Endolift: Laser Treatment for Firm Skin Without Surgery

Endolift is a minimally invasive laser treatment in which a thin optical fibre (0.1 mm diameter) is introduced beneath the skin through a micro-needle. The laser energy delivered destroys fat cells and stimulates immediate collagen contraction and new collagen formation. The result: skin tightening and mild fat reduction in the treated area — without large incisions, without general anaesthesia and with minimal downtime.

How Endolift Works

  1. Local anaesthesia of the treatment area
  2. Introduction of the optical fibre through a micro-needle
  3. Delivery of laser energy (1470 nm) directly in the subcutaneous tissue
  4. Thermal effect: fat cell destruction + collagen contraction
  5. Immediate skin tightening + long-term collagen formation over 3–6 months

Indications

  • Face and neck: Jowl tightening, jawline definition, neck laxity
  • Upper eyelids: Mild hooding without surgery
  • Arms and abdomen: Mild skin laxity and localised fat
  • Knees and thighs: Inner thigh laxity
