Endolift® and ULTRAcel: The Ultimate Duo Face Lift for Non-Surgical Skin Tightening

If you are searching for a non surgical facelift that genuinely lifts and tightens without the downtime of surgery, the combination of Endolift® and ULTRAcel may be the answer. In simple terms, Endolift® contracts and remodels tissue from beneath the skin, while ULTRAcel stimulates deep collagen production using focused ultrasound. Together, they create a powerful, layered lifting effect that addresses both structure and skin quality.

At Dr Yusra Clinic’s in Manchester, London & Liverpool, we see many men and women between 35 and 75 who feel their jawline has softened, their lower face has begun to descend, or their neck no longer reflects how energised they feel. They do not necessarily want surgery. They want refinement. They want natural definition. They want to age well.

This is where the Endolift® and ULTRAcel combination treatment becomes transformative.

What Is Endolift® and How Does It Work?

Endolift® is a minimally invasive laser face lift treatment that uses a fine 1470nm laser fibre inserted beneath the skin. It delivers controlled thermal energy directly into the subdermal tissue.

This achieves three key effects:

• Tissue contraction for immediate tightening
• Stimulation of collagen remodelling
• Targeted fat remodelling in areas such as jowls and under the chin

Unlike surface lasers, Endolift® works internally. It reshapes and tightens from within, making it particularly effective for Endolift® for lower face sagging and jawline definition.

Areas Commonly Treated with Endolift®

At Dr Yusra Clinic, Endolift® is offered across all 3 locations and is commonly used to treat:

• Jawline laxity
• Jowls
• Lower face heaviness
• Submental fullness
• Neck skin laxity

For patients seeking a precise jawline contouring treatment, Endolift® is often the structural foundation.

Endolift® Results, Downtime and Longevity

Results begin with visible tightening due to tissue contraction. Over the following three to six months, collagen stimulation improves firmness and contour further.

Downtime is typically minimal. Mild swelling and tenderness can occur, but most patients resume normal activity within a few days.

Longevity varies, but many patients enjoy results for one to two years, depending on skin quality and lifestyle factors.

What Is ULTRAcel and How Does It Tighten Skin?

ULTRAcel is an advanced ultrasound skin tightening device that targets the deep dermis and SMAS layer. It delivers focused ultrasound energy to precise depths, creating thermal coagulation points that stimulate collagen and elastin production.

Unlike Endolift®, ULTRAcel does not involve inserting a fibre. It works transdermally, meaning through the surface of the skin.

At Dr Yusra Clinic, ULTRAcel is offered in our Liverpool and London locations.

How ULTRAcel Targets the SMAS Layer

The SMAS layer is the same structural layer addressed in surgical facelifts. ULTRAcel reaches this layer non surgically, encouraging gradual lifting and firming over time.

This makes it ideal for:

• Early to moderate skin laxity
• Lower face descent
• Neck tightening
• Cheek and midface lifting

For patients asking, “Is ULTRAcel better than HIFU?” the answer lies in precision and technology. ULTRAcel allows customised depth control, enabling tailored treatment plans.

ULTRAcel Results Timeline and Maintenance

Results develop gradually over 8 to 12 weeks as collagen regeneration progresses. Improvements continue for several months.

Maintenance is typically recommended annually or as part of a structured rejuvenation plan.

Endolift® vs ULTRAcel: What Is the Difference?

When comparing Endolift® vs ULTRAcel, the key distinction lies in depth and mechanism.

• Endolift®: Subdermal laser fibre, tissue contraction, fat remodelling
• ULTRAcel: Focused ultrasound, SMAS stimulation, collagen regeneration

Endolift® offers more immediate structural contouring. ULTRAcel offers progressive tightening and lift.

The question is not which is better. It is which layer needs support.

Why Combine Endolift® and ULTRAcel for a Non Surgical Face Lift?

This is where the concept of the Endolift® and ULTRAcel combination treatment becomes compelling.

Facial ageing is multi layered. Skin laxity, fat redistribution, and collagen loss occur at different depths.

By combining Endolift® and ULTRAcel:

• Endolift® tightens and remodels subdermal tissue
• ULTRAcel stimulates deep collagen production
• The overall lift is more comprehensive

For patients seeking the best non surgical facelift for jowls UK, layering these technologies creates synergy.

At Dr Yusra Clinic, we do not approach ageing with a single device mentality. We design consultation led, medically driven plans tailored to anatomy and facial dynamics.

Who Is a Good Candidate for the Endolift® and ULTRAcel Duo?

The ideal candidate is typically:

• Aged 30 to 75
• Experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity
• Seeking a non surgical facelift alternative to surgery
• Realistic about outcomes

This treatment is particularly suitable for:

• Softening jowls
• Improving jawline definition
• Tightening neck skin
• Enhancing lower face contour

However, patients with significant excess skin may still require surgical consultation. Honest assessment is central to our ethos.

Risks, Side Effects and Realistic Expectations

Both Endolift® and ULTRAcel are clinically established energy based devices, but no treatment is without risk.

Possible side effects include:

• Temporary swelling
• Tenderness
• Mild bruising
• Temporary nerve sensitivity

Serious complications are rare when performed by experienced medical practitioners.

It is important to understand that this is not a surgical facelift. It will not replicate surgical excision of excess skin. It is a minimally invasive lifting strategy designed for refinement and structural support.

At Dr Yusra Clinic, every treatment begins with a comprehensive medical consultation. We assess facial anatomy, tissue quality, and long term goals before recommending intervention.

The Dr Yusra Clinic Approach

What makes this journey different is not simply the device. It is the philosophy.

Our patients in Manchester, Liverpool and London, seek subtle enhancement. They want to look like themselves, only fresher and more defined.

We view Endolift® and ULTRAcel not as isolated treatments, but as part of a holistic strategy that may include skin boosters such as Profhilo®, microneedling, or regenerative therapies where appropriate.

This layered approach allows us to address:

• Collagen remodelling
• Skin laxity treatment
• Facial contouring
• Long term skin quality

We encourage patients to view rejuvenation as a process, not a single appointment.
