ID Cosmetic Clinic is a physician-led cosmetic clinic in Toronto, serving clients across the GTA since 2017. Every treatment plan starts with an in-person assessment by Dr. Dan Xu, MD, CCFP, practising in medical aesthetics. With more than 80,000 treatments performed, our work spans injectables, laser and pigmentation care, skin tightening and body treatments, with particular depth in Asian skin and facial structure.

Results in medical aesthetics depend on three things working together: the device, the treatment protocol and the physician's judgment. At ID Cosmetic Clinic, Dr. Xu designs and oversees all three for every client. The device sets what's possible. The physician sets the direction.
Every plan begins with an in-person assessment by Dr. Xu. She uses Wood's lamp examination, dermoscopy and Fitzpatrick skin typing to understand what is happening below the surface before recommending any treatment.
Most of our clients have Fitzpatrick III to V skin, which is more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) after laser and energy treatments. Settings are adjusted for each skin type, and PIH risk is assessed and tracked at every visit.
PicoSure Pro, PicoWay, BBL HEROic, Sofwave and Vbeam Perfecta are all available in one clinic. That lets the plan follow the diagnosis, combining devices when one alone isn't the right answer.
A long-term plan, not a one-off Melasma, acne and ageing need structure. We map 12–24 month plans with maintenance and follow-up built in.
Most patients search by symptom — not by treatment name. We have organized 82 common skin and facial concerns, each mapped to a physician-customized treatment pathway.
These photos come straight from our clinical records. Every client shown gave written consent to share their results, and no image has been edited. Your own results will depend on your skin, your goals and your plan — Dr. Xu will talk you through realistic expectations at your consultation.
A typical medspa operates on an "esthetician + device" model — clients walk in and receive package-based machine treatments. We are a physician-led medical aesthetic clinic — every treatment begins with a physician's diagnosis.

A clinic with one or two lasers tends to treat everyone the same way. We have four core laser platforms and more than a dozen energy devices, so our doctor can choose and combine the technology that suits your pigment type, skin type and goals.
Our core device combinations, organized by concern. Every device carries dual North American regulatory approval and has been recalibrated by Dr. Xu for Asian skin energy protocols.
Dr. Xu and our team of senior certified nurses — every treatment is carried out under the same aesthetic and safety standard. Whoever you see on our team, you receive the ID Aesthetic Standard.
Most beauty standards in aesthetic medicine were built around Western faces. In Timeless Asian Beauty, Dr. Xu sets out a different framework, one based on the bone structure, ageing pattern and skin qualities of Asian faces so treatment enhances what's already there.
Skeletal anatomy and contouring principles specific to Asian faces
The unique aging pathway of Asian individuals and optimal intervention timing
Principles of pigmentation treatment for Fitzpatrick III–V skin types
Diagnostic logic and corrective pathways for failed aesthetic treatments
Who it's for: Anyone who wants natural-looking enhancement · Aesthetic practitioners · Readers curious about Asian facial features

Understanding your treatment means making the right decision. We have organized five content categories to ensure you arrive at your consultation fully informed.
Photos or notes from any past cosmetic treatments, a list of the skincare and medications you use, and details of allergies or pregnancy. Dr. Xu will take clinical photos, check your skin under a Wood's lamp and determine your skin type. The 30-minute consultation is free.
Often, yes. Botox and fillers can usually be done the same day. Some laser treatments need two to six weeks of preparation first — for example sun protection, a pigment-calming cream or pausing retinoids. Dr. Xu will give you a clear timeline.
Prices depend on the treatment and the number of sessions. A single laser session is typically $300–$600 CAD; injectables are priced per unit or syringe; combined plans cost less overall. OHIP does not cover cosmetic procedures. We accept HSA and offer financing through Beautifi and Medicard.
Dr. Xu will tell you honestly and suggest a better option or refer you to the right specialist. Your consultation comes with no obligation and no pressure to book.
Yes. Our team speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese, and consent forms and treatment records are available in English and Chinese.
Yes — correcting previous work is one of Dr. Xu's specialities, with more than 8,000 revision cases. She treats migrated or lumpy filler, overfilled faces and pigment made worse by the wrong laser. An in-person assessment is needed to plan your correction.
In 30 minutes, Dr. Xu will assess your skin, explain your options and map out a personal plan. There's no pressure and no commitment — and if a treatment isn't right for you, she'll say so.
Every consultation is conducted personally by Dr. Xu (Mon–Sat).
