Endolift® for Male vs Female Patients: What Really Changes?

Endolift® has become a popular choice for both male and female patients who want firmer, more defined facial contours without surgery.

Although the core technique is the same, biological sex can influence how the treatment is planned. Subtle anatomical differences affect fibre depth, energy delivery and the type of contouring that gives the most natural result.

At Dr Hass Clinic, we have extensive Endolift® experience, which allows us to adapt the procedure to each patient’s individual features. This ensures that Endolift® works effectively for both men and women, without creating a “one-size-fits-all” outcome.

Every face is unique, but male and female anatomy often differs in ways that matter for Endolift®.

Male patients typically have thicker skin with higher collagen density. They also often carry more volume along the jawline and under the chin, which may benefit from deeper fibre placement and targeted fat remodelling. The beard area must be navigated carefully to maintain comfort and preserve natural hair density.

Female patients usually have a more even distribution of facial fat, particularly in the mid-face. When early laxity appears, the technique is often more delicate, focusing on subtle lifting and refinement rather than pronounced structural definition.

These differences are not drastic, but Endolift® is a precision procedure. Small adjustments in technique can influence the final outcome.

Female patients often attend consultations seeking improvement for early jowling, softening jawline, under-chin fullness, or mild crepiness.

Because key areas of female skin can be thinner, practitioners tend to use a slightly gentler approach that prioritises controlled heating and tightening.

The goal is to create a smoother, lifted appearance that enhances natural contours. Many female patients also use Endolift® preventatively to maintain facial definition and delay the need for surgical interventions.

Male patients frequently present with heavier tissue in the lower face, thicker skin and more prominent submental fullness.

A practitioner experienced in male facial rejuvenation may target deeper layers to restore jawline definition and reduce lower-face heaviness.

Male patients generally prefer a firmer, more structured result, so the technique focuses on sharpening contours without feminising the face. Careful planning around the beard area ensures comfort and preserves natural hair growth.

Regardless of sex, Endolift® should not be painful.

Most patients describe:

• A warm sensation beneath the skin
• A gentle internal tugging
• Brief discomfort only during local anaesthetic injections

If a patient experiences burning or prolonged pain, this is usually a sign of counterfeit or uncertified devices, which lack controlled energy delivery. Genuine devices, such as the LASEmaR® 1500 we use at Dr Hass Clinic, provide a predictable and comfortable experience.

One patient shared:

I had an Endolift® with Dr Hass Clinic… apart from the anaesthetic injections, it was mostly pain-free.

The longevity and quality of Endolift® results are influenced by collagen response, lifestyle, practitioner skill and overall skin quality. Biological sex plays a smaller role than most people assume.

Male patients may notice more dramatic improvement along the jawline due to typically heavier tissue. Female patients often see lift and refinement across the lower and mid-face. Both groups usually experience results lasting one to three years, depending on individual factors.

Endolift® is effective for both male and female patients, but the approach must be adapted to match differences in facial structure and aesthetic goals.

When performed by an experienced practitioner using certified equipment, Endolift® delivers natural, refined, and long-lasting results regardless of sex.

At Dr Hass Clinic, we offer bespoke Endolift® treatment planning and use genuine devices sourced through official channels, ensuring safe, comfortable and predictable outcomes for all patients.
