Quick answer
Full Face 3D is the technique I use to rejuvenate the face in layers. Aging happens in the bone, in the fat and in the skin, and each layer has its own treatment, which is why I combine hyaluronic acid, collagen biostimulators, botulinum toxin, peels and technologies in the same plan. It is indicated for people with several concerns about their face, such as loss of contour, marked nasolabial folds and skin that has lost firmness, who want a natural result. Duration varies with each treatment: the toxin lasts months, and in studies the results of fillers and biostimulators are followed for about 1 to 2 years. The plan and the number of stages come out of the in-person consultation.
Who it is for
I have several concerns about my face and do not know where to start.
My eye area looks hollow and I have lost my jawline definition.
My nasolabial folds have become marked and make me look tired.
I want to rejuvenate without looking like I had work done.
How I do it
The truth is that many people come here with several concerns about their face and no idea what to do. I always start by explaining that aging is three-dimensional. We age in the skin, which is what we can see, in the fat underneath and in the bone. Each layer has a specific treatment, and that is why the face needs to be looked at in layers before any decision.
Full Face 3D is my technique for doing that planning, and you will also hear me call it a multilayer protocol. At the consultation, I see what you have lost in bone and fat and how the texture of your skin is doing. From there, I combine what each layer calls for: structural hyaluronic acid to restore the support you have lost, hyaluronic acid for hydration, collagen biostimulators, botulinum toxin, peels, peptides and technologies, such as microfocused ultrasound and lasers. Not every patient needs all of that. A well-planned Full Face is not about filling everything, it is about knowing where, how much and why to treat each area.
Harmonization is not something to rush. In some cases I combine several treatments in the same session, and some results we build over months, across more than one appointment. The goal is never to transform your features, but to work on proportions, contour and skin quality, respecting your anatomy. To me, rejuvenating is not about trying to look 20, it is about aging well, preserving your expression. If that makes sense to you, together we will build your plan.

Cases published on my Instagram. Disclosure follows Brazilian Federal Council of Dentistry (CFO) Resolution 196/2019. Results vary from person to person and depend on individual evaluation.
What can happen
Because Full Face 3D combines treatments, aftercare depends on what went into your plan. After injectables, swelling, bruising, tenderness and some temporary asymmetry are common, and they usually improve within days to a few weeks. There are rare complications, including vascular ones, that need to be recognized and treated promptly, which is why the procedures must be performed by a qualified practitioner with knowledge of anatomy. Before we start, let me know about pregnancy, breastfeeding, allergies, medical conditions and any medication you take regularly. Results vary from person to person, and the indication for each stage comes out of the consultation.
Frequently asked questions
What is Full Face 3D?
It is the way I plan the rejuvenation of the face in layers. I assess the bone, the fat and the skin and combine the treatments each layer calls for, such as hyaluronic acid, collagen biostimulators, botulinum toxin, peels and technologies. It goes much further than filler, and the plan is different for every face.
How long does the effect of a full face last?
There is no single timeframe, because Full Face 3D brings together treatments that last for different lengths of time. Botulinum toxin generally lasts 3 to 6 months. In studies, the results of hyaluronic acid fillers and biostimulators are followed for about 1 to 2 years. That is why we schedule follow-ups and maintain each layer on its own timeline.
Who cannot have harmonization?
Pregnant and breastfeeding women should postpone, because there are no safety data for those periods. It is also not applied to an area with active infection or inflammation. Neuromuscular diseases, autoimmune diseases, uncontrolled diabetes, clotting problems and allergies need to be assessed first, and some cases are not indicated. That is why I ask about your health and the medication you take before any procedure.
How much does a full face cost?
The price depends on the plan, which comes out of the consultation. Full Face 3D is not a fixed package, so I can only talk about pricing after I see what your face needs in each layer and in how many stages we will do it.
