1470nm optical fibre laser for subdermal face and neck lifting under local anaesthesia.
Endolift is a minimally invasive laser procedure using the DEKA ENDOLIFT system — a 1470nm diode laser delivered via a thin optical fibre (200-400 micrometers) inserted through micro-punctures in the skin. The laser energy acts subdermally to cause immediate tissue contraction and stimulate long-term collagen remodelling for face and neck lifting without general anaesthesia. The procedure is performed under tumescent local anaesthesia (TLA) and typically requires a single session. Unlike surgical facelift, Endolift does not involve incisions, sutures or general anaesthesia. It is indicated for mild-to-moderate facial laxity, jowling, neck laxity and submental fat reduction. At MED YU MED Dubai, Endolift is performed exclusively by DHA-licensed physicians. Results develop progressively over 3-6 months as collagen remodelling continues. Individual outcomes vary based on tissue quality, age and lifestyle.
How it works
- Local anaesthetic injected into treatment areas
- Micro-entry points created (0.6 mm) — essentially invisible at healing
- Optical fibre inserted and moved in a retrograde pattern under the skin
- 1470 nm energy causes collagen contraction and fat reduction in the subdermal layer
- Immediate slight tissue contraction; progressive lifting over 2–3 months
Protocol at MED YU MED
- Pre-treatment consultation and assessment required
- Single session for most patients; second session possible at 12 months
- Local anaesthetic only — no general anaesthesia required
- Procedure: 60–90 minutes depending on areas treated
- Treated areas: face (jowls, nasolabial, neck), under-chin, abdomen, inner arms
Aftercare
- Mild swelling and bruising for 3–7 days
- Compression garment if neck area treated — worn for 3–5 days
- No vigorous exercise for 5 days
- Sleep with head elevated for first 3–5 nights
- Avoid heat, direct sun and alcohol for 1 week
- Results develop progressively over 2–3 months

FAQ
How is Endolift different from thread lift?
Endolift uses laser energy delivered via optical fibre to cause subdermal tissue contraction and collagen stimulation. Thread lift uses mechanical lifting sutures. Endolift acts thermally and does not leave physical foreign material in the skin. Both are minimally invasive. Your physician can advise which is more appropriate for your anatomy.
Is Endolift painful?
The procedure is performed under tumescent local anaesthesia (TLA), which numbs the treatment area. Patients may feel pressure or mild warmth during the procedure. Post-procedure swelling and tenderness typically resolve within 3-7 days.
When will I see Endolift results?
Some immediate tissue tightening is visible, but the primary results develop progressively over 3-6 months as collagen remodelling occurs. Final outcome assessment is recommended at 6 months post-procedure.
How many Endolift sessions are needed?
Most patients require a single session. In some cases, a second session after 6-12 months may be recommended depending on individual response and degree of laxity. Your physician will advise based on your anatomy and goals.
