The short answer
If your main concern is jowls, a softening jawline or a double chin, Endolift® is usually the better first step. If it is texture, pores, acne scarring or crepey skin, RF microneedling is usually better. Many people benefit from both.

Common questions
Is Endolift better than Morpheus8?
They do different jobs. Endolift is better for lifting jowls and reducing fat. RF microneedling such as Morpheus8 is better for skin texture and scarring.
Can I combine Endolift and RF microneedling?
Yes. Yes, but it is not usually needed. Endolift treats the deeper layer; RF microneedling refines the surface. Dr Seth will tell you if it would add anything for you.
