Endolift for Jawline & Under-Eye Tightening: The Consultant’s Approach at Skinhorizon Clinic London

The lower face and under-eye areas are among the first to show signs of ageing — yet also among the hardest to treat safely without surgery. Endolift® laser technology has changed that. At Skinhorizon Clinic, Maida Vale, our consultant-led Endolift protocols lift, tighten, and contour skin from within using the LASEmaR® 1500 (1470 nm) micro-fibre laser. This minimally invasive treatment targets deep tissue structures without incisions, anaesthesia, or downtime — delivering visible definition and lasting rejuvenation.

What Is Endolift® and How Does It Work?

Endolift® is a **minimally invasive laser-assisted skin tightening procedure** that uses a thin optical micro-fibre (about the width of a hair) inserted just beneath the skin. The LASEmaR® 1500 laser emits energy at a wavelength of 1470 nm — selectively absorbed by water and fat — to gently remodel collagen and reduce excess tissue laxity.

The result is a lifted, sculpted contour along the jawline, cheeks, and under-eyes, achieved safely without surgical incisions. Unlike surface lasers, Endolift works from within the dermis, offering precision and immediate contraction of collagen fibres while stimulating long-term regeneration.

Endolift® for Jawline Definition

The jawline often loses definition due to collagen breakdown, soft-tissue descent, and fat redistribution. Endolift® restores firmness by stimulating neocollagenesis and reducing submental fullness (double chin). The energy is delivered through micro-fibres that target the **fibroseptal network** — the internal scaffolding responsible for jawline support.

Results are natural and progressive: sharper angles, smoother transitions between face and neck, and improved elasticity without the “over-pulled” look of surgery.

Endolift® for Under-Eye Tightening

The under-eye area poses unique challenges because of thin skin and vascular sensitivity. At Skinhorizon Clinic, our consultant approach uses ultra-fine micro-fibres to stimulate collagen beneath the orbital area, tightening and smoothing crepiness, reducing mild fat bulges, and improving shadowing — all without fillers or blepharoplasty.

Combined with Polynucleotide injections or Mesoeye C71, it delivers both structural and cellular rejuvenation for a refreshed, lifted eye contour.

What Areas Can Endolift® Treat?

• Jawline and jowls
• Under-eye and lower eyelid area
• Nasolabial folds
• Mid-face and cheeks
• Double chin (submental fat)
• Neck laxity

Endolift® vs Traditional Facelift

Who Is a Suitable Candidate?

Endolift® is ideal for patients noticing early to moderate sagging around the jawline, cheeks, or under-eyes who want visible lift without surgery. It is also suitable for those who have previously had dermal fillers or anti-wrinkle injections and wish to further tighten and contour the skin.

What Happens During the Procedure?

1. Consultation: Your journey begins with a detailed consultation with Dr Mohammad Ghazavi (MD, FRCP, MRCP Dermatology) to evaluate suitability and treatment goals.
2. Marking and anaesthetic: Target zones are mapped and a light local anaesthetic applied.
3. Laser delivery: The Endolift® fibre is inserted under the skin, releasing 1470 nm laser energy in precise micro-pulses.
4. Skin tightening: The laser energy contracts collagen fibres and melts localised fat.
5. Aftercare: Mild swelling or redness may occur for 24–48 hours; makeup can usually be applied the next day.

Results and Longevity

Patients typically notice tightening immediately after the procedure, with progressive improvement over 3–6 months as new collagen forms. Results can last up to 2 years, depending on individual skin health and ageing patterns. Maintenance sessions may be recommended annually for continued rejuvenation.

Combining Endolift® with Other Treatments

For comprehensive rejuvenation, we often combine Endolift® with complementary procedures such as:

• Profhilo bio-remodelling for hydration and elasticity
• Polynucleotide injections for cellular regeneration
• Exosome therapy to enhance healing and collagen stimulation
• LED phototherapy for recovery and inflammation reduction

Safety and Aftercare

Endolift® is performed under sterile, consultant-led conditions. Side effects are minimal and temporary, usually limited to mild swelling or redness for up to 72 hours. Most patients return to daily activity the next day. Dr Ghazavi’s protocol focuses on safety and predictability, using energy parameters adapted to each anatomical zone.
