Quick Answer
The LUMI Photo Facial is a light-based skin-renewal treatment that uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to target pigmentation, redness, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. It is suited for adults seeking non-invasive correction of visible skin concerns. The device delivers broad-spectrum light pulses that selectively break down melanin and reduce vascular irregularities. At ID Cosmetic Clinic in Markham and Toronto, the LUMI Photo Facial is personally performed by Dr. Dan Xu, M.D., CCFP. Most clients require a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart, with gradual improvement visible over the treatment course.
