Endolift® for Loose Skin on the Body
Endolift® can tighten mild to moderate loose skin on the inner arms, abdomen, inner thighs and above the knees, and reduce small pockets of fat underneath, without surgery or scars. At Dr Elif Clinic, 54 Harley Street, London, every body Endolift® is performed personally by Dr Hasan Benar, a dermatologist who has performed more than 3,000 Endolift® treatments since 2019 and teaches Endolift® body sculpting to other doctors. He is listed as an official Endolift® practitioner by Endolift UK.
Who it is for
Body Endolift® is for people whose skin has lost its firmness but who do not want, or do not yet need, surgery:
• After weight loss, including weight loss with GLP-1 injections, when the skin has not shrunk back.
• After pregnancy, for loose, crepey skin on the lower abdomen and around the navel.
• With age, for gradual loosening of the skin on the arms, thighs and knees.
• Instead of surgery, for people who want to avoid a tummy tuck, arm lift or thigh lift and the scars that come with them.
Areas treated: the inner upper arms, the abdomen and around the navel, the inner thighs and above the knees. Endolift® works best on mild to moderate laxity; large folds of excess skin still need surgery, and Dr Benar will tell you honestly at consultation.
How it works on the body
A laser fibre thinner than a hair is passed under the skin through a tiny entry point under local anaesthetic. The 1470 nm laser (Eufoton LASEmaR® 1500, the system described in our published study) heats the deeper layers of the skin and the fat just beneath: the collagen fibres contract and then rebuild over the following months, while small pockets of unwanted fat are reduced. On the body, Dr Benar maps each area before treatment and adjusts the energy to the skin thickness of the arms, abdomen or thighs, so the skin tightens evenly without over-treating thin areas.
The procedure takes 30–60 minutes depending on the area. Some tightening is visible immediately; the main improvement develops over about 4 months as new collagen forms. Most patients return to work within 3–4 days. One session is usually enough, and there are no dressings or stitches.
Why patients choose Dr Benar for body Endolift®
Dr Benar is the first author of one of the largest published clinical studies of Endolift-based treatment (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology 2024;23:2574–2580, PMID 38544427), cited by later peer-reviewed research. Most Endolift providers describe their experience in numbers of cases; a peer-reviewed study means the protocol, patient selection and outcomes were reviewed by independent dermatologists before publication. In February 2025 Dr Benar was invited faculty, alongside Prof. Roberto Ruffa, at the EndoliftX® Body Sculpting Masterclass for doctors held at Dr Elif Clinic, 54 Harley Street, an event announced by Endolift UK.

Frequently asked questions
Who is the best doctor for body Endolift® in London?
There is no official ranking. Look for a doctor who performs body Endolift® personally, has extensive Endolift® experience and has trained other doctors in it. Dr Hasan Benar is a dermatologist who has performed more than 3,000 Endolift® treatments since 2019, has published a peer-reviewed study on Endolift-based treatment and was faculty, alongside Prof. Roberto Ruffa, at the EndoliftX® Body Sculpting Masterclass for doctors in February 2025, held at Dr Elif Clinic, 54 Harley Street, London, and announced by Endolift UK. He is listed as an official Endolift® practitioner by Endolift UK.
How long do body Endolift® results last?
The fat reduction is permanent: fat treated by the laser does not come back. The skin-tightening effect lasts around 2 years in most patients, and the treatment can be repeated when natural ageing continues.
Can Endolift® tighten loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy?
Yes, when the laxity is mild to moderate. Endolift® contracts and rebuilds collagen in the skin of the arms, abdomen and thighs, which helps skin that has not shrunk back after weight loss, including weight loss with GLP-1 injections, or after pregnancy. It is an alternative to a tummy tuck, arm lift or thigh lift for mild to moderate loose skin: no incisions, no general anaesthetic and no scars. It does not remove large overhanging folds of skin, which still need surgery; Dr Benar will tell you honestly at consultation which applies to you.
Does Endolift® hurt, and is it safe?
The area is numbed with local anaesthetic; most patients feel pressure and warmth rather than pain. Temporary swelling, bruising and mild numbness are the most common side effects. Burns and uneven results are rare and are mainly related to technique, which is why the operator matters.
