Experience

Dr. McDaniel has consulted on the design, as well as executed, many FDA product or device trials that resulted in clearances. In fact, the first FDA cleared LED device was invented, designed and tested by Dr. McDaniel and his team. Over the last 20+ years, the team has assisted small start up, and large multinational companies in the design, preparation, and submission of both FDA and IRB reviewed cosmetic studies. Dr. McDaniel has also been a prolific lecturer and industry analyst/touchstone for a large portion of the beauty industries lay press and scientific journals.
