Endolift® Laser – Non-Surgical Skin Tightening in London
Endolift® (commonly known as Endolift) is a minimally invasive laser procedure for skin tightening, lifting, and fat reduction. Using a fine laser fibre under the skin, it stimulates collagen, melts small fat deposits, and restores youthful definition without surgery. At Skinhorizon Clinic in London, our consultant dermatologist delivers Endolift for skin laxity, contour enhancement, and body sculpting.
Introduction
Endolift is an innovative laser-assisted skin tightening technology developed by Eufoton® in Italy. Unlike traditional lasers applied on the skin surface, Endolift delivers energy via microscopic optical fibres placed just under the skin. These fibres selectively target water and fat, triggering collagen remodelling and fat lipolysis without incisions or stitches.
Patients choose Endolift as a bridge between non-invasive treatments and surgery. It’s ideal for those noticing early sagging, under-eye hollows, jowls, double chin, or loss of facial contour, but not ready for invasive surgery. At Skinhorizon, we combine Endolift with other technologies such as CO₂ laser or Genesis Sculpt to enhance outcomes.

How the technology works
Endolift uses a patented Eufoton® LASEmaR® 1500 laser platform operating at 1470 nm wavelength. This wavelength is selectively absorbed by both water and fat, making it effective for collagen stimulation and fat reduction. A micro-fibre (as thin as a hair) is inserted under the skin, delivering laser energy in a controlled pattern. The result: tissue contraction, fat emulsification, and collagen remodelling.
Because fibres are hair-thin, no cuts or stitches are required. The procedure leaves no scars, and patients typically return to work within days. It is often referred to as a “laser facelift without surgery.”
Treatment process step-by-step
- Consultation: medical assessment, facial analysis, photography.
- Preparation: local anaesthetic applied; no general anaesthesia required.
- Laser delivery: fibre gently inserted under skin; laser energy contracts tissue and melts fat.
- Shaping: treated areas sculpted for improved contour.
- Aftercare: compression or cooling applied; personalised recovery plan provided.
Conditions & Concerns Treated with Endolift
- Skin laxity – tightening loose skin on face, jawline, and body
- Facial contouring – lifting cheeks, defining jawline
- Abdominal firmness – improving belly and waist definition
- Double chin & under-chin fat – non-surgical fat reduction
- Eye bags & under-eye hollows – tightening lower eyelids
- Body contouring – thighs, knees, arms
- Early jowls – restoring youthful definition
Recovery & downtime
Recovery is usually rapid. Patients may experience mild swelling and redness for 3–7 days. Small entry points heal naturally within 48 hours. Most return to normal activities within a week, though bruising can occasionally last 10–14 days. Results continue improving as collagen rebuilds over 3–6 months.
Safety & side effects
Endolift is generally safe when performed by a qualified consultant. Possible side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, numbness, or mild asymmetry, all of which resolve with time. Infection or burns are rare but possible if performed by inexperienced operators. At Skinhorizon, all procedures are performed in a CQC-regulated environment.
Before & After Results
Endolift delivers both immediate and progressive results. Patients often notice a visible tightening and contour improvement immediately after the procedure due to tissue contraction. Over the following 3–6 months, results continue to develop as new collagen is produced and fat is naturally resorbed.
- Immediate: subtle lift and skin firmness, with mild swelling.
- 1–2 weeks: swelling subsides, contour becomes clearer.
- 1–3 months: collagen remodelling leads to tighter, smoother skin.
- 6 months: peak results with noticeable lifting, jawline refinement, reduced eye bags.
- Duration: results typically last 12–24 months, with optional maintenance.
Individual outcomes vary. During consultation, your dermatologist will give realistic expectations tailored to your skin and anatomy.
