About Meditherapy

Meditherapy, established in August 2017, operates as a home-esthetic beauty brand, providing consumers with a fusion of beauty and technology for skincare. The company was co-founded by Joey Seungjin Lee and Lee Hyun-seok, who serve as co-CEOs. Before founding Meditherapy, Lee Hyun-seok worked at Hyundai Steel, and Joey Seungjin Lee was with Samsung Electronics, bringing their engineering backgrounds to the beauty industry. Their journey began with the realization of a significant market demand for healing and health-focused products.

The company, initially named Muzel Co., Ltd., rebranded to Meditherapy in February 2020. A notable achievement was reaching a turnover of 12 billion won in its first year of brand launch, starting from a capital of 20 million won. By 2023, the company's cumulative sales had surpassed 200 billion won. In April 2024, Meditherapy secured $19.2 million in a Series A funding round led by Company K Partners, with participation from DSC Investment and Korea Investment Partners.

Meditherapy's business model is centered around its e-commerce platform, which offers a comprehensive range of skincare products directly to consumers. The company targets beauty-conscious individuals looking for professional-quality skincare results at home. Its product line is extensive, including serums, creams, masks, patches, and specialized skincare devices that utilize technologies like EMS, microcurrent, and vibration. The products are formulated to address various skin concerns such as wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven skin tone, using a combination of cutting-edge technology and natural ingredients. For instance, their offerings include the popular "Soksal Gua Sha," a ceramic massage tool, and the "Derma Relax Healing Patch. Revenue is generated through the online sale of these products via its own website and other e-commerce channels, including expansion into offline stores like Olive Young.

Headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, Meditherapy has expanded its presence globally with operations in North America, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia. The company emphasizes direct communication with its customers, leveraging mobile content and social media to understand consumer needs and market trends.
