Endolift is increasingly recognised as a precision treatment for facial contouring and skin tightening. But many patients ask: does Endolift remove fat? The answer lies in the treatment’s unique dual effect; not only does it improve skin firmness, but it also targets localised fat deposits that soften definition in the face and jawline.
Unlike surface treatments that only affect the top layers, Endolift uses a fine microfibre to deliver laser energy beneath the skin. This energy heats the subcutaneous layer, causing immediate contraction of collagen fibres and gradual stimulation of new collagen over time. As a secondary benefit, the laser also disrupts small fat deposits in treated areas.
This process leads to visible contouring, particularly in the lower face, under the chin, and around the jawline, all areas where fat can accumulate and contribute to a heavier, less defined look.
So, does Endolift remove fat? Yes — but not in the same way as liposuction. It doesn’t remove large volumes, but instead helps to melt stubborn, small fat pockets that resist diet and exercise. The treatment is ideal for individuals who want to refine their jawline, reduce early jowls, or slim the lower face without surgery.
This subtle fat reduction, combined with collagen stimulation, results in a firmer, more sculpted appearance without sacrificing natural softness or facial balance. Over time, the body metabolises the broken-down fat, and the treated areas become more defined.
One of the advantages of Endolift is its ability to reshape without overcorrecting. Rather than altering volume dramatically, it smooths, tightens, and contours in a way that respects facial harmony. It’s especially effective for those noticing early signs of skin laxity with a touch of stubborn fullness in the lower face.
Endolift helps to reduce small, stubborn fat pockets by delivering laser energy beneath the skin, which disrupts fat cells while also tightening surrounding tissue. Though it doesn’t remove large volumes of fat like liposuction, it’s highly effective for contouring areas such as the jawline and under the chin. The fat is naturally broken down by the body over time, contributing to a more defined facial profile.
Endolift is a low-risk procedure, but mild side effects can include swelling, bruising, or temporary discomfort in the treated area. In some cases, results may vary depending on skin laxity and fat volume. While the recovery is quick, those with significant laxity or volume loss may require additional treatments for optimal results. It’s important to have realistic expectations and a personalised assessment.
Endolift is not the same as liposuction. While both target fat reduction, liposuction removes larger volumes of fat through surgical suction, often under general anaesthetic. Endolift, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses laser energy to contour smaller fat pockets while simultaneously tightening the skin. It offers a subtler, more natural result with minimal downtime and no scarring.
