HEUKING advises MedTech start-up SkinLove on seed round

Bochum — Skin­Love Ruhr GmbH, an inno­va­tive MedTech start-up from Bochum, has successfully comple­ted a seed finan­cing round.
The company was able to raise a mid-six-figure invest­ment, which will be used to further deve­lop and launch its revo­lu­tio­nary skin health solutions.
Foun­ded in 2023 by Dr. Frie­de­rike Kogel­heide, Skin­Love Ruhr specia­li­zes in the deve­lo­p­ment of cutting-edge cold plasma tech­no­logy to effec­tively treat skin problems.
The company’s goal is to replace nume­rous consu­ma­ble cosme­tic products with its self-deve­­lo­­ped and German-made device.
This tech­no­logy offers an inno­va­tive and sustainable alter­na­tive to conven­tio­nal skin­care products and aims to signi­fi­cantly improve users’ skin health.
Skin­Love Ruhr successfully went through the acce­le­ra­tor program of Batch #1 of our part­ner HIGH-TECH.NRW and has recently laun­ched its product successfully on the market.
The funds raised from the seed finan­cing round will mainly be inves­ted in the further deve­lo­p­ment of the cold plasma tech­no­logy and the prepa­ra­tion of the market launch.
In addi­tion, Skin­Love Ruhr plans to expand its produc­tion capa­ci­ties and estab­lish stra­te­gic part­ner­ships in the health and cosme­tics sector.
The seed finan­cing round was legally advi­sed by a team led by Dr. Patrick Müller, part­ner at the Düssel­dorf office of the law firm HEUKING.
He was supported by Dr. Henrik Lay and Caro­line Frohn­wie­ser from Hamburg and Phil­ipp Börger from Berlin.
HEUKING regu­larly advi­ses young start-up entre­pre­neurs and supports them in all legal matters from their foun­da­tion to market entry.
