Suitability for Endolift® depends on several factors, including your skin condition and individual needs. Ideal candidates are those with mild to moderate skin laxity on the face and neck. Endolift® is often suitable for individuals seeking a non-surgical alternative for skin tightening and wrinkle reduction. Those with severe skin laxity may be less suitable.

Endolift® is a minimally invasive procedure in which a special micro-optical fiber, thinner than a human hair, is gently inserted beneath the skin. The fiber emits laser energy to stimulate collagen production and promote skin tightening. Local anesthesia is usually sufficient, and most patients find the treatment relatively painless.

The results of Endolift® are generally subtle and natural. The skin may appear firmer and more youthful, wrinkles can be reduced, and skin texture may improve. The primary effects, however, result from remodeling processes in the skin and are typically visible no earlier than about three months after treatment, after which they are long-lasting. Since natural skin aging continues, a repeat treatment may be needed after a few years, depending on the patient’s metabolism and skincare routine.

There is minimal to no downtime after treatment. Occasionally, slight swelling may occur for 6 to 48 hours, during which rest is recommended. Mild swelling and yellowing of the skin may persist for several days to a few weeks.
