Advanced 1470nm & 980nm Laser Skin Tightening and Body Contouring
At Skin & Scar Care Clinic, Endolift / Endolaser is one of our signature minimally invasive treatments for skin tightening, facial contouring, fat reduction and body sculpting.
Using advanced 1470nm and 980nm diode laser technology, Endolift works beneath the skin through a fine optical fibre to target skin laxity, stimulate collagen remodelling, and reduce small pockets of resistant fat. The procedure is designed to provide a natural lifting and tightening effect without the need for surgical scars, general anaesthetic, or prolonged downtime.
The 1470nm wavelength is widely used in Endolift-style procedures and is delivered through a fine fibre placed in the superficial subcutaneous layer, helping to liquefy superficial fat and encourage retraction of the overlying skin.
Why Our 1470nm and 980nm Technology Matters
Many clinics offer standard skin tightening treatments, but our key advantage is the use of dual-wavelength Endolaser technology.
1470nm Wavelength
The 1470nm laser is particularly effective for targeting water-rich tissue and superficial fat. It is commonly used for:
- Skin tightening
- Tissue contraction
- Stimulation of collagen remodelling
- Reduction of small fat deposits
- Improving definition in the face, neck, and body
980nm Wavelength
The 980nm laser is often used to support deeper tissue heating and vascular interaction, making it useful in selected contouring and tightening protocols with reduced bleeding. In combination with 1470nm, it allows a more versatile approach for both facial and body areas.
Together, these wavelengths allow us to tailor treatment depending on whether your main concern is skin laxity, fat excess, poor definition, or a combination of all three.
What Is Endolift?
Endolift is a minimally invasive laser treatment performed using a very fine fibre inserted beneath the skin. The laser energy is delivered directly into the treatment area, where it helps:
- Tighten loose skin
- Stimulate collagen production
- Improve skin firmness
- Reduce small pockets of fat
- Improve contour and definition
- Remodel fibrous tissue in selected cases
Unlike surgical lifting or liposuction, Endolift does not usually require large incisions, stitches, or general anaesthetic. It is usually performed in clinic under local anaesthetic.
Ideal Treatment Areas
Endolift can be used across the face and body where there is mild to moderate laxity, early sagging, or localised fat excess.
Face and Neck
Eyelids and Periorbital Area
Endolift can be considered for selected patients with mild eyelid laxity or early skin looseness around the eyes. It may help improve firmness and skin quality without surgical eyelid surgery.
Jawline
Endolift is ideal for patients who are beginning to lose jawline definition due to early jowling, skin laxity, or small fat deposits.
Double Chin
For submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin, Endolift can help reduce small pockets of fat while tightening the skin under the chin.
Neck
Endolift is one of our most popular options for neck laxity. It can improve early sagging, crepey skin, and loss of definition beneath the chin and along the neck.
Eyebrow Lift
Endolift can help lift and refresh the brow area in patients with mild brow ptosis or early sagging above the eyes. By tightening skin and stimulating collagen in the treated area, it can soften a heavy or tired-looking brow and improve upper eye definition without surgical brow lift.
Chest and Body
Gynecomastia / Male Chest Contouring
For selected patients with mild to moderate fatty chest fullness or residual fibrofatty tissue, Endolift may help improve chest contour. It is not a replacement for surgical gland removal where significant glandular breast tissue is present.
Abdomen
Endolift can be used for mild to moderate lower abdominal skin laxity, especially where patients want improvement without surgical tummy tuck scars.
Inner Thighs
The inner thighs are a common area for skin laxity and soft fat. Endolift can help improve firmness, contour, and skin quality.
Love Handles
For small resistant fat pockets around the waistline, Endolift may help improve contour and definition.
Back
Endolift may be suitable for selected areas of back fat or mild skin laxity, particularly around bra-line folds or localised soft tissue fullness.
Knees
Loose skin and small fat pads around the knees can be difficult to treat with exercise alone. Endolift can help refine this area in suitable patients.
Ankles
For selected patients with localised fullness or soft tissue laxity around the ankles, Endolift may help improve contour. Suitability depends on anatomy, swelling history, and medical assessment.
Who Is Endolift Suitable For?
Endolift is most suitable for patients who have:
- Mild to moderate skin laxity
- Early jowling or jawline sagging
- Double chin or submental fullness
- Mild fat excess in specific areas
- Loose skin after weight loss
- Skin laxity after pregnancy
- Mild body contour irregularities
- Residual fibrofatty tissue after previous procedures
- Patients wanting improvement without surgical scars
- Patients who prefer local anaesthetic rather than general anaesthetic
It is particularly well suited to patients who are not ready for surgery but want a stronger result than radiofrequency, ultrasound, skin boosters, or standard non-invasive tightening treatments.
Who Is Not Suitable?
Endolift may not be suitable for everyone. During your consultation, your medical history, skin quality, anatomy, and expectations will be assessed carefully.
You may not be suitable if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have uncontrolled diabetes
- Have active infection in the treatment area
- Have severe skin laxity requiring surgery
- Have very large fat deposits requiring liposuction or surgical reduction
- Have unrealistic expectations
- Have significant bleeding disorders
- Are taking certain blood-thinning medication that cannot be safely paused
- Have active inflammatory skin disease in the treatment area
- Have poor wound healing or a history of abnormal scarring
- Have uncontrolled medical conditions
- Are expecting the same result as a surgical facelift, tummy tuck, or liposuction
Endolift is powerful, but it is not a substitute for major surgery in cases of severe laxity or large-volume fat excess.
Your Endolift Treatment Journey
1. Consultation
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation at Skin & Scar Care Clinic.
We assess:
- Your main concerns
- Skin laxity
- Fat distribution
- Facial or body anatomy
- Medical history
- Previous treatments or surgery
- Suitability for Endolift
- Realistic expected outcomes
2. Personalised Treatment Planning
Your treatment plan is tailored to your anatomy and goals. We decide:
- Which areas require treatment
- Whether 1470nm, 980nm, or combined wavelength treatment is most appropriate
- Whether skin tightening, fat reduction, or both are required
- Whether combination treatments may improve your outcome
3. Treatment Day
On the day of treatment:
- The area is cleaned and marked
- Local anaesthetic is applied or injected
- A fine laser fibre is inserted beneath the skin
- Laser energy is delivered in a controlled manner
- The fibre is passed through the targeted tissue
- The treatment area is cooled and dressed if required
4. Recovery
You may experience:
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Tenderness
- Mild redness

5. Results and Review
Results develop gradually as collagen remodelling takes place. Some tightening may be visible early, but the main improvement usually appears over:
- 6–12 weeks
- 3–6 months for collagen remodelling
- Continued refinement in some patients over several months
What Results Can You Expect?
Endolift results vary depending on age, skin quality, treatment area, degree of laxity, fat volume, lifestyle, and healing response.
You may notice:
- Improved jawline definition
- Reduced double chin
- Tighter neck skin
- Improved lower face contour
- Reduced mild fat pockets
- Firmer skin texture
- Improved body contour
- Reduced sagging in selected areas
- More refined shape

Frequently Asked Questions
Endolift is not traditional surgery. It is a minimally invasive laser treatment performed through tiny entry points using a fine optical fibre. It does not usually require stitches or large incisions.
Local anaesthetic is used to make the procedure comfortable. You may feel pressure, warmth, pulling, or mild discomfort during treatment, but most patients tolerate the procedure well.
Many patients only require one session per area. However, this depends on the degree of laxity, fat volume, skin quality, and treatment goals.
Some patients notice early tightening within a few weeks. The main results usually develop gradually over 3–6 months as collagen remodelling continues.
There is usually some downtime, but it is much less than surgery. Swelling, bruising, tenderness, and tightness are common for several days to a few weeks depending on the area.
Yes. Endolift is commonly used to improve double chin concerns by reducing small pockets of fat and tightening the skin under the chin.
Yes. Endolift can improve early jowling and jawline laxity by tightening the lower face and improving definition.
Endolift may help in selected cases of mild fatty gynecomastia or residual fibrofatty tissue. However, true glandular gynecomastia may require surgical assessment and gland removal.
Yes, it may help patients with mild to moderate skin laxity following weight loss. However, patients with severe loose skin may require surgical skin removal.
Endolift can reduce small pockets of fat, but it is not a replacement for traditional liposuction in patients with large fat deposits.

Following a recent consultation with Mr Salahuddin to discuss various aesthetic treatments, including ebrium laser, c02 laser and endolift. I had my first session of ebrium laser treatment today. I can honestly say Mr Salahuddin's approach is excellent! He was very informative and went into great detail about each treatment, whilst remaining courteous, honest and professional at all times. We worked out a plan 'together' and he helped with any concerns I had. I am excited to start my journey with him and I have more than 100% faith in his ability as a medical professional to give me the results I want to achieve. I would highly recommend Mr Salahuddin, his expertise is second to none.
