Post-Procedure Care: 3-3-3 Rule

To optimize Radiesse integration and ensure consistent results, we advise our patients to follow the 3-3-3 rule:

  • Three times a day;

  • For three minutes at a time.;

  • For three days;

The massage should be done with moderate pressure, enough to mobilize the product under the skin, using firm, circular movements over the treated area.
It shouldn't just be a light touch — you need to feel the tissue being worked, always respecting the comfort limit and avoiding pain. This practice helps distribute the product evenly and prevent the formation of lumps.

The Role of Medical Expertise in Safety

Dr. Renata Ralha CRM-RJ 52-84102-1 / RQE 28115, Specialist Title from the Brazilian Society of Dermatology (SBD) — possesses solid training and extensive experience in injectable procedures, ensuring that each application is performed with precision, care, and naturalness.

Importance of Post-Procedure Follow-up

After the application, we instruct the patient with clear care instructions and we remain available to monitor the recovery.
This monitoring allows for the prompt identification and management of any unexpected reactions, offering peace of mind and security throughout the entire process.
