Endolift® for Jawline Definition: What to Expect

A well-defined jawline is a key feature of a youthful, balanced facial profile.

Ageing, genetics, and weight fluctuations can lead to loss of definition, sagging skin, and under-chin fullness. For patients seeking non-surgical contouring, Endolift® has emerged as a highly effective solution.

Endolift® is used to tighten skin, remodel fat, and enhance lower-face contours. Understanding what to expect before, during, and after the procedure can help patients feel confident and informed.

Endolift® is a minimally invasive laser treatment that uses an ultra-thin microfibre inserted beneath the skin. The laser energy works on multiple levels to improve jawline definition:

• Collagen contraction creates immediate tightening
• New collagen formation gradually firms and strengthens tissue
• Selective fat emulsification targets submental fullness and jowls
• Contour refinement enhances lower-face angles for a sharper, more youthful appearance

Unlike a surgical facelift, Endolift® requires only local anaesthetic, involves no large incisions, and typically allows patients to return to normal activities quickly.

Endolift® is particularly suited for patients with mild to moderate jawline laxity. Common features addressed include:

• Early jowling or softening along the jawline
• Under-chin fullness or “double chin”
• Subtle sagging in the lower face
• Desire for natural-looking results without surgery

Patients should have realistic expectations: Endolift® provides refinement and lifting, rather than dramatic structural change.

At Dr Hass Clinic and other certified clinics, the Endolift® procedure for jawline definition typically follows these steps:

1. Consultation and Assessment: The practitioner evaluates facial anatomy, skin quality, and areas of fat accumulation to design a personalised plan.
2. Local Anaesthetic: The treatment area is numbed for patient comfort. Most patients only feel the injections, not the procedure itself.
3. Laser Fibre Insertion: An ultra-thin fibre is inserted subdermally along the jawline and under the chin.
4. Laser Energy Delivery: Controlled energy tightens tissue, stimulates collagen, and emulsifies small fat deposits.
5. Completion and Recovery: The fibre is removed, and the area is gently cleansed. Treatment usually lasts around 90 minutes.

Patients often report minimal discomfort, with the main sensation being warmth and slight tugging beneath the skin.

Recovery is usually swift, with most patients returning to normal activities within 2–3 days. Temporary side effects may include mild swelling, minor bruising, and slight tenderness, all of which typically settle within a week.

To support healing and optimise jawline definition, we at Dr Hass Clinic provide detailed aftercare guidance. This may include wearing a supportive face strap for a short period to help reduce swelling and encourage tissue retraction, as well as lymphatic massage, which can aid fluid drainage and speed up recovery when performed at the appropriate stage.

Patients are also advised to avoid strenuous activity for 24–48 hours, keep the area clean and well hydrated, and attend any recommended follow-up appointments to ensure results continue to develop as expected.

Results from Endolift® for jawline definition are both immediate and progressive:

• Immediate: Skin contraction and tightening are visible post-procedure.
• Progressive: Collagen stimulation continues over 6–12 weeks, refining the jawline and lower-face contours.
• Longevity: Results typically last 1–3 years, with maintenance sessions recommended for prolonged effects.

Endolift® is particularly effective for refining and sculpting, enhancing natural angles without the risks or downtime of surgery.

The success of Endolift® depends heavily on practitioner skill. Incorrect fibre placement or energy delivery can compromise results or cause discomfort. Choosing a reputable clinic ensures:

• Certified Endolift® devices are used
• Treatment is tailored to facial anatomy
• Safety and comfort are prioritised

At Dr Hass Clinic, we source Endolift® devices through official channels and have extensive experience creating bespoke treatment plans for jawline definition.
