Parallel Health's Innovative Approach to Skin Health

Parallel Health is at the forefront of Microbiome Dermatology™, a groundbreaking approach to skin health that focuses on maintaining and restoring the natural balance of the skin microbiome—a complex ecosystem of bacteria, fungi, and viruses that play a crucial role in skin health. Parallel Health's flagship offering, the MD-03 Phage Protocol™, is a personalized plan that includes a Skin Microbiome Discovery Test, which uses whole genome sequencing to understand each individual's microbial ecosystem. Based on this data, custom phage serums are provided that precisely target pathogenic bacteria, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria and supporting skin longevity by reducing inflammation.

Phage therapy, the cornerstone of Parallel Health’s innovative solutions, involves the use of bacteriophages—small microbes that selectively target and destroy bacteria. This method of biocontrol is highly specific, affecting only targeted bacteria while leaving beneficial microbes intact. Phages are a natural component of the human microbiome and have been studied extensively for their therapeutic potential, particularly in fighting antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. Parallel Health harnesses this natural power to offer targeted, effective, and safe skin health solutions.

Combatting Antimicrobial Resistance

Dermatologists are among the leading prescribers of antibiotics, making Dr. Soon’s appointment a strategic move for Parallel Health as it aligns with the company’s mission to provide cutting-edge alternatives to traditional treatments. Parallel Health’s technology has the potential to revolutionize skin health and combat one of the most significant challenges in modern medicine – antimicrobial resistance. By leveraging phage therapy, Parallel Health aims to provide solutions that are not only effective for skin health but also critical in the global fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This innovative approach could save millions of lives in the near future by offering an alternative to traditional antibiotics, which are becoming increasingly ineffective against resistant strains.

"At Parallel Health, we use next-generation microbiome and phage technology to advance dermatology and improve health outcomes for all. With personalized testing and custom phages, we’re empowering people to live in their best skin," said Natalise Kalea Robinson, CEO of Parallel Health. "Bringing in Dr. Seaver Soon is a testament to our dedication to scientific excellence and our vision of creating a healthier future through cutting-edge innovation and collaboration."

Dr. Seaver Soon added, "I am honored to join Parallel Health and contribute to its mission of advancing microbiome-based skin health solutions. The potential of phage therapy to combat antibacterial resistance and improve skin health is immense, and I am excited to be part of this groundbreaking journey."

Commitment to Scientific Excellence and Patient-Centric Care

Parallel Health is committed to leading the application of phage therapy to skin health, addressing a wide range of dermatological conditions by managing bacterial populations that contribute to these issues. The company's dedication to innovative, research-backed solutions positions it as a leader in the next generation of precision skin health. Dr. Soon will join a powerhouse team of current world-class dermatologists on Parallel Health’s advisory board, further enhancing the company’s ability to deliver groundbreaking skin health solutions. His addition to the advisory board is a significant milestone for Parallel Health, reflecting the company’s ongoing commitment to scientific excellence and patient-centric care.
