From Eye Bags to Abdomen, Here's What Endolift Costs in California
Ever wondered what that new non-surgical facelift procedure costs in California? Endolift is a minimally-invasive laser treatment that firms sagging skin and even targets small fat pockets. At Beauty Cult Medical Spa in Redondo Beach, we get a lot of questions about pricing, so let’s break down the costs – including our own rates – and explain exactly what you get for your money. We’ll also cover the many benefits of Endolift, what happens during and after the procedure, and smart recovery tips to make the most of your results.
What is Endolift & How Does it Work?
Endolift is like a high-tech laser “face lift” without any scalpels. A tiny fiber-optic laser probe is inserted under the skin (with local numbing) to deliver energy directly into tissue. This deep delivery makes Endolift different from surface lasers: it tightens the treated skin, melts small fat pockets, and jump-starts new collagen production for months of improvement.
It’s commonly used on the face (think under-eyes, jowls, jawline, neck) and even on body areas like the abdomen, arms or knees to trim stubborn pockets. In short, Endolift is a non-surgical facelift that firms and sculpts areas that are losing elasticity, without cutting.
Endolift Pricing: Beauty Cult vs California
Pricing for Endolift depends on the treatment area. In California, many clinics quote around $3,500 per session on average, but costs rise with larger areas or longer treatment times. For example, one medical spa in Miami lists about $3,000 for a face treatment and $3,200 for the body. Beauty Cult’s pricing is competitive and transparent. Below is a breakdown of our Endolift services and costs at our Redondo Beach medspa:
Remember that your final price will vary based on exactly which areas you treat and how many sessions are needed. In any case, with Beauty Cult you get a detailed quote in advance, so there are no surprises.
Why Endolift is Worth It (Benefits)
At Beauty Cult, we take skincare seriously — and Endolift is one of the most advanced treatments we offer. It delivers real lift and contour without surgery, needles, or downtime. This laser-based procedure targets sagging skin and stubborn fat in one quick session, making it a favorite among patients who want results without the recovery time of more invasive procedures.
Here’s what makes Endolift such a standout:
Immediate tightening + long-term collagen boost: The laser contracts collagen fibers instantly and triggers new collagen production over 3–6 months for ongoing improvement.
Single-session treatment: Most people are in and out within an hour — no operating room, no general anesthesia, no extended downtime.
Fat reduction + skin firming: Endolift melts small fat pockets (like under the chin or around the belly) while tightening skin for a slimmer, more sculpted appearance.
High satisfaction rates: In clinical studies, not a single patient reported being dissatisfied. The results get better over time, with natural-looking contouring.
No scars or incisions: It’s often called a “non-surgical facelift” for a reason — you get noticeable lift without any cutting, scarring, or risk of general anesthesia.
Custom-tailored by Dr. Yu: Every treatment at Beauty Cult is personalized. Dr. Clara Yu adjusts laser placement and energy levels to suit your facial anatomy and goals.
Perfect for combo treatments: Want even more dramatic results? Endolift can be paired with dermal fillers or PDO threads for a full-face refresh.
If you’re looking for a lift without the knife, Endolift is one of the best options available — and Beauty Cult in Redondo Beach delivers it with precision, personalization, and real aesthetic artistry.

What to Expect During and After
On treatment day, you’ll be comfortably settled in our office. The provider will cleanse the area and apply local numbing to keep you comfortable. A tiny incision is made by a needle and a thin laser fiber is inserted just under the skin. Once in place, the Endolift laser delivers energy through the fiber under direct visualization. This lets us precisely heat the exact depth we want. You may feel some warmth or tightness, but most patients report only very low discomfort (about 1–2 on a pain scale) thanks to the numbing.
Right after Endolift, expect some redness or puffiness – similar to a mild sunburn. Your provider will clean the tiny entry points; these usually close on their own within 1–2 days. You’ll notice swelling and possibly bruising for a few days, especially in sensitive areas. For example, if the lower eyelids were treated, you might have eye puffiness for roughly a week. Otherwise, discomfort is typically minor; nearly everyone reports no real pain afterward.
After your session, we’ll give you detailed aftercare instructions. This usually includes applying a healing ointment or antibiotic cream to any entry sites, and using arnica gel (or bromelain supplements) on bruises to speed recovery. Cold compresses the first day help manage swelling. Over the next 3–5 days, avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, very hot showers/saunas and very salty foods – these can all worsen swelling. You may also take OTC pain relievers like Tylenol or ibuprofen if you feel any soreness; it’s fine to use them as needed for comfort. In general, treat the area gently – use a mild cleanser and moisturizer, and avoid direct sun exposure while you heal.
Bonus Tip: It’s wise to sleep with your head elevated for a few nights to help fluid drain from your face. For example, propping up one or two pillows can keep fluid from pooling in your cheeks and eyes. Avoid pressing your face into the pillow and don’t sleep on your stomach.
If you have other cosmetic treatments planned (like lasers, chemical peels, or microneedling), talk to us about timing: it’s usually best to give the Endolift-treated skin at least 1–2 weeks to fully heal before you resume them. Likewise, hold off on makeup for about 24 hours if possible, or use very gentle coverage at first. Our team is here to advise you through every step of recovery.
Endolift Healing Tips
Follow aftercare instructions: Use all prescribed ointments or creams. Arnica gel or supplements (like bromelain) can help bruises clear faster. Keep the area clean and protected, and use sunscreen daily on treated skin.
Ice and rest: In the first 24–48 hours, apply cold packs in 10–15 minute intervals to reduce swelling. Get extra rest and stay hydrated so your body can heal.
Avoid exercise: Skip workouts, heavy lifting, and activities involving heat (like saunas or hot yoga) for about a week. These can increase swelling and delay healing.
Avoid alcohol: Alcohol can dilate blood vessels and increase inflammation or bruising. Give your body a few days without it to heal properly.
Watch your salt intake: Try to limit salty snacks and high-sodium meals during the first few days. Excess salt can cause water retention and make swelling worse.
Elevate and hydrate: Sleep with your head slightly elevated to help reduce facial puffiness. Drink plenty of water and eat protein-rich foods to support collagen production and tissue repair.
Gentle massage: A couple of days post-treatment, start light massage to support lymphatic drainage. Go downward for the face/neck area, or toward the heart for body areas. Check with us first to learn the right technique.
Skin care and sun protection: Once the skin has calmed, go back to your usual gentle skincare routine. And don’t skip the SPF — new collagen is extra sensitive to sun damage.
