- About
Dr. Fred Fortes, creator of the N3F® Protocol.
"I started on the corner of my street. I practised in three cities. Everything changed."
Dental surgeon trained at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, specialist in orofacial aesthetics, creator of the N3F® Protocol. Twenty years in practice, ten of them dedicated to one thing only: facial rejuvenation with hyaluronic acid.
A technique of his own, born in the practice.
Dr. Fred's work is full face with hyaluronic acid: a lifting, repositioning and restructuring technique he developed over years of seeing patients. He looks at the face as a whole and plans the treatment so it ages well.
That is where the N3F® Protocol came from: replacing what was lost, repositioning what dropped, enhancing what was always yours. Only hyaluronic acid. Only the whole face.
"Everyone is at a moment in life. I personalise the management of ageing according to yours."
