Endolift for the neck in London

The neck is one of the areas with a published Endolift series. Ten patients were treated once on the horizontal neck lines and measured three months later, with the depth of the lines nearly a third less and their area down by about 38%. The fibre is passed under the skin of the neck in a fan from small entry points, under local anaesthetic, in one session. A 2026 review names the front of the neck over the thyroid as a zone where the fibre is not inserted. 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 the studies measured

• Neck lines, 10 patients, three months: the depth of the lines down by about 30%, their area by about 38%, after one session; mild swelling and redness gone in one to two days.
• Neck with nanofat, 20 patients, six months: Endolift combined with the patient's own fat, compared with fat alone, in a small series.
• Under the chin: no Endolift study; a study of another 1470 nm laser found the laser alone insufficient to fully reshape the most advanced neck, and the most advanced necks still needed surgery.

What it does and does not do

Endolift tightens the loose skin of the neck and softens the horizontal lines by contracting the fibrous layer and prompting new collagen, and where there is a small fat pocket under the jaw the same heat can reduce it. It does not lift a heavy, loose neck the way a neck lift does, and the doctor says so where surgery is the better route. Where lift without any entry point is the aim, Ultherapy, whose US clearance names the neck and under the chin, is the alternative the doctor discusses.

The session and after

Endolift is given under local anaesthetic; in most of the published series the anaesthetic was injected along the path of the fibre. The fibre is passed under the skin from small entry points and moved in a fan and drawn back, pass by pass, and in our practice you go home the same day. Swelling, tenderness and some bruising, with redness at the entry points, settling over days; most people are back to normal in a day or two. 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 with early to moderate laxity of the neck or horizontal neck lines who wants one session rather than a course. A 2026 review lists metal implants, active infection, pregnancy, bleeding disorders, skin disease and cancer as reasons not to treat. The jawline page covers the area above, and the full guide the rest.
