The price comes first because it is the question asked most; the figure is given in writing at the free consultation, and the rest is answered here.

Price and sessions
How much does Endolift cost in London?
We set out the price of Endolift in writing at a free consultation, and we price match any comparable written quote. Consultations and follow-up reviews are free whatever you decide. The price depends on the area or areas.
How many sessions do I need, and is one enough?
One in the published series, which used a single session, and the maker gives no session number. In our practice we plan one, and a repeat is a choice some people make at the review rather than a schedule; the doctor says plainly whether it would add anything.
Is Endolift worth the money?
In the small series, one session under local anaesthetic brought a measurable change at three to six months. The folds from nose to mouth lost about a third of their area and the neck lines nearly a third of their depth. The evidence is small and uncontrolled, and the doctor tells you at the consultation what it means for your face before you decide.
Results
How long do the results last?
Some tightening shows straight away, the result develops over months and the studies measured it at three to six months. How long it lasts varies and is unmeasured past about six months, and we say so rather than quote a figure no study supports.
How long until I see results?
Some tightening at once from the tissue contracting, then the real result over months as new collagen forms, measured in the studies at three to six months.
Can it fix jowls, the under-eye area, or lift the face?
The jawline and jowls, the lower eyelid, the cheeks and the folds beside the mouth all have small published series with measurable improvement, at three to six months where a follow-up is stated. It tightens rather than lifts; for a true lift the doctor will tell you whether threads, Ultherapy or surgery is the better route.
Can it treat the stomach, arms and other body areas?
Yes. The inner arms and the abdomen have a small series, and the buttocks, knees, inner thighs and ankles are on the maker's list without a study, so the doctor advises at the consultation what to expect. A study of another 1470 nm laser in 22 patients with heavy upper-arm laxity found the skin tightening "remained incomplete", which is worth knowing. The arms and abdomen page explains.
Consultations and follow-ups are free
Risks, pain and downtime
What are the risks, the downsides and the complaints?
Swelling, tenderness and bruising for days, and some redness at the entry points. Studies of other 1470 nm lasers under the skin report burns in 3 of 261 patients (1.15%) treated around the lower eyelid and prolonged swelling in 11 of 45 patients treated on the arms. Temporary numbness from nerve irritation near the jaw has been reported and usually settles within two to four weeks. In one series with a 1470 nm laser, the commonest complaint was a burning sensation during treatment, reported by 59%, which is why the anaesthetic matters.
How painful is it, and is an anaesthetic used?
It is given under local anaesthetic, injected along the path of the fibre in most of the published series. Even so, a burning sensation during treatment was reported by 59% of patients and pain by 27% in one series with a 1470 nm laser, so in our practice the doctor plans comfort with you and adjusts as you go.
What is the downtime, and how do I look straight after?
Swollen, tender and a little bruised, with some redness at the entry points. In the Endolift series mild swelling and redness were gone in one to two days; most people are back to normal in a day or two, with the swelling and bruising settling over several days, sometimes longer.
Who is not suitable?
A 2026 review lists metal implants, active infection, pregnancy, bleeding disorders, skin disease and cancer as reasons not to treat. Endolift also does not suit laxity too advanced for a fibre to help, which the doctor says at the consultation.
Is Endolift safe and regulated?
The laser is FDA-cleared in the US for laser-assisted lipolysis, not for lifting, and the maker states CE certification. The clinic is CQC registered, and every treatment is given by a doctor. The risks above are real; the serious ones were uncommon in the published series, and they depend on the hands and the settings.
Comparisons and the clinic
What is better than Endolift?
It depends on the aim. Focused ultrasound and radiofrequency microneedling work from the surface, threads reposition tissue, and for heavy jowls or a loose neck surgery does what no fibre does. The doctor advises at the consultation which suits you.
What is the best age for Endolift?
No study sets one. The published series treated adults, in one eyelid series aged 35 to 60 and in one facial series at an average age of 47, and the doctor judges the skin rather than the age.
Is Endolift available on the NHS?
Not as a rule. The NHS says cosmetic surgery is not routinely provided on the NHS, and Endolift is a cosmetic treatment that people pay for privately.
Are there before and after photographs and reviews?
In our practice we show you your own photographs at the review, and our patients review the clinic on review.clinic, where it scores 4.9 out of 5 from 50 reviews in November 2026.
Where is the clinic, and how do I book?
8 Devonshire Place, London, W1G 6HP, five minutes on foot from Regent's Park station. The clinic page has directions. Call 0207 043 8129 or use the form below at any time.
