Activity highlights
Partnered with Aspen Laser founders to launch Lucium, LLC to commercialize patented high-refractive-index optical clearing topicals for therapeutic light applications.

LUCI Therapeutics is a biotechnology and materials science company specializing in high-refractive-index topicals designed to optimize light and laser therapies. The company’s patented and patent-pending technology works by optically clearing the stratum corneum, which reduces light scatter and enables deeper penetration of light into tissues. This approach is engineered to enhance the efficacy of photobiomodulation, laser, and IPL treatments across a wide range of applications, including skincare, musculoskeletal pain management, body contouring, and aesthetic procedures. By temporarily matching the refractive index of the skin, the products help ensure consistent delivery of light energy for patients of all skin tones, including those with tattoos.

The company's innovations provide significant utility for professional clinicians and at-home users seeking more effective light-based therapeutic outcomes. By clearing the skin surface to minimize energy loss, LUCI Therapeutics’ formulas aim to improve results for procedures such as hair removal, scalp care, and ocular health. The technology has been validated through collaborative development with industry partners in the laser and light-therapy sectors, as evidenced by its integration into professional treatment lines. LUCI Therapeutics continues to advance the science of light-tissue interaction, focusing on improving the safety and dosing efficiency of light therapies.
