At Dr Joney De Souza Skin & Laser in Marylebone, patients often ask one question first: what is Endolift, and is it right for me? Endolift is a minimally invasive laser treatment that tightens skin and refines the jawline from within. It works without surgery, scalpels or general anaesthetic. This guide explains how Endolift works, what it treats, the recovery and the results you can expect.
Key takeaways
Endolift is a non-surgical laser treatment for skin tightening and gentle contouring. Your practitioner introduces a tiny optical fibre just beneath the skin. The fibre then delivers laser energy directly into the deeper layers. Because the energy works from within, it reaches tissue that creams and surface devices cannot.
The laser gently heats the underside of the skin and the strands that support it. In response, the body increases its collagen and elastin production. Over the following weeks, this firms and subtly lifts the area. At the same time, the heat can shrink small pockets of fat, which helps define the jawline. To explore the treatment in full, see our Endolift page.
Endolift is most popular for the lower face and neck, where mild sagging tends to appear first. Commonly treated areas include the following.
For this reason, many patients consider Endolift when they first notice jowls and facial laxity but feel a facelift is too much. In practice, it offers a middle ground between topical treatments and surgery.
First, your clinician applies a local anaesthetic, so the area stays comfortable throughout. Next, the fine fibre is guided under the skin through a tiny entry point. A session usually takes thirty to sixty minutes, depending on the area. Afterward, no stitches are needed.
Endolift involves little to no downtime, which is a large part of its appeal. Most patients notice some swelling, tenderness or mild bruising for a few days. Generally, normal activities resume within a day or two. Even so, your clinician gives you tailored aftercare to support healing.
Endolift is not the only route to firmer skin. Ultherapy uses ultrasound from the surface, while Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency. Endolift differs because it works from under the skin with a laser fibre. With this in mind, your clinician helps you choose based on your skin, your goals and your downtime.
Endolift suits adults with mild to moderate laxity who want a subtle, natural lift. It is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, over active skin infections, or with certain medical conditions. For this reason, a consultation always confirms whether it is right for you.

Downtime is minimal. Mild swelling or bruising may last a few days, and most patients return to normal life quickly.
A local anaesthetic is used, so the treatment is well tolerated, with only mild tenderness afterward.
