How Long Do Endolift® Results Last?

Endolift® has gained significant popularity in the UK as a minimally invasive laser treatment for skin tightening, jawline contouring and submental fat reduction.

One of the most common questions patients ask at Dr Hass Clinic is: How long do Endolift® results actually last?

This guide provides a clear, medically grounded breakdown of the treatment’s longevity, expected timelines, and what you can do to maintain results for as long as possible.

Most patients can expect Endolift® results to last between 1 and 3 years.
However, what you experience within that timeframe depends on:

• your age
• skin quality
• collagen density
• lifestyle factors
• your ability to maintain results (e.g., skincare, sun protection)

Unlike dermal fillers, which eventually dissolve, Endolift® works by stimulating collagen remodelling and fat emulsification, meaning results develop gradually and fade slowly.

Endolift® does not deliver full results immediately. Instead, the improvements occur in stages:

Immediately after treatment

• Mild tightening
• Slight lifting due to immediate collagen contraction
• Early contouring, especially under the chin

6–12 weeks

This is the period when most patients notice significant improvement as collagen production increases.

3–6 months

Results continue to peak as collagen fibres reorganise and skin elasticity improves.

6–18 months

Results remain stable with proper skincare and lifestyle habits.

1–3 years

Gradual softening of results as natural ageing resumes.

A. Age

Younger patients (late 20s–40s) with more intact collagen are likely to maintain results for longer than mature patients.

B. Skin Quality

Factors such as sun exposure, smoking, dehydration, and genetic elasticity greatly influence longevity.

C. Treatment Area

Certain areas hold results longer than others:

• Jawline and submental fat: Often among the longest-lasting
• Midface tightening: May require maintenance sooner
• Lower face: Varies depending on laxity and ageing rate

D. Severity of Skin Laxity

Endolift® provides the best and longest-lasting results in mild to moderate laxity.
Patients with more significant sagging may experience shorter longevity and may be better suited to surgical options.

E. Practitioner Skill

Because Endolift® involves precise placement of microfibres beneath the skin, results and longevity can vary depending on:

• technique
• energy settings and delivery
• anatomical understanding

This is why selecting an experienced medical practitioner, like those at Dr Hass Clinic, is essential.

Most patients choose to repeat Endolift® every 1–2 years to maintain optimal skin tightness and contour.

For some individuals with strong collagen response, one treatment can last up to three years, while others prefer annual “maintenance” sessions for consistent firmness.

Yes — several habits significantly extend treatment longevity.

A. Consistent sun protection

UV exposure weakens collagen, making SPF absolutely essential.

B. High-quality skincare

Medical-grade skincare, retinoids, vitamin C, and ceramide-rich moisturisers help preserve elasticity.

C. Maintaining a healthy weight

Frequent weight fluctuations can stretch and loosen skin.

D. Avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol

Both accelerate collagen breakdown.

E. Combining Endolift® with other treatments

At Dr Hass Clinic, patients commonly combine Endolift® with:

• Dermal fillers to restore volume
• Skin boosters for hydration and elasticity
• Profhilo® or collagen stimulators for long-term firmness
• Chemical peels or laser resurfacing for texture improvement

These combinations support and extend the tightening effect of Endolift®.

No, and it’s important to understand why.

• A facelift surgically lifts and repositions tissues. Results typically last 8–12 years.
• Endolift®, being non-surgical, rejuvenates the skin but does not remove excess tissue.

Therefore, Endolift® is ideal for those who want meaningful tightening without surgery, but it is not a substitute when advanced laxity is present.

The fat reduction achieved through Endolift® (especially under the chin) can be long-lasting or even permanent — fat cells destroyed by laser energy do not typically regenerate.

However, skin tightening is not permanent, because ageing and collagen breakdown naturally continue over time.

Patients who enjoy the most durable results typically:

• are under 55
• have mild to moderate laxity
• have a stable weight
• follow a good skincare routine
• protect their skin from UV exposure
• avoid smoking
• maintain general health and hydration

These factors support collagen longevity and slow the natural ageing process.

Endolift® offers long-lasting tightening and contouring results — typically 1 to 3 years, depending on individual factors. Many patients at Dr Hass Clinic find that the gradual improvement, minimal downtime and natural-looking enhancements make Endolift® an excellent alternative to more invasive procedures.
