“Aesthetic physicians’ work is judged not only by procedural results but also by their patients’ recovery experiences,” commented Rowland Hanson, chairman of UVLrx. “Given the recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines regarding opiates in the U.S., we expect physicians to seek alternative pain management therapies such as the UVLrx™ Treatment System in order to avoid prescribing addictive and potentially fatal painkillers. Because many aggressive aesthetic procedures have required powerful opiates in the past, intravenous light therapy has the potential to mitigate this crisis and help aesthetics patients who suffer from post-procedural pain.”
Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UBI) has been used for over a century to treat bacterial and viral infections and was awarded a Nobel Prize for treating lupus in 1903. Routinely used in hospitals around the world, this form of light therapy fell out of prominence in the U.S. with the advent of antibiotics in the 1950s. With the recent expansion of drug-resistant infections, blood irradiation offers significant advantages to pharmaceutical therapies. Furthermore, UVLrx’s intravenous system is superior to existing ultraviolet blood irradiation (UBI) in that it does not require removal of blood from the body.
