Connecting Innovative Research to the Field of Dermatology
Halcyon Connexin is the research division of Halcyon Dermatology, a practice with over eight years of service in the Orange County California area serving a diverse group of patients and their associated medical and cosmetic conditions. Halcyon Connexin offers a wide range of studies to patients in order to provide them with additional opportunities for their conditions or interests that they may not otherwise have access to.
Dr. Katherine Lee is the medical director of Halcyon Connexin and works with a trained research staff to ensure studies and their participants are protected and closely monitored to ensure full compliance and the best possible outcomes. We are unique in that we work with both medical, device, and technology companies to provide high quality industry sponsored studies and our own investigator-initiated studies in order to advance the field of dermatology.
