The Endolift® alternative — evolved.
Endolift® pioneered laser fibre lifting in the mid-2010s. XL Endolaser is the second-generation evolution — dual 980nm + 1470nm delivered under one fibre, doctor-led on Harley Street, with deeper collagen contraction per pass.
The short answer
If you're searching for an Endolift® alternative in the UK, XL Endolaser is the second-generation equivalent: same intra-tissue lifting principle, upgraded with dual 980nm + 1470nm wavelengths in one micro-fibre. It's doctor-led by Dr Ahmed Haq (Lead Trainer, Harley Street Institute), UKCA & CE-marked, and priced from £450 per zone versus £1,500+ for legacy Endolift®.
The two generations of laser fibre lifting
First generation · c. 2015
Endolift®
A genuine breakthrough. Eufoton introduced the concept of delivering a 1470nm diode laser directly through a fine optical fibre inserted under the skin — no scalpel, minimal downtime, real collagen contraction. It defined the category and remains a respected device internationally.
Second generation · today
XL Endolaser
Combines 980nm (targets adipose & vasculature) with 1470nm (targets water & collagen) through a single 200µm micro-fibre. One pass tightens skin AND remodels small fat pockets — especially valuable for double chin, jowls and pre-jowl definition. Delivered doctor-led on Harley Street.

When XL Endolaser is the better choice
Double chin with mild-to-moderate skin laxity (dual-wave handles both in one pass)
Jowl re-descent in the 35–55 bracket wanting a non-surgical alternative to a mini facelift
Pre-jowl sulcus definition where filler alone would over-volumise
Neck laxity with early platysmal banding (paired with anti-wrinkle injections)
Patients previously treated with 1G Endolift® seeking a top-up with deeper adipose remodelling
“The most successful cosmetic treatment isn’t the one that changes a face the most. It’s the one that helps a person feel more aligned with the image they already had of themselves.”
Frequently asked
Is there a better alternative to Endolift® in the UK?
Endolift® pioneered laser fibre lifting in the mid-2010s using a single 1470nm diode. Cosmedocs offers XL Endolaser — a second-generation dual-wavelength (980nm + 1470nm) laser fibre lift delivered under one fibre, doctor-led on Harley Street. It targets the same clinical outcome (skin tightening, jawline definition, sub-mental lift) with deeper collagen contraction per pass and typically longer results.
What is the difference between Endolift® and XL Endolaser?
Endolift® uses a single 1470nm wavelength. XL Endolaser is a 2G evolution combining 980nm (vascular/adipose) and 1470nm (water/collagen) through the same optical fibre. In practice this means one pass tightens skin AND melts small pockets of stubborn fat — useful for double chin, jowls and pre-jowl sulcus.
How much does the Endolift® alternative cost at Cosmedocs?
XL Endolaser starts from £450 per zone. Full-face + neck packages are quoted at consultation. Endolift® in the UK typically ranges £1,500–£3,500 per zone; our doctor-led 2G protocol is priced transparently and includes 3-month review.
Is XL Endolaser FDA / CE approved?
The device carries UKCA and CE marks. It is delivered by Dr Ahmed Haq, Lead Trainer for laser fibre lifting at the Harley Street Institute, in partnership with a CQC-registered clinical facility.
Endolift® vs XL Endolaser — which lasts longer?
Both stimulate neocollagenesis, so results build over 3–6 months and typically last 18–24 months after a single session. Dual-wavelength protocols show marginally longer retention in our audit because deeper adipose remodelling reduces re-descent of soft tissue.
Can I have this treatment instead of Endolift® for double chin?
Yes. XL Endolaser is our preferred protocol for sub-mental fullness because the 980nm component addresses the adipose layer while 1470nm tightens the overlying skin — a single-pass solution that Endolift® typically requires layered treatments to match.
