FOUNDER · MANAGING DIRECTOR · PREMIER LASER SPECIALIST

Luwyna Li

30+ years of medical laser and skin specialist experience

English, Mandarin Burnaby and Richmond


Luwyna Li is the Founder and Managing Director of BioPlus International Laser & Skin Clinic, and the clinic's premier laser specialist. She founded Bioscor International Hair and Skin Clinic in 1996, serving the Lower Mainland for nearly three decades before expanding to Richmond in 2022 as Bio-International Laser Clinic. In 2024, the clinics merged and were renamed BioPlus International Laser & Skin Clinic.

Luwyna was the first laser specialist in British Columbia to introduce Fotona Q-Switched laser systems and Cynosure PicoSure technology, bringing next-generation pigmentation treatment solutions to the Vancouver market. Many of the advanced technologies now common across Vancouver's aesthetic industry first arrived in the province through her clinic.

Her core clinical specialisation is the treatment of skin discolouration, particularly melasma and complex pigmentation disorders. Her approach integrates advanced laser platforms with customised protocols tailored to each patient's condition, skin type, and long-term outcomes.

With more than 30 years of hands-on laser experience, Luwyna has built a substantial waitlist of patients who specifically book with her. Her clinical judgment in laser selection, parameter optimisation, and treatment protocol design comes from decades of treating thousands of patients across diverse skin types and virtually every laser platform on the market.

Today, she continues to lead BioPlus with a focus on innovation, ethical practice, and personalised care.
