Endolift^®

Endolift® may suit adults with early to moderate skin laxity and/or stubborn fat in the lower face, jawline or under the chin who want non-surgical skin tightening and definition without surgery. The Facial Sculpting team assesses your suitability during consultation.

Endolift® is not used on the lower eyelid — Dr Nina Bal refers that area to an oculoplastic surgeon with specialist training. It is generally not appropriate for significant skin excess or marked sagging that needs surgical assessment, and may not be suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with active infection in the area, certain medical conditions, or where expectations are not realistic. Suitability is always confirmed at consultation.

Endolift® is a minimally invasive laser procedure performed under local anaesthetic by a trained practitioner. As with any medical aesthetic treatment, careful patient selection, accurate planning and practitioner experience are central to safety. Possible side effects (temporary swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness or numbness) are discussed in full at consultation, and Dr Nina will only proceed when she believes the treatment is appropriate for you.

Common areas are the mid to lower face, the mandibular border (jawline) and under the chin. The neck can be added in a combined face + neck plan. Dr Nina Bal does not treat the lower eyelid with Endolift®. Your treatment plan is tailored to your anatomy and goals.

Endolift® can be a good option for early jowls and softening jawline definition. For mild to moderate jowling without significant skin excess, it can tighten the connective tissue and refine the lower-face line. Where jowling is more advanced or paired with significant excess skin, Dr Nina will say so honestly and discuss alternatives, including surgical referral.

Endolift® can help reduce small, stubborn pockets of submental (under-chin) fat while also tightening overlying skin in the same area. It is best suited to discrete fullness rather than a heavy double chin — your anatomy is assessed at consultation to confirm whether Endolift® or a combination treatment is most appropriate.

For early to moderate neck laxity, the face + neck Endolift® plan can improve firmness and definition of the upper neck and jawline as collagen rebuilds. For pronounced neck banding or significant skin excess, a surgical opinion may be more appropriate. Dr Nina will tell you honestly what Endolift® can and cannot achieve for your concern.

The lower eyelid is anatomically delicate and is best managed by an oculoplastic surgeon with specialist training in this area. Dr Nina refers cases that need lower-eyelid assessment rather than performing Endolift® there — this is a deliberate safety position, not a limitation of the device.

A very fine optical laser fibre is introduced under the skin to deliver gentle, controlled heat. This tightens and retracts the connective septae (the supportive tissue under the skin) and stimulates new collagen, while also helping to reduce small, stubborn fat pockets — together this firms and redefines the lower face over time.

No. Endolift® is minimally invasive and works best for early to moderate laxity; it cannot remove significant excess skin or correct advanced sagging. A surgical facelift may be the better option where there is meaningful skin excess or advanced descent. The right choice for you is discussed honestly at consultation.

HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) is non-invasive — energy is delivered through the skin — and is best for mild laxity with no downtime. Endolift® is minimally invasive: a fine fibre is placed under the skin to deliver more focused heat and direct collagen stimulation, often giving a stronger lifting and contouring effect for early-to-moderate laxity. Dr Nina advises which is most suitable for your anatomy.

EMFACE® is needle-free and works the muscle and skin layer simultaneously using radiofrequency and electromagnetic stimulation — best for tone and a subtle lift. Endolift® is a sub-dermal laser focused on tightening connective tissue and stimulating collagen in the lower face, jawline and under-chin. They can be complementary: EMFACE® for tone and lift, Endolift® for deeper tightening and definition.

Yes. Endolift® is often planned alongside other treatments — for example skin boosters such as Profhilo® or polynucleotides, energy devices like EMFACE® or InMode Contoura, or injectable contouring — as part of a wider plan. Dr Nina will advise on what is appropriate and safe to combine, and the right order.

Endolift® involves minimal downtime; most patients return to normal activities within about a day. Temporary swelling, bruising or redness may occur and typically settles quickly. You receive aftercare guidance tailored to your treatment.

Endolift® is performed under local anaesthetic so the area is numbed during treatment. Most patients tolerate it well; any tenderness afterwards is usually mild and short-lived. Your practitioner will explain exactly what to expect.

Some early changes can be seen in the first days, with results continuing to develop as collagen rebuilds in the deeper layers of the skin. Most patients see optimal results around six months after treatment. Individual results vary.

Results are long-lasting. Endolift® is not permanent, but by stimulating collagen and tightening the skin the effects can last for years with good skincare and maintenance. Maintenance treatments may be recommended over time depending on anatomy, lifestyle and skin quality.

Endolift® at Facial Sculpting starts from £3,900 for the face plan and from £4,900 for the face & neck plan; an Endolift® consultation is £200. The exact price depends on the areas treated and your individual plan, which is confirmed at consultation.

Yes. A consultation is required to assess your skin, facial anatomy, medical history and goals, confirm whether Endolift® is suitable (or whether another option is safer or more effective), and confirm your exact plan and price.
