JOYA Health, a skincare and wellness benefit platform, has emerged from stealth with $5 million in seed funding to accelerate product development, support team expansion, fuel growth, and increase access to providers.
Founded in 2022 by Michael Jafar, the company has developed the first and only preventive skincare and wellness platform to help employees improve their health, mood, and confidence.
The platform allows users to access a wide range of personalized skincare solutions, preventive screenings, and educational resources. These tools enable healthcare providers to help patients prevent life-threatening skin illnesses such as skin cancer by prioritizing their well-being.
JOYA’s seed financing round was spearheaded by LUX Capital, Arsama Trust, Joyance Partners, and Mosaic General Partnership.
Tackling Long-standing Barriers to Skin Health Using
Currently valued at $30 billion, the skin health and wellness market continues to grow exponentially every year, and access to affordable skin health screening for diseases such as skin cancer and personalized care still remains a major challenge for the US health systems.
However, JOYA is working to bridge the gap with its innovative platform, which connects employees with an extensive network of thoroughly vetted skin health experts, allowing them to access preventive skin cancer screening and personalized treatments.
JOYA’s integrated approach to skincare helps address the growing demand for healthy, youthful skin at affordable prices.
