Endolift for the inner arms in London

The loose skin of the inner upper arm, the kind that shows when the arm is raised, is on the maker's list of Endolift areas. A published series treated ten patients on the arms and lower abdomen, with fat and circumference measured smaller by tape. The fibre is passed under the skin along the inner arm from small entry points, under local anaesthetic, in one session. Every treatment is given by Dr Marie Duggan, GMC 7488383, at Endolift Clinic, 8 Devonshire Place, London, W1G 6HP, with the price in writing at a free consultation.

What it does on the arms

Endolift tightens the loose skin of the inner arm by contracting the fibrous layer under it and prompting new collagen, and where there is a thin layer of fat the same heat reduces it. It does not remove the hanging skin of an arm after a large weight loss, which an arm lift does, and it does not build the muscle beneath. The doctor says so where either is the better route, and EMsculpt NEO at our sister clinic is the muscle treatment.

What the series measured

Ten patients treated on the arms and lower abdomen, with fat and circumference measured smaller by tape; a single case report treated one arm with Endolift alongside another skin-tightening device. A study of another 1470 nm laser in 22 patients with heavy upper-arm laxity found the skin tightening "remained incomplete", which is why the doctor checks the degree of laxity first. Small series, no untreated comparison group, and a 2025 systematic review found a high risk of bias in the studies it kept. The full guide sets out every series.

The session and after

Local anaesthetic along the path of the fibre, the fibre passed under the skin from small entry points near the elbow and the armpit and drawn back pass by pass, both arms in one session. In our practice you go home the same day. Swelling, tenderness and some bruising along the inner arm for several days, loose sleeves and no heavy lifting for the first days. The result develops over three to six months and is photographed at the review in our practice. The downtime page sets out the recovery.

Who it suits

In our practice, an adult with early to moderate laxity of the inner arm and skin that still has elasticity, who wants one session rather than surgery. A 2026 review lists metal implants, active infection, pregnancy, bleeding disorders, skin disease and cancer as reasons not to treat. The abdomen page covers the area most often treated with the arms, and the full guide the rest. The price is in writing at a free consultation, with a price match on any comparable written quote.
