We discover New Zealand’s first EndoliftX machine—the new frontier in anti-aging technology
Anti-ageing technology is evolving rapidly—and the most exciting advancements are now happening beneath the skin. Late last year, Ponsonby boutique skin clinic La Pelle introduced the first-ever EndoliftX to New Zealand: a next-generation, medical-grade laser treatment designed to lift, tighten, and sculpt both the face and body. Delivering results often compared to surgical outcomes—without incisions, scarring or prolonged downtime—EndoliftX represents a new era in minimally invasive aesthetics.
Founded by Dr Rachel Lee, La Pelle offers advanced regenerative cosmetic and skin health treatments, with a focus on innovation, patient safety and refined, natural-looking results. With a background in Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery, Dr Lee is dedicated to constant innovation, and has travelled to Italy to train directly with the EndoliftX team, bringing the expertise and technology back to New Zealand. She firmly believes the minimally invasive, incredibly effective laser procedure is a genuine game changer for clients looking for results that can be seen immediately on the day, and continue to get better over time.
Unlike traditional lasers that work only on the skin’s surface, EndoliftX works from the inside out. The treatment uses an ultra-fine micro-optic fibre—thinner than a human hair—which is gently inserted beneath the skin to deliver precise laser energy. This targeted approach stimulates collagen and elastin production, tightens connective tissue and can help reduce small, stubborn pockets of fat. The result is improved skin quality and definition without altering facial expression or identity.
Long established across Europe and USA, EndoliftX is now gaining global recognition as the next generation of non-surgical lifting. EndoliftX is particularly effective for the lower face and jawline, jowls, under-eye areas, and body zones including the abdomen, arms, thighs and knees. One of its key advantages is efficiency. The procedure requires no general anaesthetic, involves no incisions and has minimal downtime. Up to 50 per cent of results are often visible on the day, with continued improvement as collagen remodels over the following months. Most patients require treatment only once every few years, making it incredibly attractive to La Pelle’s ever-growing clientele, with more than 20 procedures performed in clinic since launch.
‘We’re seeing patients, both men and women, become increasingly discerning. They want treatments that are subtle, natural and long-lasting,’ she tells me, ‘and EndoliftX ticks all of those boxes. It’s not about changing who you are, but restoring structure and firmness in a way that works with the body.’ Key to its effectiveness is skin quality, so Dr. Lee will often pre-treat patients with biostimulatory injectables such as Jalupro, Profhilo, Rejuran or Radiesse to enhance collagen response and maximise Endoliftx results.
Now available across Australia and New Zealand, EndoliftX is officially distributed by Dermalis, ensuring certified technology, practitioner training and ongoing clinical support.
‘It’s truly revolutionary,’ concludes Dr Lee. ‘There’s truly no laser like it in the world that goes under the skin to create real transformation.’ I, for one, am eager to see the results.
