Institute of Anti Aging Research

The Institute of Anti-Aging Research specializes in researching aging and associated diseases as well as anti-aging therapies, aging, and the role of oxidative stress in preventing aging of the skin and body. We offer a wide range of services from consulting on the design and implementation of FDA studies to basic laboratory research. We specialize in clinical digital photography and non-invasive imaging including UV and 3-D photographs and other innovative new scientific measurements. We are experienced in clinical studies for investigational drugs, devices and cosmeceuticals. Our facility is located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. We have both clinical and laboratory research facilities. Our lab is equipped for most molecular biology and immunohistochemical processes including analysis of human gene expression in both cell culture and in actual human tissue. We are experienced with growing most types of cells in monolayer and also synthetic skin equivalents for a variety of scientific testing and analysis. Our clinical research program encompasses a broad range of disciplines including skin, dermatology, and cosmetic surgery as well as in various aging and anti-aging issues. Areas of special interest and expertise include anti-oxidants, wrinkles, stretch marks, cellulite, hair growth and non-surgical anti-aging therapies. The Institute of Anti-Aging Research also specializes in researching the effects of low intensity LED light and high intensity energy sources (lasers, light, Rf, etc.) on living cells in culture and in clinical trials. Dr. McDaniel and our research team helped to develop and define the contemporary theory of LED photomodulation. Our research and clinical photography has appeared in many meetings and publications and some of this research may be viewed in Dr. McDaniel’s curriculum vitae.
