PROGRAM
Lift, Tighten, and Redefine the Face and Neck—Without Surgery
As we age, collagen beneath the skin gradually decreases while fat may begin to accumulate around the lower cheeks, under the chin, and along the neck. As a result, a once-defined jawline may appear softer, with jowls, a double chin, and skin laxity becoming more noticeable.
EndoliftX® is an Italian laser technology designed to address these concerns through three complementary actions:
It lifts lax skin, improves firmness, and reduces localized fat to create better balance between the face and neck. Each treatment is personalized by the physician according to the patient’s facial structure, fat distribution, and degree of skin laxity.
WHAT IS IT ?
EndoliftX® is a minimally invasive laser procedure that uses a Micro Optical Fiber—a hair-thin optical fiber inserted beneath the skin—to deliver 1470 nm diode laser energy directly to the targeted area. Its small size allows the physician to plan treatment pathways and positions precisely, including in small or delicate areas that can be difficult to reach with conventional surgery.
Once delivered beneath the skin, the laser energy helps address localized fat in suitable areas, promotes tissue contraction, and stimulates new collagen production.
The treatment can therefore address skin laxity, localized fat, and a poorly defined facial contour without surgery or large incisions.
The laser energy targets subcutaneous fat in areas deemed suitable by the physician, such as the lower cheeks, jowls, and under the chin. This helps reduce localized fullness and create a lighter, more balanced facial appearance.
The 1470 nm laser energy helps the tissue beneath the skin contract. This can improve firmness, reduce laxity, and create a more defined jawline.
The laser energy stimulates the production and reorganization of collagen. Over the following months, the skin may gradually appear firmer, smoother, and more elastic.
The fine Micro Optical Fiber allows the physician to plan each treatment pathway in detail—determining where fat should be reduced, which areas require greater tightening, and which tissues should be preserved to maintain natural facial balance.
PROGRAM
No surgery, no general anesthesia, and no large surgical incisions.
Addresses skin laxity, firmness, and localized fat within a single treatment program.
Results continue to become more apparent from 1–6 months after treatment and may be maintained over time depending on each patient’s skin condition and aftercare.
Quick recovery with an appropriate post-treatment care program based on international standards.
EndoliftX® can be tailored to treat several areas of the face and neck. Before treatment, the physician will assess the patient’s facial structure, fat-layer thickness, skin quality, and degree of laxity to create a personalized treatment plan.
Helps address a poorly defined facial contour, lower-cheek fullness, jowls, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and early skin laxity, creating a more balanced and naturally defined facial appearance.
Helps address under-chin fat and a double chin in suitable candidates while improving skin firmness, creating greater definition along the chin and jawline.
Helps tighten the skin around the neck and reduce laxity and the appearance of certain neck folds, creating a smoother neck contour that complements the jawline.
For suitable candidates, the physician may design a treatment plan for the eye area to address laxity and improve skin firmness. Because this is a delicate area, treatment requires a careful medical assessment and specialized technique.
In addition to the face and neck, EndoliftX® may be used to address localized fat or skin laxity in body areas such as the upper arms, abdomen, and thighs. Suitability depends on the patient’s concerns and the physician’s assessment.
Some patients may begin to notice improved firmness or changes in their facial contour due to the tissue’s response and contraction following laser-energy delivery.
Mild swelling may occur and will gradually subside as the skin continues to adjust after treatment.
Mild swelling, bruising, tightness, or tenderness may occur, depending on the treatment area, technique, and individual response.
As swelling gradually subsides, the face and treated areas begin to settle. The skin becomes firmer and the jawline becomes progressively more defined.
Results may become more apparent during this period. The face may appear more dimensional, while areas of localized fullness may gradually appear reduced as collagen remodeling continues.
The degree and timing of change vary between individuals.
By this stage, results may become more apparent. The skin may appear firmer and smoother, with naturally improved facial definition.
Results always vary by skin condition and individual response. The physician will follow up and assess whether additional care is appropriate.
Results and the pace of change vary with facial structure, fat volume, skin quality, age, and individual aftercare.
EndoliftX® is not simply about delivering energy to tighten the skin. It involves designing and refining the face from beneath the skin.
The key is correctly identifying:
A medical assessment is therefore essential before treatment. The physician will determine the appropriate entry points, fiber pathways, and energy levels according to each patient’s facial anatomy. Removing too much fat or lifting the tissues in an unsuitable direction may create an unbalanced or unnatural appearance. Precision and an understanding of facial anatomy are therefore central to the treatment.
A: Yes. The physician will assess the skin layers, identify fibrous tissue, and evaluate the presence of foreign materials or evidence of previous procedures. This information is used to design a treatment plan that is appropriate for each individual's skin condition and facial structure.
A: If you have recently had another procedure, such as fillers, biostimulators, or thread lifting, it is recommended to wait at least 30 days after that procedure before undergoing EndoliftX®. A consultation is required beforehand so the physician can consider the previous procedure, treatment area, and tissue condition.
A: Each technology differs in how it delivers energy and which tissue layers it targets. Some technologies deliver energy from the skin surface, while EndoliftX® uses a Micro Optical Fiber to deliver laser energy directly beneath the skin. Each approach is suited to different concerns and tissue structures. The physician will assess each individual and select the most appropriate method.
A: Before treatment, local anesthesia is administered to reduce discomfort. During the procedure, patients may experience sensations of pressure, warmth, or tightness beneath the skin. The level of sensation varies depending on the treatment area and each individual's response.
A: Once the local anesthesia wears off, common sensations include tightness, tenderness, or a deeper aching sensation similar to muscle soreness or bruising after exercise. Mild swelling or bruising may also occur. The physician will provide appropriate aftercare instructions and prescribe medication when clinically indicated.
A: Results continue to develop after treatment, with more noticeable changes typically seen over the following 3–6 months as tissue contraction and collagen remodeling continue. The appropriate number of sessions depends on skin quality, the amount of localized fat, and the degree of skin laxity. The physician will assess each individual and design the appropriate treatment plan.
A: The results of EndoliftX® can last for several years. The duration varies depending on factors such as age, skin condition, changes in body weight, lifestyle habits, and ongoing self-care. Natural aging continues over time, so the skin and underlying tissues will continue to change gradually.
A: Most patients do not require prolonged downtime and can return to their normal daily activities according to the physician's recommendations. Swelling, tightness, tenderness, or bruising may occur during the initial recovery period. It is therefore advisable to schedule the treatment at a time that allows for these temporary post-treatment effects.
A: Yes, EndoliftX® can be used for selected types of acne scars, particularly scars that are tethered by fibrous tissue beneath the skin. The physician can use the fiber to help release these fibrous adhesions while delivering laser energy to the treatment area. Because acne scars vary in type and severity, the physician will assess the characteristics of the scars and determine the most appropriate treatment approach. Additional procedures may also be incorporated into the treatment plan when appropriate.
A little preparation before your appointment helps get your skin ready for treatment.
Tell your doctor about your vitamins, supplements, and current medications. Your doctor may recommend pausing certain products that affect platelets and blood clotting 7–14 days before treatment to help reduce bleeding and bruising.
Do not stop prescribed or regular medication without your doctor's advice.
Avoid direct, intense sunlight for 1–2 weeks before treatment to help reduce the chance of skin irritation.
Avoid facial scrubs, facial masks, facial lasers, and other facial procedures before your appointment.
