Is Endolift Safe? Understanding the Risks and Benefits

Endolift is a minimally invasive treatment using a laser, designed to tighten and to rejuvenate the skin without the need for traditional facelift surgery.

The popularity of Endolift has gained quickly due to the fantastic results achieved and low downtime involved compared to more traditional surgeries.

During the procedure, a very small optical fiber is inserted underneath the skin allowing the laser to precisely target the area and simulate the production of collagen, tightening the area.

The procedure usually lasts between 30-60 minutes depending on the exact area treated.

During an Endolift, local anesthetic will be used in the area to be treated to help minimize any discomfort from the insertion of the fiber.

When Endolift is performed by qualified and experienced practitioners like the ones at Eve Clinics, the treatment is safe.

The laser technology used in the Endolift is very precise and targeted reducing the risk of damaging any surrounding tissue. However, with any medical procedure, there are risks and side effects even if rare, it is essential to understand the potential risks.

While Endolift is generally considered safe, some patients may experience some temporary side effects:

Swelling and Bruising

Mild swelling and bruising can happen at the treatment area but will reduce after a few days.

Redness

Redness in the treatment area can occur due to the heat from the laser but is only short lived.

Discomfort

Some patients may feel discomfort during or even after the procedure. This is only temporary and can be eased with over the counter pain medication.

Infection

Although very rare, there is a risk of infection as will any treatment that involves breaking the skin. The chances of this can be minimised by following the after care instructions.

Endolift offers a wide range of benefits that make it an appealing choice for people looking for non-surgical treatments. Some of the benefits include:

Non-surgical

One of the biggest benefits to Endolift over traditional treatments is its non-surgical approach, minimizing the risk and downtime while still producing fantastic results.

Quick Recovery

Endolift enhances the skins natural shape, creating a more natural and youthful appearance without the ‘pulled’ look that can often happen with surgical alternatives. The laser promotes the bodies natural collagen production, tightening the skin to give a smoother reduced wrinkle look.

Minimal Discomfort
