Selling sunshine from Seattle: Solius raises $23M to launch new at-home light-therapy device

The Solius Pro hangs on a wall, scans a user’s skin and directs appropriate UVB light therapy. (Solius Photo) A Seattle-area startup that once asked people to step inside a glowing kiosk for light therapy is now bringing that same technology into the home. Bainbridge Island, Wash.-based Solius Labs announced $23 million in Series A funding on Wednesday along with the launch of the Solius Pro : a $2,995 UVB (Ultraviolet B) light therapy device for home and professional use.
