ENDOLIFT®

Endolift® is the latest addition to our Facial Sculpting’s range of non-surgical, highly effective cosmetic procedures for both the face and the body.

It consists of a minimally invasive interstitial laser lifting treatment applied at a wavelength of 1470 nm that has multiple benefits on the skin, such as:

• the remodelling of both deep and superficial layers of the skin;
• both immediate and medium to long-term tissue toning of the treated area, due to the synthesis of the new collagen. Meaning that the treated area continues to redefine and improve its texture, even months after treatment;
• the retraction of connective septum;
• the stimulation of collagen production and, when necessary, the reduction of excessive fat.

What is Endolift®

Endolift® is a minimally invasive laser-based treatment that uses Eufoton®, an innovative laser LASEmaR® 1500 certified and approved by the US FDA, to stimulate both deep and superficial layers of the skin. The wavelength of LASEmaR® 1500 is specifically designed to selectively hit two of the main targets of the human body: water and fat.

This process tightens and retracts the connective septum, activating the skin’s production of new collagen and the metabolic functions in the skin cells. But there is more to Endolift®, as it can also be utilised to reduce excessive fat when necessary, from both face and body.

The laser-induced selective heat has the power to melt stubborn fat, which spills from the microscopic entry holes in the treated area, and simultaneously causes immediate skin retraction. As a result, skin laxity is reduced, and skin will look tighten and immediately lifted.

Benefits of Endolift®

• No anesthesia needed
• Safe
• Visible and immediate results
• Long-term effect
• No incisions
• No or minimum downtime
• Can be used in combination with other aesthetic treatments

Target areas

Endolift® can be beneficial for areas of initial and middle skin laxity and subject to stubborn fat accumulations, both in the face and body. These areas include:

Face:

• Mid and lower face
• Mandibular border
• Under chin
• Neck

Body:

• Inner arm
• Abdomen and peri-umbilical area
• Inner thigh
• Knee
• Ankle

Dr Nina does not perform Endolift on the lower eyelid, this must be completed by a trained Endolift oculoplastic surgeon

It is important to keep in mind that body sculpting treatments such as Endolift® are not designed to remove large amounts of fat, or to be an alternative to exercise and a healthy diet.

For these reasons, they are best suitable for patients that are not heavily overweight but want to get rid of stubborn fat that cannot be reduced through exercise or diet alone.

How it works

The Endolift® treatment does not require any incisions or anesthetic and can take place in Dr Nina’s office as it has no downtime.

Eufoton® – specific FTF single-use micro-optical fibers a bit thinner than a hair are easily inserted under the skin directly in the superficial hypodermis, creating a micro-tunnel orientated along the anti-gravitational vectors.

While passing through the dermis, these FTF micro-optical fibers act like an intradermal light path and transmit laser energy, offering immediate visible results. The patient may perceive only a slight discomfort due to the laser energy creating micro-tunnels oriented along the anti-gravitational vectors, which grant an immediate and visible lifting effect.

Right after the treatment, the fibers (which are of different calibers depending on the area to treat) are removed and thrown away.

Results and aftercare

Results are both immediate and long-term. The area will continue to improve for several months following the Endolift® procedure, as additional collagen builds in the deep layers of the skin over time. The best moment when to appreciate the results achieved is normally after 6 months.

One single treatment is normally enough to see results. In case of incomplete results, it can be repeated for a second time within the first 12 months.

As with all procedures in aesthetic medicine, the response and the duration of the effect depends on the previous medical conditions of the specific patient: age, state of health, gender etc. can all influence the outcome and how successful a procedure can be. If necessary, Endolift® can be repeated with no collateral effects.

Side effects and contraindications

Endolift® does not cause any kind of pain associated with incisions and sutures. It involves minimal to no downtime and it does not have the pain or recovery time that is associated with surgical procedures. Patients can return to work and normal activity within a few hours.

There are no known contraindications to Endolift®. However, just to be safe, we do not recommend Endolift® if you are currently pregnant.

Dr Nina will discuss these topics in-depth during the initial consultation.
