Endolift for double chin — fat and skin, in one session.
A double chin is rarely just fat. It's almost always fat plus a degree of skin laxity — and treating one without the other is why so many "fat-melting" results look deflated. Intra-tissue laser addresses both at the same time, in a single 30–45 minute appointment under local anaesthesia.
Editorial note. Endolift® is a trademarked Eufoton device. At Cosmedocs we deliver an equivalent dual-wavelength intra-tissue laser treatment on a UKCA & CE-marked platform, branded Endolaser (Laser Fibre Lift). Clinical principle and indications are the same.
Why intra-tissue laser is well suited to the chin
The submental area has a thin, mobile skin envelope sitting on a small but stubborn fat pad, all anchored to fibrous septae running down to the platysma muscle. A surface laser can't reach it. A fat injection won't tighten it. A thread can lift it but won't reduce volume. An optical fibre placed at the right depth does three things in one pass:
- Reduces a measured volume of submental fat (1470nm)
- Contracts the fibrous septae anchoring the fat (980nm)
- Stimulates new collagen in the dermis above for sustained skin tightening
Are you a candidate?
Excellent candidate
- · Moderate submental fullness
- · Mild-to-moderate skin laxity
- · Defined underlying jawline
- · Healthy weight, stable
- · Realistic expectations
Better suited to other treatments
- · Severe submental fat (consider surgical lipo)
- · Heavy platysmal banding (consider neck lift)
- · Recessed chin (needs filler or implant first)
- · Active weight loss (treat once weight is stable)
Most chin patients also benefit from a chin projection review
A weak chin makes a small amount of submental fat look like a large double chin. We always assess both at consultation.
