Pharmaceutical Studies

Sadick Research Group has extensive experience conducting clinical trials for topical, oral, and biologic dermatologic therapies across a wide range of conditions — including acne, rosacea, melasma, onychomycosis, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and more. Our trials adhere to FDA and international regulatory standards, assessing both cutaneous and systemic safety parameters such as ECGs, clinical chemistry, absorption, histologic, and immunohistochemical effects.

Cosmeceutical Studies

We provide comprehensive tolerability and efficacy testing for cosmetic and cosmeceutical products, supporting both regulatory compliance and evidence-based marketing claims. Assessments include standardized photography, biophysical measurements, and participant self-evaluations, complemented by soft-factor analyses (e.g., scent, texture, sensory satisfaction) relevant for product success.

Medical Device Studies

As one of the world’s leading centers for medical device research, Sadick Research Group partners with Sadick Dermatology, a premier dermatology practice in New York’s Upper East Side.
Our founder, Dr. Neil Sadick, is internationally regarded for his pioneering work in skin rejuvenation, energy-based devices, injectables, and body-sculpting technologies.
We conduct device trials utilizing internationally recognized methodologies and rigorous clinical oversight at every phase.
