what is Endolift®?

Endolift® is an innovative new minimally invasive laser procedure that boosts skin restructuring and reduces cutaneous laxity. The treatment remodels the entire face: corrects mild sagging of the skin and fat accumulations on the lower third of the face (double chin, cheeks, mouth, jaw line) and neck as well as for correcting the skin laxity of the lower eyelid. As well as the face and neck the treatment can also be used for areas of the body including gluteus, knees, periumbilical area, inner thigh and ankles.

Quick, safe & with immediate lasting results

The treatment offers the benefits of a surgical facelift but with no scalpels and no scarring. Endolift® is the result of advanced technological and medical research focused on how to get the results of a surgical lifting procedure but avoiding the downsides associated with traditional surgery such as longer recovery time, a higher rate of surgical issues and invariably higher prices.

How does Endolift® work?

The Endolift® treatment is interstitial and works through specific single-use micro optical fibres, as thin as hair, which are easily inserted under the skin into the superficial hypodermis. Then laser-induced selective heat melts the fat, which spills from the microscopic entry holes in the treated area. This simultaneously causes immediate skin retraction and the reduction of skin laxity thanks to the activation of neo-collagenesis and of metabolic functions in the extra cellular matrix. The skin tightening created by Endolift® is strictly linked to the selectivity of the laser beam used, that is, to the specific interaction of the laser light which selectively hits two of the main targets of the human body: water and fat

The procedure is mininmally invasive, but to reduce any possible discomfort we suggest the patient has some local anesthesia for their comfort during the treatment session. Usually, minimal recovery time is required, but some swelling and bruising and post treatment discomfort may occur in some patients and this needs to be taken into consideration when planning the treatment.

Results are not only immediate and long-term, and continue to improve for several months following the procedure, as additional collagen builds in the deep layers of the skin.

As with all procedures in aesthetic medicine, the response and the duration of the effect depends on each patient and, if the dcotor deems it necessary, ENDOLIFT® can be repeated with no collateral effects or combined with other non-surgical energy based treatments for optimal results.

Dr Rakus recommends combining this treatment with Profhilo for best possible results.
