Endolifting

Endolifting is an advanced ‘energy-based’ cosmetic treatment that utilizes energy for skin tightening. During Endolift, the subcutaneous layers are stimulated with a cannula that delivers radiofrequency energy. The result is ‘internal heating,’ prompting the skin to produce new supporting cells such as collagen and elastin during the recovery process. Dr. Brandt has performed over 500 Endolift treatments using the ‘Innofill RF filler injection system,’ and the results are stunningly natural.

The Endolift treatment is relatively labor-intensive compared to a filler treatment, especially when combined with PRP or fillers, an appointment can easily last 1-2 hours – please keep this in mind. In general, Endolift is not perceived as painful. If you find it very nerve-wracking or are afraid of needles, let us know in advance, and we can work together to make the treatment as pain-free as possible.

In a PlexR treatment, plasma energy is used, similar to static energy or lightning. Controlled energy pulses are delivered to the skin in a PlexR treatment. Upon contact with the skin, the energy is converted into heat, causing the upper layer of the skin to evaporate, and a new skin layer forms over the next few days. In the deeper layers of the skin, cell renewal is stimulated, and a contraction of collagen and elastin fibers occurs, resulting in tighter skin.

Immediately after the treatment, there are small holes in the superficial skin layer. In the first days of recovery, there is usually mild to moderate swelling, and scabs form, which usually fall off on their own within a few days. For optimal results, it is important to let the scabs fall off naturally. This typically happens within 4-6 days. Afterward, new pink skin emerges. It is important to protect the skin from the sun by applying sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) as long as the skin still has a pinkish color. The color difference will fade naturally.

“PRP is an abbreviation for ‘Platelet-Rich Plasma.’ PRP consists of filtered plasma from your own blood, hence the nickname ‘Vampire Facelift.’ PRP is filtered from your own blood and contains, among other components, platelets. These platelets contain growth factors that instruct the skin to produce new cells such as collagen and elastin.”

“PRP is autologous, so there is no risk of allergic reactions. The injections themselves may cause mild skin reactions or a bruise, similar to other injections.”

A PRP treatment stimulates the skin to generate new cells that make the skin more elastic and firmer. Additionally, new blood vessels are formed, improving the blood circulation of the skin. The result is a beautiful natural ‘glow’ that becomes visible in the days to weeks following the treatment.
