Overview
The natural aging process doesn’t just touch the skin—it reshapes the entire face. With time, the skin loses elasticity, collagen diminishes, and fat redistributes, leading to sagging, volume loss, and blurring of youthful contours. For many individuals, this transformation triggers a search for solutions to help them feel like themselves again—refreshed, not artificial.
In India, a country where the beauty and wellness industry is booming, the demand for non-invasive cosmetic procedures has grown by 25% year-on-year, especially among urban working professionals in their 30s and 40s.
Dr. Anju Methil, an accomplished cosmetologist & dermatologist in Andheri, Mumbai, says:
“Patients today are looking for effective yet subtle enhancements. They want to restore, not reconstruct. EndoLift fits perfectly into this mindset—it offers skin tightening, contouring, and collagen regeneration without cuts or downtime. This is a leap forward in modern aesthetic dermatology.”
This case study narrates the journey of a 43-year-old professional and mother, who chose EndoLift to reclaim her facial definition and youthful glow—safely and naturally—under the expert care of Dr. Methil at Skin and Shape Clinic.
Basic Info
Doctor’s Name: Dr. Anju Methil
Clinic/ Hospital Name: Skin and Shape Clinic
Patient’s Name: Mrs. Neha Sharma (Name changed for confidentiality)
Patient’s Age: 43
Gender: Female
Patient Background
A dynamic working woman juggling corporate deadlines and parenting two children, Neha had always prided herself on staying active and healthy. However, as she moved into her early 40s, she began noticing subtle but persistent changes—looser skin around her jawline, a general dullness to her complexion, and tired features that didn’t match how she felt inside. Neha wasn’t ready for surgical facelifts or aggressive interventions. She wanted a solution that was minimal, smart, and aligned with her lifestyle.
Encouraged by a friend who had undergone aesthetic treatments at Skin and Shape Clinic, she scheduled a consultation with Dr. Anju Methil, seeking a natural rejuvenation solution that wouldn’t disrupt her daily life.
Symptoms
Upon clinical examination, Neha presented with the following concerns:
✔ Mild to Moderate Sagging Along the Jawline: This was especially visible when viewed in profile or on camera, impacting her facial silhouette.
✔ Loss of Skin Elasticity in the Lower Face: The skin around her mouth and jaw lacked firmness, causing a slightly deflated look.
✔ Tired, Sunken Appearance: Even with good sleep and makeup, she often looked more fatigued than she felt.
✔ Nasolabial Fold Deepening: The lines running from her nose to the corners of her mouth had become more pronounced.
Diagnostic Method
To tailor the most appropriate solution for Neha, a detailed diagnostic process was undertaken:
✔ Facial Aesthetic Analysis: An in-depth evaluation of her facial proportions, volume loss, and skin tension was conducted.
✔ Skin Laxity Assessment Using Clinical Photography: Before images were captured to assess baseline and treatment planning.
✔ Ultrasound Mapping: A non-invasive ultrasound scan helped determine the condition of her fat layer and confirmed that Neha was a suitable candidate for EndoLift.
Diagnosis
Based on the assessment, Neha was diagnosed with:
✔ Age-Related Facial Laxity: Natural loss of skin firmness due to reduced collagen and elastin production.
✔ Early Jowling: Slight drooping at the jawline, not severe but enough to affect facial balance.
✔ Volume Redistribution in the Lower Face: Soft tissue had subtly descended, leading to a heavier lower facial appearance.
Dr. Anju Methil, a distinguished cosmetologist & dermatologist in Andheri, Mumbai, shares:
“Neha’s case is typical of many women in their early 40s. They’re not ready—or willing—for surgical facelifts, but they do want to counter the early signs of aging. With EndoLift, we work beneath the skin using a precise laser to tighten tissues and stimulate collagen, all without any incisions or downtime.”
Treatment Plan
After discussing her expectations and options, Neha opted for EndoLift, a cutting-edge laser-based skin tightening treatment designed to redefine facial contours from the inside out.
Here’s how her treatment was structured:
✔ Procedure Performed: EndoLift laser skin tightening
✔ Duration: Approximately 60 minutes
✔ Technology Used: The laser used in endolift treatment is 1470 nanometer, which delivers energy through ultra-thin optical fibers inserted under the skin
✔ Anesthesia: Local anesthesia applied to target areas for a pain-free experience
✔ Target Areas: Jawline, lower face, and perioral region
The procedure was performed in a sterile outpatient setting. Using a fine laser fiber, heat was applied to stimulate tissue contraction and collagen production while simultaneously melting small fat deposits. The skin was visibly tighter immediately post-procedure, with results expected to improve over time. It can also be used for double chin correction, skin tightening and lifting, as well as for acne scars and skin rejuvenation. Additionally, it can be performed in conjunction with other procedures such as external HIFU or fillers for enhanced outcomes.
Post-Treatment Guidelines
Neha was advised on a few simple post-procedure care steps to ensure optimal healing and results:
✔ Mild Facial Swelling and Bruising: Expected for 3–5 days, manageable with cold compresses and rest.
✔ Sun Protection: Direct sun exposure to be avoided for at least a week.
✔ Skin Care Regimen: Use of prescribed moisturizers and broad-spectrum sunscreen to support healing.
✔ Activity Restrictions: No facial massages or vigorous workouts for 5–7 days to prevent tissue displacement.
Outcome
Within two weeks, Neha reported noticeable changes and visible rejuvenation:
✔ Jawline Tightening: The most significant change was seen along her lower face, where sagging was replaced with a more defined contour.
✔ Improved Skin Tone and Texture: Her skin appeared smoother and more radiant.
✔ Natural Lift: Unlike fillers or surgical lifts, the results maintained her natural expressions and facial harmony.
✔ Collagen Boost: Over the next three months, her skin continued to show improvements as collagen production ramped up.
Long-Term Expectation
With proper skin care and follow-up, Neha can expect sustained improvements over time:
✔ Ongoing Skin Firmness: Skin tightening will continue for up to 6 months post-treatment.
✔ Longevity of Results: Effects can last 2–3 years, depending on lifestyle and skincare routine.
✔ Maintenance Sessions: Annual touch-ups may help prolong and enhance outcomes as needed.
Patient Feedback
“Before the procedure, I often felt frustrated when I looked in the mirror. My face didn’t reflect how energetic or alive I felt inside—I looked tired, older, and not like myself. I didn’t want to look like someone else—I just wanted to look like me again. I was amazed at how natural the results looked. There were no scars, no stitches—just firmer skin and a sharper jawline. It gave me back my confidence without the fear of going under the knife. Dr. Anju Methil and her team were supportive throughout, explaining every step and making sure I felt comfortable. I feel refreshed and empowered—like the best version of myself.”
