In exciting news for local skin health and appearance medicine fans, boutique skin clinic La Pelle has officially introduced the first-ever EndoliftX machine to New Zealand.

Founded by Dr. Rachel Lee and based in the upmarket Auckland suburb of Ponsonby, La Pelle offers advanced cosmetic and skin health treatments with a focus on innovation, patient safety and natural results, and she is passionate about the potential for EndoliftX after travelling to Italy to train with the team. Dedicated to constant innovation and with a treatment menu that combines modern medical aesthetics with a holistic approach to confidence and wellbeing, Dr. Lee believes the minimally invasive laser procedure is the perfect new addition to the La Pelle offering.

Not yet available in Australia and still rarely found across Asia, EndoliftX represents the next generation of non-surgical face lifting, combining innovation, safety, and natural results in one treatment. It works beneath the skin to stimulate collagen, tighten connective tissue, and even melt small pockets of fat. Using a groundbreaking laser, the procedure sees a micro-optic fibre (thinner than a human hair) gently inserted under the skin to deliver targeted energy. This stimulates new collagen and elastin, naturally rejuvenating and tightening the skin from the inside out. EndoliftX is especially effective for the lower face, jawline, under the chin, and around the eyes, and can also be used on body areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, and knees.

Promising an immediate lift and tightening with visible results after just one session and with no incisions, no scarring and no general anaesthetic, its minimal downtime also makes it very attractive to La Pelle’s ever-growing clientele.

Dr. Lee, also the co-owner of Ponsonby Doctors, says the arrival of EndoliftX is a milestone for New Zealand: “We’ve seen patients become more discerning, they want treatments that are subtle, natural, and lasting. EndoliftX fits perfectly. It’s not about changing who you are, but restoring structure and firmness in a way that works with your body. For those with early skin laxity, heavy jowls, or a stubborn double chin, it can truly be a game-changer.”

And while EndoliftX is an investment, most patients only require treatment once every few years, making it a long-term solution rather than a quick fix.

Having undertaken dedicated surgical training in Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery, Dr. Lee has specialised expertise in managing skin cancer, wounds, burns, soft tissue injuries, and hand fractures, skills that have sharpened her precision and eye for detail. Her passion, however, lies in the realm of skin cancer and cosmetic medicine. At La Pelle, she provides comprehensive full-body skin checks, early cancer detection with dermatoscopy, minor skin surgeries, and rejuvenating cosmetic treatments. She founded La Pelle to merge evidence-based medicine with advanced, regenerative aesthetics treatments, helping patients feel confident and well by restoring skin health and enhancing natural beauty.  

La Pelle is proud to be the first clinic in New Zealand to offer this world-class treatment, reinforcing its mission to bring global innovation in cosmetic medicine to local patients.
