1. A treatment for hair loss in Skin of Color patients using the Folix laser system
- We are recruiting male and female patients between 21 – 55 years of age with Fitzpatrick skin types 5 & 6 who are seeking treatment for hair loss and hair thinning. Since this treatment has been FDA-approved to safely and effectively improve hair loss in skin types 1 – 4, this study’s purpose is to confirm these results in subjects with darker skin types (5 – 6) who have not used other hair growth treatments in the past 90 days. After confirming qualification at the screening visit, participants will receive 4 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart, and will return for follow-up visits 1 month and 3 months post their last treatment to assess the results (total: 7 visits). You will be compensated $75 for visit and $100 for each follow-up visit, for a total of $575 upon study completion.
2. Aviclear laser treatment for mild-to-severe acne on the face and back
- We are looking for participants with mild-to-severe acne on the face and/ or back to receive 3 monthly treatments with the Aviclear® laser. As the laser has already been shown to be safe and effective for treating mild to severe inflammatory acne vulgaris, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of the large handpiece and assess user experience. To participate, you must be at least 18 years old with mild-to-severe acne on the face and/ or back. If you are interested in participating or would like more information, please contact our research team to see if you may qualify.
3. Investigational oral drug for female pattern hair loss
- This clinical trial is studying a new investigational oral tablet aimed at restoring hair, without the development of hormonal or heart-related side effects. If you’re a woman aged 18-65 experiencing pattern hair loss, you may qualify. There is no cost to you to participate, and insurance is not required.
