What is Endolift?

Endolift is a minimally invasive laser treatment that bridges the gap between non-surgical devices and a surgical facelift. A very fine optical fibre (approximately 0.3mm in diameter) is inserted through a tiny entry point in the skin and used to deliver 1470nm diode laser energy directly beneath the skin surface. This energy simultaneously melts localised fat deposits and causes the overlying skin to contract and tighten from within.

Unlike surface-based devices such as HIFU or Morpheus8, Endolift works from the inside out — the laser energy is delivered precisely where it is needed, without having to penetrate through the skin surface. This allows for more targeted treatment of specific areas such as the jawline, jowls, and neck.

Clinical note

Endolift is a medical procedure that must be performed by a medically qualified practitioner with specific training in the technique. The procedure requires local anaesthetic and carries a higher risk profile than non-invasive treatments. It is best suited to patients with moderate skin laxity who are not yet ready for surgery but have not achieved adequate results from non-invasive devices.

What can be treated?

  • Jowls and jawline: Tightening loose skin and reducing jowling along the jawline.
  • Neck: Tightening loose neck skin and reducing a double chin.
  • Cheeks: Lifting and tightening the mid-face.
  • Arms: Tightening loose skin on the upper arms.
  • Abdomen: Tightening loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy.
  • Knees: Tightening loose skin around the knees.

What to expect — the process

  • Consultation: A thorough assessment is essential to determine whether Endolift is appropriate. The practitioner should assess the degree of skin laxity, fat distribution, and whether a non-invasive or surgical approach would be more suitable.
  • Preparation: Local anaesthetic is injected into the treatment area before the procedure begins.
  • The treatment: The optical fibre is inserted through tiny entry points (approximately 1mm) and passed beneath the skin. The laser energy is delivered as the fibre is moved through the tissue. A full face and neck treatment takes 60–90 minutes.
  • Downtime: Expect significant swelling and bruising for 1–2 weeks. Most patients are able to return to work after 7–10 days.
  • Results: Initial tightening is visible immediately, but the full result develops over 4–8 weeks as swelling resolves and collagen remodelling occurs. Results typically last 2–3 years.
Important safety information

Endolift is a medical procedure with a higher risk profile than non-invasive treatments. Complications include burns, scarring, asymmetry, and nerve damage. It must only be performed by a medically qualified practitioner with specific training in the Endolift technique. Ensure your practitioner has performed a significant number of Endolift procedures and can show you before-and-after photographs of their own patients.

How to choose a clinic

Endolift requires specific training and significant clinical experience. Ask how many Endolift procedures your practitioner has performed, request to see before-and-after photographs of their own patients, and ensure they have a clear protocol for managing complications. The procedure should always be performed in a clinical setting with appropriate anaesthetic support.
