Meet Lora
My dream has always been to open my own business. At the ripe young age of 53 I have done just that. With my two teenagers starting to find their own paths in the world, my moment arrived to focus on what I feel genuine passion for...laser skincare. I dabbled with laser treatments with my dermatologist but was told there were limitations. (You mean I can remove the age spots on my face, but not my hands?!) I found a way around these limitations…and Lumina Skin was born. The machines I have invested in are truly curated to range from the delicious to the intense, all with real data, science and proven results. My goal is to live lightly and embrace who I am and how I look. It's about time. Laser treatments have helped me do that. My skin is changed...and still changing! But it’s also changed me in more important ways, on the inside. And I feel it's healthy to build my own collagen, to use my natural resources!
