In this episode of Esthetician Edit, we welcome Dr. Tiina Meder, founder of Meder Beauty, for a conversation that bridges dermatology, microbiome science, and non-toxic anti-aging innovation. Dr. Meder — a dermatologist turned skincare entrepreneur — launched her brand to fill a gap in the industry: high-performance treatments grounded in safety, with no compromise on efficacy. Meder Beauty is built around the concept of skin as an ecosystem. That means formulas that support the microbiome, avoid harsh or irritating ingredients, and are inclusive of all skin types — even sensitive, pregnant, or menopausal skin. If you’ve ever wanted to see big transformations — smoothing fine lines, relaxing expression wrinkles, revealing a more lifted, glowing complexion — without needles or harsh toxics — this episode is for you.https://mederbeauty.com/
