Endolift® Laser-Assisted Liposuction in London
Endolift® combines laser-assisted lipolysis with collagen stimulation to reduce fat, sculpt contours, and tighten skin — all without traditional surgery. A minimally invasive alternative to liposuction, performed in a CQC-regulated, consultant-led setting.
Introduction
Endolift® is an innovative laser technology that can be used both as a skin-tightening treatment (see our Endolift® Laser Technology page) and as a laser-assisted liposuction technique for targeted fat reduction. By inserting ultra-fine fibres under the skin, the laser energy melts small fat deposits while simultaneously stimulating collagen to tighten and lift. This dual action makes it an attractive alternative to surgical liposuction for patients seeking contouring without downtime.
At Skinhorizon Clinic, we use the latest generation Endolift® platform, ensuring precision and safety under consultant dermatologist supervision. Treatment plans are fully customised to your anatomy, goals, and skin type, delivering natural results while maintaining comfort and safety.

How the technology works (technical detail)
Endolift® uses a 1470nm diode laser delivered via hair-thin fibres that are gently inserted under the skin. The laser energy selectively melts excess fat cells and stimulates neocollagenesis, tightening the overlying skin. The liquified fat is naturally metabolised by the body, avoiding the need for surgical suction.
Treatment process step-by-step
- Consultation: comprehensive assessment with our consultant dermatologist, including medical history and goals.
- Preparation: local anaesthesia is applied for comfort.
- Procedure: ultra-fine fibres are inserted into the target area; laser energy melts fat and stimulates collagen.
- Aftercare: treated areas may feel firm or warm; supportive aftercare instructions are provided.

Recovery & downtime
Recovery is minimal compared with surgical liposuction. Most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours. Mild swelling or bruising may occur and usually settles within a week. Results develop progressively as collagen remodelling continues for several months.
Safety & side effects
Endolift® is safe when performed by trained professionals. Temporary side effects may include redness, swelling, or mild bruising. Risks of burns or uneven results are minimised by consultant-led planning and careful fibre placement. Unlike traditional liposuction, no general anaesthesia or large incisions are required.
Before & After Results
Patients often notice subtle tightening and contouring immediately after treatment due to the heating effect. Visible fat reduction and improved skin firmness become more noticeable after 4–6 weeks, with peak results at 3–6 months as collagen remodelling continues. Results can last 2–3 years, with lifestyle and genetics influencing longevity.
