Workshop #3: Reducing Inflammation and Pigmentation & Unveiling New Skincare Solutions with Dr Tiina Meder

Sponsored by Meder Beauty We hope you will join us for our upcoming workshop, "Reducing Inflammation and Pigmentation + Exciting New Professional Product Launch," where we're privileged to have Dr. Tiina Meder as the distinguished presenter. Here's a sneak peek to get you in the loop before the event.

Dr. Tiina Meder is a renowned expert in the field of aesthetic medicine and skincare solutions, and her wealth of knowledge in this area is truly exceptional. With numerous accolades and years of experience, Dr. Meder has made significant contributions to the world of skincare and is a recognised authority in the industry.

Pigmentation is a concern that's close to the hearts of many in the realm of aesthetic medicine, and it affects a remarkably broad range of individuals in our diverse population. People of all ages and genders grapple with pigmentation issues, and despite the array of treatments available, the success rates can be somewhat disheartening. Various internal and external factors play a pivotal role in determining the effectiveness of lightening treatments. Among these factors are the intensity of ultraviolet rays during different seasons, the patient's commitment to sunscreen use, and their overall health.

Traditionally, the most effective skincare solutions for lightening pigmentation have been known to cause photosensitivity and skin irritation. However, thanks to advances in modern science, we're now poised to do better. We're excited to introduce a new generation of lightening skincare that not only targets pigmentation but also addresses inflammation, reducing skin irritation and discomfort.

To unearth these innovative solutions, we've delved into extensive research on pigmentation, exploring new angles that address the molecular mechanisms behind pigment formation during different life stages, including critical periods like pregnancy, breastfeeding, and menopause.

Dr. Tiina Meder, with her expert insights, will guide us through this groundbreaking research. We're eager to share our latest findings and discoveries with workshop participants, and we're especially thrilled to be the first in the world to unveil the groundbreaking all-season Meder Lightening skincare exclusively to ABIC members.

Join us for this enlightening workshop, where Dr Tiina Meder will lead the way in exploring the future of skincare solutions and revealing our groundbreaking product.

Get ready for an exciting and informative session!

JODIE FISHER RN In 2018, Jodie Fisher embarked on a courageous journey by leaving her 20year nursing career in a hospital and launching a cosmetic injectable skin and beauty clinic. Initially, she rented rooms twice a week at various salons to kickstart her new venture. Building a loyal clientele base took a year of dedicated effort.

In the early stages, the clinic primarily offered services such as cosmetic injectables, skin needling, facials, lash treatments, and waxing. Despite the limited range of services, the clinic managed to achieve a remarkable turnover of $300k within the first 12 months.

Listening attentively to clients' questions and concerns during this period, Jodie recognized the need to introduce an energy-based device to address pigmentation issues and other concerns effectively. She then successfully integrated this new treatment modality into her aesthetic clinic. This strategic move not only bolstered the clinic's credibility but also doubled its revenue in the following year, making it a trusted destination for cosmetic skin and beauty treatments.

ASHA DAKIN EEN & Dermal Therapist Asha Dakin has always aspired to become a nurse and pursue a career as a cosmetic nurse injector. Her journey began with the pursuit of a diploma in beauty immediately after high school. In the subsequent year, she furthered her education by completing a diploma in nursing, which led her to become an Enrolled Endorsed Nurse (EEN).

Over the past 2 years, she has immersed herself in her role, displaying an insatiable thirst for knowledge. Her dedication is evident through her engagement in various educational avenues, including podcasts, online tutorials, industry conferences and seminars and a completion of online Galderma training whilst also closely observing and shadowing Nurse Jodie.

She has also honed her skills in advanced medical grade skin treatments, utilising cutting-edge technologies such as the Nordlys™ and Matrix™ devices. The ability to apply her acquired knowledge bring her immense excitement, and she takes great pride in treating and transforming her patients’ skin, aiming to enhance their overall well-being.

DR TIINA MEDER Dermatologist & Founder of Meder Beauty Dr. Tiina Meder began her career as a cardiologist before transitioning into the field of dermatology, which she considers the most complex area of medicine due to its numerous diagnostic possibilities related to human skin.

Dr. Meder's academic approach helped her gain recognition in the field, and in 2009, she founded Meder Beauty Science, frustrated with the limitations of traditional skincare products. Nowadays, Dr. Meder devotes most of her time to managing Meder Beauty, an international company with distribution partners in over 30 countries.
