Endolift: the laser lift under the skin, now at Wimpole Street

If you have typed Endolift London into your phone lately, after catching your jawline at the wrong angle in a shop window, here is the news you were hoping for. Endolift has arrived at Regents Park Aesthetics on Wimpole Street. It is a laser lift that works from beneath the skin: a fibre finer than a hair, a single session under local anaesthetic, minimal downtime, and a tightening of the lower face, jawline and under-chin that keeps building for months afterwards.

A laser that works from the inside

Most lifting treatments send energy down through the surface of the skin and hope enough of it reaches the layers that matter. Endolift turns that idea on its head. A laser fibre, finer than a strand of hair, is passed just beneath the skin through a tiny entry point and glides along the plane where the fat and the supporting tissue sit. As it moves, the laser energy gently contracts that tissue, tightens the fibrous bands that hold the skin to its foundations, and tells the collagen-producing cells to get to work. Because the energy is delivered exactly where it is needed, the skin above is treated from the inside out rather than heated from the top down.

The result is a treatment that sits in an appealing middle ground. It works beneath the surface rather than through it, yet it involves no cuts, no stitches and no general anaesthetic. For a London patient who wants more than another round of something gentler, without stepping into surgery, that middle ground is precisely the point.

What the session is like

Endolift is a single-session treatment, which already makes it unusual in a category built on courses. You arrive at Wimpole Street, the area is cleansed and marked, and local anaesthetic is placed so the treatment itself is comfortable. Your practitioner then introduces the fibre through a point so small it needs no dressing, and works methodically along the jawline, under the chin or wherever your plan has mapped out. You are awake, chatting if you like, and aware of warmth and movement rather than pain. The whole appointment fits comfortably into an afternoon.

Downtime is minimal. Expect some swelling and tenderness along the treated line for a few days, the sort that a scarf and an early night take care of, and a tightness that patients tend to describe as reassuring rather than uncomfortable. Your practitioner talks you through aftercare before you leave, and the team is a phone call away if anything is on your mind. Most patients are back at their desk within a day or two, with heavy exercise and saunas paused for the first 24 to 48 hours.

When the lift appears and who it suits best

You will notice an early tightening in the first weeks as swelling settles, and then the real story begins. The collagen response builds over three to six months, so the jawline that looked a little sharper at your review keeps improving through the following season, which is a pleasant way to experience a treatment. Endolift suits early jowls and a softening jawline, fullness beneath the chin that diet does nothing for, and skin along the lower face that has started to drift rather than drop. It is designed for patients who want a visible change in definition without surgery, and whose skin still has enough spring to respond. If a double chin is your main concern, Endolift addresses both the small pocket of fat and the skin above it in the same session, which is why it has become one of the most asked-about treatments in the clinic within weeks of arriving.

How it compares with HIFU and Morpheus8

Regents Park Aesthetics already offers two highly regarded lower-face tighteners, so the comparison is a fair one. Ultraformer III HIFU delivers focused ultrasound from the surface to the deeper support layers with no needles, in a session priced at £595 for the lower face and jawline, and is typically repeated about once a year. Morpheus8 pairs fine needles with radiofrequency to remodel collagen and tighten the skin itself, at £800 for the face and neck, and is usually planned as a course. Endolift goes beneath the skin in a single visit under local anaesthetic, and is priced at consultation because the area and the extent of treatment are planned for each face. Our guide to HIFU versus Morpheus8 versus EmFace covers the surface-based options in detail; the short version is that Endolift works beneath the skin in one appointment, and your consultation shows whether it suits your lower face.

Regents Park Aesthetics was founded in 2012 by Kay Greveson, an Advanced Nurse Practitioner with more than 20 years of NHS nursing behind her, and is Save Face accredited at its Harley Street district home at 19 Wimpole Street. If you would like to know whether Endolift is the right answer for your jawline, book a consultation and your practitioner will assess the area, explain the plan and confirm the price for you. Taking the information home to think about is a perfectly good next step.
