— 03 / Why Choose ID —
Physician-Designed Care — Not Machine-Driven Treatments
In experienced hands, the same device can be used very differently — the settings, the protocol and the clinical judgment behind it matter as much as the machine itself. We treat device, protocol, physician judgment and long-term management as one integrated system, with every plan designed and delivered by Dr. Xu.
01
Physician-Led Diagnosis
Every client is assessed in person by Dr. Xu herself: Wood's lamp analysis, dermoscopy, and Fitzpatrick skin typing. This is a full treatment-planning consultation — not a sales pitch.
02
Deep Expertise in Asian Skin
We specialize in Asian skin care and facial contour across 5,000 clients · 80,000 treatment areas (Fitzpatrick III–V). Energy parameters and protocol timelines are fully recalibrated for Asian skin physiology.
03
Multi-Device Combination Capability
PicoSure Pro / PicoWay / BBL HEROic / Sofwave / Vbeam — all under one roof. We are never limited to a single device; we combine modalities based on your specific needs.
04
Long-Term Management, Not One-and-Done
Chronic conditions — melasma, acne, aging — require structured protocols, maintenance, and follow-up. We design 12–24 month treatment timelines, not single-session fixes.

— 08 / Our Clinical Model —
Physician-Led Medical Aesthetics Fundamentally Different from a Typical Medspa
Medical Aesthetics ≠ Spa
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.
Physician Consultation — Not a sales consultation; assessed in person by Dr. Xu herself
Individualized Protocols — Not packages; customized based on pigmentation type, Fitzpatrick skin type, and medical history
Physician Oversight Throughout — All laser and injectable treatments are performed or directly supervised by the physician

Aesthetic Education Centre Patient Education Content Library
Understanding your treatment means making the right decision. We have organized five content categories to ensure you arrive at your consultation fully informed.
✦
Clinical Q&A
Real Clinical Q&A · Pre & Post-Treatment Questions Answered
We recommend bringing: ① Photos or records of any previous treatments ② A list of your current skincare products and/or prescription medications ③ Your allergy history and contraceptive or pregnancy history. Dr. Xu will take clinical photographs, perform a Wood's lamp analysis, and complete your Fitzpatrick skin typing. The full consultation is complimentary and takes 30 minutes.
How soon after my consultation can I start treatment?
It depends on the treatment type. Injectable treatments (Botox / dermal fillers) can often be performed on the same day as your consultation. Laser treatments that require pre-conditioning (Cyspera / sun protection / stopping retinoids) typically begin 2–6 weeks later. Dr. Xu will provide you with a complete timeline.
How much does treatment cost? Is it covered by OHIP?
Pricing varies depending on treatment type, package, and combination plans. Single laser sessions generally range from CAD $300–600; injectables are priced per unit; combination packages are offered at a discount. OHIP does not cover cosmetic procedures. We accept HSA, Beautifi, and Medicard financing. Eligible medical expenses may qualify for a tax credit under CRA Line 33099.
What happens if a treatment isn't right for me?
If a treatment is not appropriate for you, Dr. Xu will tell you directly and recommend an alternative or refer you to the appropriate specialist. We never pressure clients. A complimentary consultation carries no treatment commitment.
Does the clinic offer services in Mandarin or Cantonese?
Yes. Dr. Xu is fully bilingual in English and Mandarin Chinese. Our team covers Mandarin, Cantonese, English, and Korean. All contracts, informed consent forms, and treatment records are available in both English and Chinese.
I had a treatment at another clinic that went wrong. Can you help correct it?
Aesthetic revision is one of Dr. Xu's core areas of expertise. She has managed 8,000+ complex revision cases, including filler migration, filler nodule formation, post-laser hyperpigmentation (PIH), and pigmentation worsening caused by incorrect laser protocols. An in-person consultation is required to assess your specific situation and develop a corrective treatment plan.
