(Hong Kong, 2013-01-13)

Hong Kong – Quantum Bio-Medicals Ltd. announced today of the new launch of the photo therapeutic medical garment: “QBM Sunsoul” into the Hong Kong and Southern China Regional market today. This product is licensed and approved by the Canadian Health Authority (FDA equivalent) after the successful clinical trials carried out in Canada, New Zeland, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The QBM Sunsoul technology filters common light into narrow bands of photo-therapeutic wavelengths (400 nm – 450 nm range as “Blumod” and 500nm – 600 nm range as “Yelomod”).

400 nm – 450 nm range “Blumod” for Acne and Eczema

The Technology

Studies has shown that the common cause for Acne Vulgaris is Gram-Positive bacteria, especially cocci[i]. Atopic Dermatitis (Atopic Eczema) symptoms are also largely incubated by Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).[ii] According to a research conducted by the University of Strathclyde (U.K.), it is proven that light range of 400 nm – 450 nm is effective to kill and control Gram-positive bacteria including MRSA.[iii] Furthermore, a study conducted by the Johannes Gutenberg University (Germany) has shown this technology is proven to be extremely effective to relief Atopic Dermatitis (Atopic Eczema) symptoms with the EASI score improvement of 41% and 54% (after 3 / 6 months).[iv]

Our solution

QBM Blumod is a patent technology which allows the selective transmittance of 400 nm – 450 nm light without the health risks posed by UV (98.18% blockage of UVA and 97.78% blockage of UVB).[v] Clinical trials has confirm that there was 65% average improvement in lesion counts with 85% patients who has at least 50% average improvements by using Blumod [with at least 2 hours a week of outdoor exposure within 10AM to 4AM for 2 months in New Zealand and Australia]. It is recommended the patient is to use Blumod for at least 1-2 hours a day for 2 weeks non-stop for optimal noticeable effects.

500 nm – 600 nm range “Blumod” for Acne and Eczema

The Technology

Vascular lesions and Pigmented lesions of skin are clinical treated successfully with 577 nm[ix] and 510 nm[x] lights. Current photo therapy treatment for these lesions are usually with laser and intense pulse light (IPL) technologies, which are very limited in the area of application.

Our solution

QBM Yelomod is a patent technology which allows the selective transmittance of 500 nm – 600 nm light without the health risks posed by UV (98.18% blockage of UVA and 97.78% blockage of UVB).[xi]  Clinical trials has confirm that there was a total of 24.7% discoloration and 21.5% overall skin quality when tested with QBM Yelomod (40mW/cm², 1hour per week for 8 weeks). QBM Yelomod does not allow IPL treatment of the patient’s skin, it also provides a supreme anti-UV barrier to avoid aging skin with up to 240.9 UPF rating (third party laboratory tested), where most other UPF50+ rated products can only pass this standard marginally.
