Endolift Laser

What Is Endolift Laser?

Endolift is a minimally invasive treatment in which micro-optical fibers are placed under the skin through a needle entry point and laser energy is delivered directly to the deep layers of the skin. The wavelength used is absorbed by both water and fat tissue. As a result, localized fat is reduced while the connective tissue contracts, tightening the skin and stimulating new collagen production in the long term.

Because it works from the inside without damaging the skin surface, recovery time is very short.

Which Areas Can Be Treated?

On the face it is most often preferred for sagging of the double chin (under the chin), jawline, cheeks and mouth corners and for mild laxity around the under-eye area. The neck can also be treated together with the face in suitable candidates. On the body, it can be used for small areas of laxity and fat such as the inner knees, inner arms and abdomen.

Who Is It Suitable For?

It is suitable for people with mild to moderate skin laxity, no significant sagging, who want firming without surgery. It usually gives good results between the ages of 30 and 55. In patients with advanced sagging, endolift alone is not enough; in that case surgical options such as a facelift are more appropriate. Endolift can also be used to support results after surgery.

It is not performed during pregnancy or in the presence of an active skin infection, uncontrolled chronic disease or a bleeding disorder.

How Is It Performed?

The treatment area is marked and local anesthesia is applied. A micro-fiber is inserted under the skin through entry points opened with a fine needle, and laser energy is delivered to the planned area in a controlled, fan-shaped pattern. The procedure takes 30–60 minutes depending on the area. No stitches are needed afterward; most people return to daily life the same day.

Risks

Swelling, mild redness, bruising and tenderness lasting a few days are expected after the procedure. Rarely, temporary numbness or a feeling of firmness or irregularity under the skin may occur; these usually resolve on their own within a few weeks. Delivering the laser energy at the right dose to the right layer is key to preventing unwanted outcomes such as burns; it is therefore important that the treatment is performed by an experienced physician.
