Endolift – laser facelift without surgery

Endolift – innovative facelift without surgery

At Nordstrandklinikken , we Nordstrandklinikken Endolift, a groundbreaking, non-surgical treatment for tightening the skin on the face and neck. Endolift uses laser energy to provide a tightening effect with minimal downtime. The treatment is performed by our experienced surgeon, Dr. Alexander Vigen, and provides natural results without the need for major surgical procedures.

What is Endolift?

Endolift is a minimally invasive treatment that effectively tightens the skin and improves the contours of the face and neck. This technology combines laser energy with microfiber optics to stimulate collagen production and melt away unwanted fat, resulting in a firmer and more youthful appearance.

The treatment is ideal for those who want natural, long-lasting results without surgery. Endolift is specially designed to treat mild to moderate skin laxity and offers a safe and effective alternative to traditional facelifts.

Causes of sagging skin on the face

With age, the skin's elasticity decreases, resulting in sagging skin on the face and neck. This can be due to several factors, including:

• Age: The skin's natural aging process reduces the production of collagen and elastin.
• Sun exposure: UV rays break down the connective tissue in the skin.
• Genetics: Some people are more prone to skin laxity due to hereditary factors.

In addition to this, the muscles and bone structure of the face also lose their support, which can exacerbate skin sagging.

How is the Endolift treatment performed?

Endolift uses a 1064 nm Nd

which delivers laser energy via microfiber optics under the skin. This technology provides immediate skin tightening while reducing excess fat in the treated area.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and usually takes between 1-2 hours. The treatment stimulates collagen production in the skin, providing long-lasting results that continue to improve over several months.

• Laser effect: The laser energy heats and stimulates the tissue beneath the skin, producing an immediate tightening effect. In addition, small amounts of fat can be gently melted away and removed.
• Firming effect: Results are visible after just a few weeks, but improve over the course of 3-6 months as collagen production increases.

Which areas can be treated with Endolift?

Endolift can effectively treat several areas of the face and neck:

• Sagging skin on the face
• Jawline and chin (reduction of submental fat)
• Neck (mild to moderate skin laxity)
• Bags under the eyes

Duration of results: The tightening effect usually lasts for about 2 years, but some patients report results lasting up to 5 years.

Is the treatment painful?

No, you will not experience any pain during treatment. The area to be treated is numbed with a local anesthetic, so you can feel comfortable throughout the entire process.

What will you look like after treatment?

Endolift leaves minimal visible traces after treatment. There is no need for compression bandages, and you will be able to resume your daily activities after a short time.

Common reactions after treatment include:

• Slight redness and possible bruising, which usually disappears within 1-2 weeks.
• Some swelling may occur, but this varies from person to person.

Are there any side effects?

Endolift is a safe procedure, but as with all treatments, there may be some side effects:

• Swelling and slight discomfort in the treatment area
• Bruises that disappear within a few days
• In rare cases, motor nerves may be affected, but this is temporary and will pass.

There is also a small risk of infection at the injection sites, so it is important to keep the area clean after treatment.

Who should not receive Endolift?

There are some groups who should not receive this treatment, including:

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women
• People with chronic skin diseases
• People with severe vascular disease or on immunosuppressive medication
• People with wounds or malignant diseases in the treated area

What results can I expect from Endolift?

Most people experience immediate tightening after treatment, but the results improve over time as collagen production increases. The final result will be visible after 3-6 months, but some patients see results even earlier.

For most people, one treatment will be sufficient, but in some cases, follow-up treatment may be necessary to achieve the desired result. Endolift provides natural rejuvenation without the need for surgery, and the effects last for several years.
