TYPICAL DURATION OF LIFT
Nema-Lift is the technique Dr. Nema has spent six years mastering. Built on more than 1,500 Endolift treatments, it pairs laser-assisted contouring beneath the skin with CO₂ resurfacing on its surface — so the structure of the jawline and neck is tightened, and the skin covering it is renewed, in a single, minimally invasive plan. The aim is a lift that lasts, and a result that still looks like you.
How it works
STRUCTURE, THEN SURFACE
BENEATH THE SKIN
Endolift
A fine laser fibre is introduced beneath the skin, delivering controlled heat to the deeper tissue. This tightens lax skin and stimulates collagen, sharpening the jawline and neck without surgical incisions.
ON THE SURFACE
CO₂ resurfacing
A fractional CO₂ laser renews the skin's surface in a fine dot-matrix pattern, stimulating new collagen and improving texture, fine lines, and overall tightness across the face and neck.
Areas treated
FROM THE JAWLINE TO THE WHOLE FACE AND NECK
DEFINITION
Definition
Sharpens a softening jawline and reduces early jowling by tightening the tissue beneath it.
TIGHTENING
Neck
Addresses laxity and crepey texture in the neck, an area that often shows age before the face does.
SKIN QUALITY
Overall face and neck
Firms and smooths skin across the lower face and neck, treating both tightness and surface texture together.
Why combine them
WHAT EACH DOES ALONE, AND TOGETHER
ENDOLIFT ALONE
Structure
Tightens and contours from within. Does less for surface texture and fine lines.
CO₂ ALONE
Surface
Renews texture and tone. Works at the skin's surface rather than the deeper tissue beneath.
NEMA-LIFT
Both, in one plan
Addresses lift and skin quality together, rather than across two separate treatment courses.
Who it's for
A QUICK SELF-CHECK BEFORE YOUR CONSULTATION
OFTEN A GOOD FIT
-
Early-to-moderate jawline or neck laxity
-
Skin texture or fine lines alongside loss of definition
-
Wanting a lasting lift without a surgical facelift
-
Looking for a natural result, not a dramatic change
WORTH FLAGGING AT CONSULTATION
-
Significant skin excess, which may be better suited to surgery
-
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
-
A history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring
-
Darker skin types, where CO₂ settings need careful adjustment
-
Use of isotretinoin within the past 6–12 months
Recovery
WHAT TO EXPECT AS THE TREATMENT SETTLES
FIRST FEW DAYS
Swelling and redness
Combining both treatments typically means more swelling and downtime than either alone. This is expected, not a complication.
FIRST 1–2 WEEKS
Surface healing
Peeling or crusting from the CO₂ component settles over this period, while deeper tightening from Endolift begins quietly beneath it.
1–3 MONTHS
Tightening builds
Collagen remodelling continues well after the skin looks healed, so definition and firmness improve gradually.
ONGOING
Daily sun protection
SPF 30+ daily for at least three months protects your result and reduces the risk of pigment changes while the skin renews.
DR. NEMA'S APPROACH
"I built Nema-Lift because tightening the jawline and restoring the skin's texture were always two separate appointments. They shouldn't be."
DR. GEORGE NEMA — FOUNDER, SCULPTURE CLINIC
Common questions
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Is Nema-lift surgery?
No. It is minimally invasive: Endolift uses a fine laser fibre rather than surgical incisions, and CO₂ resurfacing works on the skin's surface. Dr. Nema will tell you at consultation if your degree of laxity is better suited to a surgical option.
How long do the results last?
Nema-Lift is designed to deliver a lift lasting around 3–5 years. Individual results vary with skin quality, age, lifestyle, and sun exposure, and ageing continues after treatment.
Why combine Endolift with CO₂ resurfacing?
Endolift tightens from beneath the skin; CO₂ resurfacing renews its surface. Combining them addresses both lift and skin quality in one plan rather than two separate courses of treatment.
How much downtime should I plan for?
Expect swelling and redness for the first few days and surface peeling over one to two weeks. Many patients plan around ten days before feeling comfortable socially. Dr. Nema will give you a personal estimate at consultation.
