History
The Doctor, Formulator, and Researcher
Dr. Lawrence Samuels started RX Systems PF in 1996. Dr. Samuels has been using his passion and expertise in Dermatology and Cosmetic Medicine to help his patients since 1976. Dr. Samuels attended University of Texas, Austin where he obtained his Bachelors in Biology. He graduated from Washington University in Saint Louis Medical School. After completing Med School and working as a certified Dermatologist Dr. Samuels saw a hole in the hair care market. There were no good options for a hair loss repair and prevention shampoos. So he did something about it. Dr. Samuels created RX Systems PF so he could develop and test Hair Care products that he knew would work for his patients. Since then he has continued to develop new hair care products and well as a complete line of Skin Care products for conditions like Aging, Acne, Oil Control, and Dry Skin. In addition to RX Systems PF, Dr. Samuels is also the founder and medical director of Specialist in Dermatology & Cosmetic Medicine.
Dr. Samuels, a Board Certified Dermatologist who saw the need for skin and hair care products that were easy to use, affordable and effective, so that everyone could bring out his or her most “Everyday Fabulous” self. Initially, Dr. Samuels used his knowledge as a hair transplant specialist to develop pH acid balanced shampoo products that provide maximum benefits to patients with thinning hair and scalp conditions.
After seeing positive results with regular use of glycolic and medicated hair care products, Dr. Samuels began to develop the skin care products that would comprise Rx Systems PF – a complete line of pH-balanced, Glypoic Complex based products, retinols and moisturizers for the face and body.
