Endolift in London

Endolift is a minimally invasive laser treatment that firms loose skin on the lower face, jawline and neck from beneath the surface. A single-use optical fibre, finer than a human hair, is placed under the skin through one tiny entry point. There are no incisions and no stitches. Only local anaesthetic is needed, and most people have one session lasting thirty to ninety minutes depending on the area.

The energy travels along the fibre and is released directly into the layer where the laxity sits. Heat makes the existing collagen contract on the day. The fibroblasts begin producing fresh collagen and elastin over the months that follow. And where a small fat pocket is present, the 1470 nm wavelength breaks down those fat cells, which the body clears through the lymphatic system.

They are quite different. A surgical facelift cuts, repositions and removes tissue under general anaesthetic, with a recovery measured in weeks. Endolift lifts and firms the skin from underneath through one tiny entry point, under local anaesthetic, and most people are back to normal life within hours. It suits mild to moderate laxity. Where there is severe laxity or a large amount of loose skin, surgery is the better route, and Dr Mattia talks you through it at consultation.

Yes, where a localised pocket is part of the problem. Under the chin or along the jowls, the laser energy breaks down that small deposit while tightening the skin above it. It is designed for small, localised pockets, which is exactly where it shines.

The area is numbed with local anaesthetic before anything else happens, so most people feel mild pressure and warmth rather than pain. The anaesthetic injection itself is usually the most noticeable moment of the appointment. Afterwards there is mild tenderness for a day or two.

Most people return to normal activities within a few hours. Mild pinkness, warmth and slight swelling can be present straight afterwards and usually settle inside twenty four hours. We ask you to avoid strenuous exercise, saunas and steam rooms for three to five days. Make-up can generally go on from the following day.

You notice some tightening straight away, because the laser contracts the collagen already in your skin during the session. A clearer improvement usually shows at four to eight weeks as new collagen production begins. The result peaks at nine to twelve months, once the remodelling is complete.

Results typically last two to three years. Because the treatment builds your own collagen rather than adding a filler, the improvement develops and then holds for a long stretch. A maintenance session at twelve to eighteen months can build on the result further.

Most people achieve what they want in a single session. Where there is more pronounced laxity, or several areas are being treated, a second session is sometimes recommended. Dr Mattia sets out a clear plan for your face at consultation, built around the result you would love.

Yes. Areas are often combined in one appointment, the jawline and neck together for example, or the jawline and the area under the chin. The session simply runs longer, up to about ninety minutes for a full face and neck.

Endolift works beneath the skin rather than on its surface, so it suits most skin tones after a skin check, including deeper skin tones. Dr Mattia confirms your suitability at consultation.

Ultraformer HIFU delivers focused ultrasound from the surface to the deeper supporting layers, with no downtime and a result that builds over three months. Morpheus8 pairs radiofrequency with micro pins to 4mm and treats texture and scarring as well as laxity over a course of three. Endolift places its energy directly under the skin in a single session, so it reaches deeper and gives a stronger structural lift along the jawline and jowls, and it can reduce a small fat pocket at the same time.

Endolift is priced by treatment area, from £1,350 for the area under the chin. The neck is £1,750, the lower face, jawline and jowls £1,950, the full face £2,250, and the full face with the neck £2,750. Every treatment includes the consultation, the procedure and your aftercare advice. Dr Mattia confirms an itemised price once he has agreed the areas with you, and other areas such as smile lines are quoted at consultation.

Dr Mattia Parducci, an aesthetic doctor (GMC 7635663), plans and performs every Endolift at Regents Park Aesthetics himself. Endolift is a medical laser procedure, so he performs every one personally. He also leads the advanced laser work at our sister clinic in Oxford, Cannelle Skin Clinic.
