What is Endolift: The Future of Non-Surgical Facelifts
As we get older, our faces change. Many people develop rounder cheeks and subtle double chins over time, while their skin quality begins to deteriorate. Additionally, small lines and wrinkles will eventually develop. This is the natural aging process. Though we can’t stop time here at Beauty Cult, we can help you turn back the clock.
Having beautiful facial contours can give you confidence. Endolift® laser treatment restores definition to the face, tightens loose skin, and improves collagen production. Many Endolift patients look years younger with just one treatment, and this incredible procedure is available at Beauty Cult in Redondo Beach, CA,
Endolift laser treatment is an FDA-approved technology that uses micro-optical fibers to contour your face and reduce fatty tissue. It has been used in Europe for years and is only now beginning to grow its industry in the United States. Endolift treatments are effective on the neck, chin, and other parts to tighten and retract connective tissues. Endolift also melts fat away to sculpt your face and achieve your desired aesthetic.
Endolift has been called a "face lift without the incision," because it can achieve a face lift-like effect to slow down the effects of aging. Patients choose Endolift over face lift surgery because of Endolift's short recovery time, reduced risk of scarring, and affordable prices. Endolift is the procedure of choice for people seeking scalpel-free cosmetic laser treatment.
Why Get Endolift in Redondo Beach?
Simply put, Endolift is an elegant solution for patients seeking a minimally-invasive, effective cosmetic treatment to sculpt and contour the face. It is performed with cutting edge tools like single-use micro-optical fibers that can be inserted under the skin with minimal discomfort.
Effective Cosmetic Treatment
Endolift treatment promotes skin tightening by stimulating the production of new collagen. It does this while melting fat and gently shaping the contours of the face. The Endolift laser is designed to selectively impact the water and fat in the face.
Flexible Solution
Use of Endolift has been shown to:
Tone facial tissue
Synthesize production of collagen
Improve the texture and appearance of the skin
Sculpt layers of the skin, going deep into the face
Reduce fat pockets by degenerating the cells and resulting in the absorption of fat cells
Low-Cost Alternative to Face Lift
For years, face lifts have been the go-to procedure for patients seeking to tighten their skin and remove excess fat. Today, Endolift offers a low-cost alternative for patients making mild to moderate changes to the definition and appearance of their face. This procedure can also be used on other parts of the body - like the thighs and stomach - to achieve similar results.
Endolift Benefits
The benefits of Endolift are numerous. Patients choose this service for its convenience, quick recovery time, affordability, and immediate results. Here's what you can expect when you get Endolift for the first time:
Long-lasting results: Endolift results are long-lasting. Some patients report that results can last for as long as three years, although some say their Endolift results last even longer.
Minimally invasive: There are no surgical incisions made during an Endolift procedure. Patients feel only minor discomfort, and need only local anesthesia.
Single-visit procedure: Endolift can be completed in a single visit with your practitioner. You'll see some skin retraction immediately upon Endolift completion. If you'd like a follow-up visit, your practitioner can re-treat the same area in as little as six months.
Effective: Endolift is good for breaking up fat accumulation in the lower portions of the face, while tightening mild sagging in the skin.
Minimal recovery time: Skip the down time! Endolift requires little to no recovery time, unlike face lift procedures.
Where Is Endolift Used?
Face
Endolift is performed with a laser that can be used on the face as well as the body. Your practitioner will help you determine where Endolift should be used to achieve your desired results. Examples of places on the face where Endolift can be used include:
Double chin and neck
Jawline and jowls
Cheeks
Loose skin under the eyes
Stomach
In addition to the areas around the face, Endolift can tighten loose skin on the stomach. People seek this procedure after childbirth, or after losing weight.
Arms and Legs
Loose, sagging skin on the arms and legs can be discouraging. Endolift can tighten skin in these areas to achieve a toned, shapely silhouette.
What Are the Risks?
Endolift is a safe procedure that has been used for many years in Europe. The tools used for this treatment have been approved by the FDA, and are believed to be safe when you're working with an experienced, fully trained physician.
Patients who undergo Endolift may experience some minor side effects such as redness, bruising, or swelling in the week following the procedure. There is also a risk of skin burns, muscle weakness, and nerve bruising, but these side effects are very rare. In some cases, asymmetry in the face can also occur, requiring some additional sculpting in previous treatment areas.
The best way to avoid undesirable side effects is to work with a highly trained, experienced, reputable practitioner. Your provider should go over all potential side effects with you before the procedure, and answer questions to help you decide whether this is the right procedure for you.
What Happens During an Endolift Treatment?
Endolift treatments are performed in-office. Sessions can be up to 120 minutes but often take less time. Some sessions are over in just 60 minutes. The Endolift session starts when your provider cleans your skin to prep the area. Then, a local anesthesia is injected into the incision site.
You may feel a sting when the injection occurs, but after that, you should feel little to no discomfort. If you're seeking treatment around your eyelids, you'll be given corneal shields to provide protection.
Next, a fine needle is used to create an entry point for the single-use fiber to be inserted under the skin. For treatments on the face, the entry point is usually in a discrete location, like the area around the ears. The laser is directed to the area of treatment through this laser.
During the procedure, targeted thermal energy stimulates the production of collagen and treats the predetermined areas to achieve your goals. The fiber is moved around to provide treatment throughout the region.
When the procedure is over, your physician will apply topical antibiotics to the points of entry. These openings heal on their own and are gone within about 48 hours after the procedure is over.
Endolift Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long will it take to see results?
Most patients see a difference as soon as the treatment is over, but collagen production happens over time. You'll continue to see new results over several months once the procedure is over. The best time to take an "after" picture to show results is about six months following the procedure.
2. Can Endolift be combined with other non-surgical cosmetic procedures?
Yes, Endolift can be safely combined with a number of non-surgical procedures to minimize wrinkles and fill out areas of the face. Every patient is different, and their goals are different too. You can get the best results by working with your physician to determine which procedures are best for you.
3. How many treatments will I need?
Most people only need one treatment to achieve their goals. If you do wish to repeat treatment, you'll be able to do so six months after your first treatment.
4. How long will Endolift results last?
Results from Endolift laser treatment can last up to 3 years or longer.
5. How long does the Endolift procedure take?
Endolift procedures can be as short as 60 minutes, or as long as 120 minutes, depending on the work to be done. You'll be able to return to your normal activities just a few hours after the treatment.
6. Who is a good candidate for Endolift?
You may be a good candidate for this procedure if you are more than 18 years old and have cosmetic/aesthetic goals such as the following:
You'd like to remove a double chin
You'd like to soften the effects of aging
You'd like to boost collagen production to improve the quality of your skin
You're seeking a more well-defined jawline
You have acne scarring
You're looking for an incision-free alternative to a face lift procedure
7. What parts of the body can be treated by Endolift?
Endolift can be used to treat many parts of the body. Endolift can treat loose skin under the eyes and around the cheeks, jowls, double chin and excess fat around the cheeks. Endolift can also help lift sagging parts of the neck and give more definition to the jaw line.
You can also seek Endolift treatment for treating sagging in the tummy area or in your arms. Use these treatments to tighten the parts of the inner thighs where fat can collect, and to treat acne scarring.
8. Are there any downsides to Endolift?
Endolift is a widely popular procedure in parts of the world like Europe. One of the downsides to seeking Endolift in the United States is there aren't very many practitioners who offer it. If you've found a reputable and trusted practitioner to provide Endolift treatment in your area, take advantage!
Endolift is also not permanent. Many people seek Endolift as an affordable alternative to face lift treatments. If you like the effects of Endolift, this may serve as a stepping stone to a more permanent solution like a face lift in the future.
9. What tools will the provider use for Endolift?
The laser used for Endolift treatments is called the LASEmaR® 1500 by Eufoton®. This laser has been fully studied and is approved for the precise work that achieves the Endolift results. The LASEmaR laser is used with Endolift fibers to deliver the laser to the areas of the skin below the surface. These microfibers are ergonomic and safe.
