Clinical Studies Center
SkinCare Research is a division of SkinCare Physicians. Our research facility is world renowned, and through the collaborative efforts of our research group we have helped to advance the field of dermatology, skin surgery, laser and cosmetic surgery. We take great care to insure both scientific integrity and ethical conduct in all clinical trials. The Clinical Studies Center at our Boston dermatology practice is directed by Jeffrey S. Dover MD, Kenneth A. Arndt MD, Michael S. Kaminer MD, and Thomas E. Rohrer MD.
Our physicians have been performing clinical research in medical, procedural and aesthetic dermatology for over 25 years. In 2000, SkinCare Research was created to formalize these research efforts. Since its inception, we have performed over 30 studies, including investigator initiated, sponsor initiated, FDA monitored, prospective controlled, pilot and full phase III studies.
The study coordinators are Kathy Petrell, Joaninha Depina, Sarah Rizzo, Shachenika Jean and Lise Schmidt. They can be reached at (617) 848-1638. There are also three board certified dermatologists on our research staff who are fellows at SkinCare Physicians, and assist in the direction and implementation of clinical trials.
SkinCare Research follows the guidelines of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and is proud of its high standards, thorough completion of all clinical trials and research within their time lines, and our well known record of timely publication in first line medical and scientific journals.
Current Clinical Studies
We are currently enrolling for the following :
- Men skin care product study: This study is for a new men’s facial product that may help with moderate to severe sun damage. There are 4 study visits over a 12-week period. Men must be between the ages of 26 and 65, shave at least 4 times a week, and be willing to use the study’s facial products.
- Abdominal Fat Reduction Study – Participants must be within 18-65 years of age with a BMI less than 30. The study includes a total of 6 visits (4 treatments with 1 week intervals, and follow-up appointments 4 and 12 weeks after last treatment). It’s a non-invasive heating treatment, done by a professional with a handheld device.
If you or someone you know are interested, and may qualify for one of these studies, please contact SkinCare Research at 617-264-1822.
