    LAKE FOREST, California, November 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Photo Therapeutics
Limited, a global developer, manufacturer and seller of FDA approved,

trial programme. Also housed within this Orange County facility will be

    "The Omnilux(TM) customer base has been growing in the United States
since June 2003 when we received our first FDA approval for the treatment of
acne with Omnilux(TM) Blue", said Sue D'Arcy, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Photo Therapeutics, Inc. "To date, we have worked in the USA
through partner companies but have now judged that the time is right for a
direct presence in this, the largest market in the world for medical and
aesthetic devices."
    "The Omnilux(TM) platform enables our customers to enter the world of
therapeutic light devices with a clinically proven, safe and cost effective
technology that will never become obsolete" added Dr Colin Whitehurst,
Director of Research and Development for Photo Therapeutics. "Our global
clinical trial programme enables us to offer treatment protocols that have
been optimised for a growing number of applications, and effective on all
skin types. Omnilux(TM) is delivering highly effective, pain-free outcomes
for patients seeking treatment for acne, skin rejuvenation, psoriasis, wound
healing, non-melanoma skin cancer and many more conditions, with a pipeline
of therapies currently undergoing clinical trials in the USA, UK, Australia,
France, Japan and Korea."
    "The acceptance of Omnilux(TM) by both practitioners and patients is
growing rapidly," continued D'Arcy "and by concentrating on the development
of our business in the US market we will further influence those
practitioners in the rest of the world who seek to emulate the best practice
within the USA."
