What is Endolift?

Endolift is a minimally invasive laser treatment that tightens skin and reduces small fat deposits from the inside out. A fine optical fibre is placed under the skin to stimulate collagen and contract tissue, performed by Dr Dineli under local anaesthesia, with no cuts or stitches.

A hair-thin laser fibre is inserted under the skin and gently heats the tissue, stimulating new collagen and tightening from within while reducing localised fat, great for jowls, jawline, neck and under-chin. Many patients see tightening right away, building over 3-6 months.

Because there are no incisions, downtime is short, most return to daily life quickly, with redness or swelling settling within 1-2 weeks. Results can last 1-2 years, sometimes longer.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Endolift is a minimally invasive laser treatment where an ultra thin optical fibre, about the width of a hair, is placed just under the skin. The laser energy tightens the skin from within, stimulates collagen and reduces small pockets of fat, lifting areas like the jawline, jowls and under chin without surgery.

Results typically last 1 to 2 years, and many patients enjoy improvement beyond that because the treatment stimulates your own collagen. A healthy lifestyle and good skincare extend the result, and the treatment can be repeated when needed.

No. Endolift is performed under local anaesthesia, so you stay awake and comfortable. You may feel warmth, gentle pressure or slight tugging while the fibre works, and mild tenderness or swelling for a few days afterwards.

Most patients are back to normal routines within 1 to 3 days. Mild swelling or bruising can take 3 to 7 days to settle, so many people plan around a long weekend. There are no cuts, stitches or bandages.

There is often a visible tightening straight away, but the main result builds over 4 to 6 weeks as swelling settles and collagen production ramps up, with peak results at 3 to 6 months.

Endolift suits healthy adults with mild to moderate skin laxity, a softening jawline, jowls or fullness under the chin who want tightening without surgery. It is not suitable during pregnancy or with certain medical conditions, which Dr Dineli screens for at your consultation.

Yes, in most cases Endolift is a single session treatment. That is one of its biggest advantages over energy treatments that need a course of sessions. A follow up review confirms your result as collagen continues to build.
