Endolift for the abdomen in London

Loosened skin on the stomach after children or weight loss, with or without a thin layer of fat over it, is on the maker's list of Endolift areas. The fibre is passed under the skin of the abdomen in a fan from small entry points, under local anaesthetic, in one session, and the one published series treated ten patients on the abdomen and the inner arms. Every treatment is given by Dr Marie Duggan, GMC 7488383, at Endolift Clinic, 8 Devonshire Place, London, W1G 6HP, with the price in writing at a free consultation.

What it does on the abdomen

Endolift tightens loosened skin by contracting the fibrous layer under it and prompting new collagen. The 1470 nm wavelength is absorbed by fat as well as water, so a thin layer over the muscle reduces in the same passes; laser-assisted lipolysis is the use the laser is FDA-cleared for in the US. It does not remove an apron of skin after a large weight loss, which a tummy tuck does, and it does not repair separated muscles; the doctor says so where surgery is the better route.

What the series measured

Ten patients treated on the lower abdomen and the arms, with fat and circumference measured smaller by tape. One series, no untreated comparison group, and a 2025 systematic review found a high risk of bias in the studies it kept. The full guide sets out every series.

The session and after

Local anaesthetic along the path of the fibre, the fibre passed under the skin from several small entry points across the abdomen and drawn back pass by pass, and in our practice you go home the same day. Swelling, tenderness and some bruising for several days, sometimes longer on the body than the face in our experience, loose clothing and no hard exercise for the first days. The result develops over three to six months and is photographed at the review in our practice. The downtime page sets out the recovery.

Who it suits

In our practice, an adult close to the shape they want with loosened skin on the stomach that still has elasticity, who wants one session rather than surgery. A hernia in the area is checked first, and a 2026 review lists metal implants, active infection, pregnancy, bleeding disorders, skin disease and cancer as reasons not to treat. The inner arms page covers the area most often treated with it, and the full guide the rest. The price is in writing at a free consultation, with a price match on any comparable written quote.
