHT, AND LIGHT peels. These products were the first made-to-measure superficial peels with gluconolactone to hit the market, enhancing the tolerance of even sensitive skin.
By 2016, the ART-FILLER range was developed by the aesthetic medicine branch of the company. These products were developed and created using one of the few global production units that could produce injectable hyaluronic acid-based products. It marked the start of a new generation of fillers, compromising of4 injectable products that could be used by aesthetic doctors as an adaptable methods to fill wrinkles.
The following year, Filorga’s MEDI-COSMETIQUE range became the leading anti-ageing range stocks in pharmacies and parapharmacies in France. In 2018, Filorga’s aesthetic medicine branch was renamed FILL MED.
