Endolift

Endolift is a medical aesthetic treatment that tightens tissue from within using a very fine laser fibre placed under the skin, helping to reduce small fat deposits without any incision.

Overview

Laxity and small fat deposits in the lower face, along the jawline and under the chin can make the face look more tired and less defined with age.

In an Endolift treatment, an optical fibre finer than a hair is inserted under the skin through a needle entry point. The laser energy delivered through the fibre heats the tissue from within, helping it tighten and stimulating collagen production.

The treatment is carried out under local anaesthesia and requires no incisions or stitches. The result develops gradually over the following months.

What Is Endolift?

Endolift is a minimally invasive laser treatment in which the laser energy is delivered from beneath the skin rather than through its surface. The energy heats the connective tissue under the skin, causing it to contract and, over time, to form new collagen; it can also help reduce small, heat-sensitive fat deposits.

Which Areas Can Be Treated With Endolift?

Jawline and jowls: a clearer lower-face contour
Under the chin: reducing laxity and small fat deposits
Cheeks and around the mouth: tightening mild sagging
Neck: supporting skin firmness
Small areas of the body, such as above the knees and the inner arms

Who Is Endolift Suitable For?

Endolift is suitable for people with mild to moderate laxity and small fat deposits who want a firmer look without surgery.

It may not be enough on its own for advanced sagging with marked excess skin. Pregnancy, an active infection in the treatment area and some bleeding disorders are assessed separately at the consultation.

How Is Endolift Performed?

The treatment area is marked, cleansed and numbed with local anaesthetic. The laser fibre is inserted under the skin through small needle entry points and moved along the planned lines while the energy is delivered.

The treatment usually takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the size of the area. Because the entry points are very small, no stitches are needed.

After Endolift: Recovery and Results

In the first few days there may be swelling, mild bruising and a feeling of tightness, which usually settle within a few days. Most people return to their daily routine within 1–2 days.

The tightening develops gradually over the following months as new collagen forms. For most people a single session is enough; if needed, an additional session is planned by the physician.

Possible Risks and Side Effects

Swelling, bruising and temporary tenderness
Temporary numbness or a feeling of firmness
Rarely, heat-related skin damage or irregularities
Rarely, infection

Delivering the right amount of energy in the right layer is key to reducing side effects.

Factors That Affect the Cost of Endolift

The cost of Endolift is calculated individually, based on the plan agreed at the consultation. The main factors are:

The number and size of the areas treated
Any additional session that may be needed
Whether it is planned together with other treatments

The information on this page is for general guidance only; diagnosis and treatment plans are decided individually after a physician's examination.

Treatment Process

Consultation and Assessment

The degree of laxity and the fat deposits are assessed, and whether Endolift suits you and which areas will be treated are decided.

The Treatment

Under local anaesthesia, the laser fibre is placed under the skin and the energy is delivered along the planned lines.

Recovery and Follow-up

Advice for the first few days is given, and the result is reviewed at the check-up appointment.

Who is it suitable for?

People with laxity and small fat deposits along the jawline and under the chin
Those who want a firmer look without surgery
People without an active infection in the treatment area
People with realistic expectations who are able to follow the aftercare advice

Quick Facts

Duration: 30–60 minutes
Treatment Model: Usually a single session
Recovery: Most people return to daily life within 1–2 days
Method: Subdermal laser under local anaesthesia

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Endolift painful?

Because the treatment is carried out under local anaesthesia, you usually feel only mild warmth or pressure during the procedure. There may be some tenderness in the following days.

When will I see the results of Endolift?

An initial tightening may be noticed quite soon; the main effect develops gradually over the following months as new collagen forms.

What is the difference between Endolift and HIFU?

HIFU delivers energy from outside the skin with focused ultrasound and needs no needle. Endolift delivers energy directly under the skin through a fine laser fibre and can also act on small fat deposits. Which is right for you is decided at the consultation.

How many Endolift sessions are needed?

For most people a single session is enough. If needed, an additional session is planned by the physician after the first result has been assessed.

What does the cost of Endolift depend on?

It depends on the number and size of the areas treated, any additional session and whether it is combined with other treatments. The exact price is set after the consultation.
