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.
Joaninha Barbosa, Director of Research and her study coordinator Mannu Kuriakose can be reached at (617) 731-1600 ext 1625. There are also two 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.
We are currently enrolling volunteers for the following studies:
Nasolabial fold study
We are doing this study to evaluate the effectiveness of filler injections on the nasolabial folds (smile lines).
Midface Cheek Study
Facial volume loss happens over time by breaking down proteins in your skin and our youthful balance changes. We are conducting a study for the midface cheek region.
Time and travel compensation is available for this study.
Lip Filler Research Project
We are conducting a study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a new dermal filler device (gel injected into the lips) for lip augmentation and correction of perioral rhytids (wrinkles around the lips). Compensation for time and travel is provided & treatment is covered by the study. Check out if you qualify
