For the right face, and with the evidence read honestly, yes. One session under local anaesthetic, through a small entry point with no incision, brought a measurable change at three to six months in the published series. The folds from nose to mouth lost about a third of their area, the neck lines nearly a third of their depth. Most people are back to normal in a day or two. Against that, the evidence is small, from one research group for the most part, with no comparison group and nothing measured beyond six months. Every treatment is given by Dr Marie Duggan, GMC 7488383, at Endolift Clinic, 8 Devonshire Place, London, W1G 6HP, after a free consultation, and the doctor tells you there what the series mean for your face before you decide.
What one session bought in the series
- Folds from nose to mouth and marionette lines, 10 women: volume down 26.78% and area down 33.45% at three months after one session (2023).
- Neck lines, 10 patients: depth down 30.16% and area down 38.45% at three months (2024).
- Upper eyelid laxity, 9 patients: a laxity score from 3.5 to 1.0 at six months (2023); the lower eyelid, 9 patients, photographic improvement in 90% at six months.
- Jawline fat, 9 patients: about 90% rated good or very good; the follow-up length is not stated.
Every figure is from a single session, which is what the studies used; the maker gives no session number. The how long it lasts page follows the timeline, and the sessions page explains why one.
What you are paying for
A 1470 nanometre diode laser absorbed by water and fat, delivered through a single-use microfibre passed under the skin; heat contracts the fibrous network, new collagen forms over months, and a small fat pocket can reduce. Local anaesthetic along the fibre path, then some tightening at once and the real result over months, measured at three to six. Most people are back to normal in a day or two; mild swelling and redness were gone in one to two days in the Endolift series, and swelling and bruising settle over several days, sometimes longer. The price depends on the area or areas, is set out in writing at a free consultation, and we price match any comparable written quote; consultations and follow-up reviews are free whatever you decide.
What you are not paying for
A lift. Endolift tightens rather than lifts: for heavy jowls or a loose neck it is not enough, and the doctor says so at the consultation. Long-term proof: fourteen reports, 115 patients, none beyond six months, and a 2025 systematic review that kept seven of 111 articles and called for randomised studies. A promise about duration: the result varies and is unmeasured past about six months, and a repeat is a choice some people make at the review. The risks page gives the complication figures from other 1470 nanometre devices, since Endolift's own series report few.
Who gets the most from it
In our practice, early to moderate laxity of the lower face, the jawline or the neck, in someone who wants one treatment and a short recovery, and who accepts that the measurements come from small series. Not suitable with metal implants, an active infection, pregnancy, a bleeding disorder, skin disease in the area or a cancer, as the 2026 review lists them. The laser is FDA-cleared in the US for laser-assisted lipolysis, not for lifting.
