What is the cost of Endolift in Turkey?
An Endolift in Turkey costs between £800 and £1,600 depending on the area treated and the clinic, compared to £1,200 to £2,800 in the UK. This laser, placed under the skin via an optical fibre, aims to firm the lower face, neck or certain areas of the body, without surgical facelift.

📈 Statistics and success rates
Published data on Endolift remain scarce and of low evidence level. A 2025 systematic review included only 7 studies out of 111 identified articles, all at high risk of bias, and concludes that it is difficult to confirm the effectiveness and safety of the technique[1].
The largest review, published in 2024, includes 23 studies: it describes mild and transient adverse effects, and calls for larger controlled trials[2]. In a series of 9 patients treated for jowls, improvement was rated good to very good in approximately 90% of them[3], a result that cannot be generalised.
According to the ISAPS global survey for 2025, 17.3 million non-surgical procedures were performed, and non-surgical skin tightening ranks third, behind botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid[4]. This category includes several techniques and does not measure Endolift alone.
What is Endolift?
Endolift is a cosmetic medicine technique introduced in 2005: the doctor inserts an optical fibre under the skin connected to a 1,470 nm diode laser[1][2]. It is presented as a non-surgical alternative to a facelift, for the face, neck and certain body areas.
This wavelength has a high affinity for water. According to a 2026 review, the heat produced destroys part of the targeted fat and stimulates collagen restructuring in depth, with a short recovery[5]. The same review prioritises larger randomised trials on the duration of results.
🇹🇷 Why choose Turkey for your Endolift?
✅ Major advantages
The first argument is price: an Endolift in Turkey costs £800 to £1,600, compared to £1,200 to £2,800 in the UK. For the full face and neck, the range goes from £1,600 to £2,000 in the UK to £1,200 to £1,600 in Turkey, excluding flights and extra nights.
Istanbul has many aesthetic medicine clinics. The page on medical tourism in Turkey describes the general framework of the stay, and the one on cosmetic surgery in Turkey presents related procedures, surgical ones.
⚠️ Points of caution
Evidence remains thin: the 2025 review notes non-standardised treatment settings and adverse effects often linked to off-label use[1]. The duration of results is not established[6], and a quote that promises a permanent effect in one session is not based on any study.
A short stay leaves little time to assess a complication on site. The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office advises taking out insurance covering medical costs before travelling to Turkey[7]. The NHS recommends checking the practitioner’s qualifications and planned follow-up before going[8].
👤 Are you the ideal candidate?
✅ Recommended profile
Published studies cover skin laxity of the face and neck, wrinkles and folds, and localised fat deposits of the jowls, abdomen, thighs or arms[2]. The most studied profile remains that of laxity one wishes to treat without surgery.
If the neck mostly has fat, the page on neck liposuction cost in Turkey presents the surgical option. For a face lacking volume rather than firmness, the one on fat transfer in Turkey describes another approach.
❌ Contraindications
The reviews consulted do not provide a common list of contraindications, due to lack of large trials[1][6]. Pregnancy, an infection in the area, anticoagulant treatment or active skin disease should be raised with the doctor before any quote: they decide whether the session remains possible.
💰 All-inclusive package details
Packages offered by Turkish clinics generally include the consultation and Endolift session, sometimes a hotel night and transfers between airport, hotel and clinic. Content varies from one clinic to another and should be checked item by item on the written quote.
Ask in writing what remains at your expense: flights, extra nights, skincare products, follow-up or second session. The price shown for a targeted area does not cover the full face and neck, whose range is higher.
UK vs Turkey comparison
| Criteria | UK | Turkey |
|---|---|---|
| Who performs the procedure | A doctor, aesthetic procedure[9] | Depending on the clinic: ask for the doctor’s name |
| Quote content | Consultation and session | Possible package: session, hotel, transfers |

🛤️ Your medical journey in Istanbul
A stay for an Endolift in Istanbul most often lasts two to three days, depending on the clinic’s programme. Transfers and hotel, when included, are organised by the clinic. Here is a typical itinerary, to compare with what the clinic announces in writing.
Day 1: arrival and consultation. The doctor examines the skin, specifies the areas to treat and reviews medical history. This is the time to ask whether they will perform the session themselves, and which device will be used.
Day 2: session. The fibre is inserted under the skin, area by area. Adverse effects described in published studies are most often mild and resolve spontaneously[2], but they should be reported to the medical team before departure.
Day 3: check and return. The clinic team checks the treated areas and provides written instructions. Keep the report, device name and settings used: a doctor in the UK will need them in case of problems.
🔒 Safety and guarantees
“This is a medical procedure that must be performed by a doctor with real training in laser and aesthetic medicine, and not delegated to non-medical staff.”
Dr Mustafa Aydınol, plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon
📱 Support after your return
After your return, follow-up offered by the clinic is most often remote, via photos and messages. Photograph the treated areas from front and side, under the same lighting, on dates set by the medical team: evolution is best seen on a series of photos.
In the UK, aesthetic procedures are regulated: according to the General Medical Council, doctors are responsible for delegated tasks and must ensure patient safety[9]. If you experience increasing pain, spreading redness or fever, consult a doctor in the UK without delay, with the clinic report in hand.
🏥 How to choose the best clinic?
- Accreditation: check the facility’s status in the Joint Commission International directory; JCI accreditation covers the facility, not the doctor.
- Experience: the doctor performing the session is a member of a named learned society, such as ISAPS, which can be verified in its official register.
- Verified reviews: read dated reviews on an independent platform, and ask for before and after photos taken at the same angle and lighting.
🏥 Reference facilities in Istanbul
- Estecenter Cerrahi Tıp Merkezi: medical centre in Fulya, in the Şişli district, which presents Endolift among its treatments on its official website.
- Hisar Intercontinental Hospital: hospital in Ümraniye, JCI accredited since 2007 according to the Joint Commission register, which offers laser facial treatments.

💬 Case study
Situation composed from common testimonials; name and age are invented.
Laura, 52: “My jawline was sagging and I didn’t want a surgical facelift. I compared several quotes and chose Istanbul for the price. The doctor explained the limitations at the consultation. The session was short, my face a bit swollen afterwards. Today, I find my neck more defined, without a radical change.“
❓ FAQ – Frequently asked questions
How much does Endolift cost in Turkey?
An Endolift in Turkey costs between £800 and £1,600 depending on the area, compared to £1,200 to £2,800 in the UK. A targeted lower face area costs £800 to £1,200, full face and neck £1,200 to £1,600.
Is Endolift effective?
Published series report improvement in firmness and jawline, but on small samples. A 2025 systematic review judges the evidence insufficient to confirm the technique’s effectiveness, due to lack of good quality randomised studies.
How long do Endolift results last?
No solid study currently determines the duration of results. Reviews from 2025 and 2026 call for longer trials to assess longevity. A quote announcing a permanent result is not based on any published data.
Is one Endolift session enough?
Published protocols vary widely, and no consensus sets the number of sessions. The doctor proposes it based on the area and skin condition. Ask in writing whether a second session is planned and if it is included in the price quoted.
What are the side effects of Endolift?
According to a review of 23 studies published in 2024, observed adverse effects are mild and self-resolving. Another review notes complications mostly in off-label use: doctor’s training and device settings matter.
Does Endolift replace a surgical facelift?
No. Endolift targets skin laxity and small fat deposits, without removing skin. Marked facial or neck laxity is more suited to a facelift, which the doctor may propose after examination during the consultation.
Who can perform Endolift in the UK?
In the UK, cosmetic procedures are regulated by the General Medical Council and must be performed by qualified doctors. In Turkey as in the UK, ask for the name of the doctor performing the session and verify their specialty before booking.
