EndoliftX®

What is Endolift?

Originally developed in Italy and now used worldwide, Endolift is suitable for both the face and body. The procedure involves the use of ultra-thin, flexible optical fibres, thinner than a strand of hair, inserted under the skin. These fibres deliver controlled laser energy that causes immediate tightening of the skin while also triggering collagen production deep within the dermis. Over the following months, the body naturally remodulates the treated areas, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.

Benefits of Endolift

One of the key advantages of Endolift is that it can deliver the kind of lifting and tightening typically associated with surgical facelifts or liposuction, without any need for general anaesthesia, incisions, or extended recovery. The treatment is particularly effective in delicate or hard-to-treat areas such as the jawline, under the chin, neck, nasolabial folds, and lower eyelids. It can also be used on the body, including the arms, knees, abdomen, inner thighs and buttocks, offering a versatile and minimally invasive alternative to more invasive procedures.

What to Expect

Most clients are surprised by how quick and straightforward the experience is. The treatment itself usually takes between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of areas being addressed. Local anaesthetic is applied beforehand to ensure comfort throughout. Following treatment, patients may experience mild redness or swelling, but these effects typically resolve within a few days. There’s no need to cancel plans or take time off work, most people resume their normal activities within 24 to 48 hours.

Results begin to show almost immediately after the session, particularly the tightening effects, but the full outcome develops over time as new collagen forms and skin continues to improve. The most dramatic results tend to appear around 3 to 6 months post-treatment, with effects that can last 1 to 2 years or longer, depending on the individual and their lifestyle.

Is Endolift Treatment Safe?

In terms of safety, Endolift is FDA-approved and widely recognised for its excellent track record when performed by qualified professionals. The risk of complications is minimal, and side effects are usually limited to mild bruising or temporary sensitivity in the treated areas. It is crucial, however, to choose an experienced and certified clinic that uses genuine Endolift technology to ensure optimal results and avoid any adverse effects.

Endolift also pairs well with other aesthetic treatments such as radiofrequency microneedling, making it an excellent addition to a personalised skin rejuvenation plan. Whether you're seeking a subtle refresh or more defined contouring, this procedure can be tailored to your specific goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will the liposuction procedure take?

The lipo procedure is carried out in our clinic in Donnybrook under local anaesthetic and will take approximately half a day (a few hours) from check-in to walking out.
What preparation do I need to do?

No preparation is needed. We simply advise trying to get a good night’s sleep the night before. No fasting is required but we do recommend a light breakfast on the morning of your procedure.
Should I bring anything with me?

Nothing is required but some patients like to bring a spare change of clothes including fresh underwear and loose clothing to wear over your compression garments post treatment.
What is the aftercare?

You will be required to wear a compression garment for one month, which we will provide for you. You will also be prescribed an antibiotic for the initial five days post treatment. You can walk immediately after your procedure but avoid any strenuous activity or heavy lifting for the initial two weeks.
Can I drive after liposuction treatment?

No. On the day of your procedure, you will be unable to drive that day and will need to organise a lift home.
When will I return for a follow-up visit?

This will consist of three visits, the first of which will be the day after your procedure for a check-up. A second appointment is organized for two weeks post procedure to monitor healing and assess the swelling. A third and final appointment is then scheduled for three months after your Tickle Lipo procedure to review results and will include any adjustments which may be needed.
What does the pain management entail?

It is very simple, painkillers can be prescribed as needed but pain management would normally be approximately 3-5 days for most patients. The treatment area may feel bruised, swollen and tender for the first few days, but recovery can vary from patient to patient, depending on the individual and the extent of the procedure. Some patients describe the recovery as more of a discomfort and do not require any prescription pain medication post treatment.
When can I shower or bathe?

You can shower the day after your procedure but as it takes 5-7 days for your incision to close, you must avoid bathing/ swimming for the first week.
How long until I can notice results of my liposuction?

Liposuction results can be noticeable immediately after the procedure, but we would say that you will be ‘beach ready’ within a month. Best results can be observed 3-6 months post-procedure as the swelling continues to subside, but this is dependent on each patient and how they respond to the treatment.
Is there anything I can do to speed up the healing process?

Yes, we offer Lymphastim lymphatic drainage which can be performed approximately five days after your Tickle Lipo procedure, and this will help to reduce swelling and encourage healing.
How is Tickle Lipo different from other types of liposuction?

It is far less invasive. Tickle Lipo is performed under local anaesthetic while you are awake and requires no fasting and no overnight stay on the day of your procedure. There is a quicker recovery time which means less down-time and a more rapid return to every-day life and work.
Will I be left with excess skin after the procedure?

Not necessarily but this will be assessed with Dr. Sami in your initial consultation. There are various treatments which can be performed to avoid this, all of which will be discussed with you. Factors including age, genetics and overall skin health can contribute towards loose skin but maintaining a healthy lifestyle and stable weight after the procedure can minimize the likelihood of this happening. The compression garment is a key part of the aftercare which also minimizes loose skin.
Can I have liposuction after a C-section?

Yes, but we would advise waiting a minimum of six months to a year after a C-section before considering liposuction to allow the area to fully heal. Liposuction on the abdomen also will not affect any future pregnancies or C-sections.
