Endolift® is a minimally invasive laser-based skin tightening and contouring treatment.

It uses ultra-thin optical fibres inserted beneath the skin’s surface to deliver laser energy, stimulating collagen production, reducing localized fat deposits, and firming sagging skin—all without large incisions or the downtime associated with surgical facelifts.

What Conditions Can Be Treated

At Ponsonby Doctors, Endolift is ideal for treating:

• Loose or sagging skin on the lower face, jawline, and neck
• Double chin and mild fat pockets under the chin
• Jowls or loss of definition around the jaw
• Mild wrinkles, fine lines, and aging skin texture
• Certain body areas with localized fat and mild laxity (depending on medical suitability)

How the Treatment Works

1. Consultation
   Our clinicians evaluate your skin, medical history, and assess whether Endolift is suitable for you.
2. Preparing the Treatment Area
   The skin is cleansed, and local anaesthetic is applied to ensure comfort.
3. Laser Fibre Insertion
   A very fine optical fibre is inserted just under the skin. Controlled laser energy is delivered to targeted depth to:
   • Heat deeper dermal and subdermal layers
   • Stimulate new collagen and elastin formation
   • Assist in melting small, localized fat deposits
4. Recovery & Skin Response
   After treatment you may experience mild swelling, redness or bruising. These side effects tend to resolve in a few days. Most patients return to regular activities shortly after.

Benefits of Choosing Endolift at Ponsonby Doctors

• Non-surgical — avoids large incisions, general anaesthetic, and visible scarring.
• Minimal downtime — you can usually resume daily life fast.
• Natural-looking results — gradual tightening, not an over-pull effect.
• Long-lasting improvement — benefits continue as collagen regenerates over weeks to months.
• Performed by qualified medical professionals ensuring safety and quality.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Ideal candidates are:

• Healthy adults showing mild to moderate skin laxity
• Those who prefer less invasive options than surgery
• Individuals wanting improvement in facial contour (jawline, chin, neck) without the risks and recovery time of a facelift
• Realistic expectations: while Endolift gives significant improvement, very severe sagging or excess skin might still require surgery or different approaches.

Risks & Considerations

Every medical or cosmetic procedure has potential risks. At Ponsonby Doctors, we ensure fully informed consent and safe practice. Risks may include:

• Temporary swelling, redness or bruising
• Mild discomfort during or after procedure
• Rarely, infection or delayed healing
• Outcomes vary with skin type, age, amount of laxity, lifestyle, and post-treatment care

What to Expect & After-Care

Treatment generally takes 30-60 minutes depending on area. You may experience some mild swelling/bruising.

For the following several days, use gentle skincare, avoid heavy exercise / sun exposure for a few days; results continue to develop over following months.

Cost & Booking

• Pricing depends on area(s) treated, extent of skin laxity, and whether any fat reduction is required.
• Ponsonby Doctors offers personalised treatment plans—book in for a consultation to get a tailored quote and timeline.
• Please ensure you are available for follow-ups, as optimal results often involve monitoring and possibly additional sessions.
