Dawn-Ross Inc.
Bringing high-precision, non-invasive, and radically affordable ultrasound technology to the detection and treatment of benign and malignant skin conditions.
Brand new application of known technology
Medical ultrasounds have been used for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes since the 1950s. Their benefits to the human body are well understood. Their biological effects continue to be studied around the world. In recent decades, ultrasound technology has been explored for the non-invasive treatment of cancer with promising results. As the research continues, we expect to see significant advancements in the clinical field over the coming years. Dawn-Ross Inc. researches the application of ultrasounds to skin treatments and diagnostics, including cancer.
“As skin cancer survivors we understand the challenges related to assessment and methods of mitigating this condition.“

The focus
At Dawn-Ross Inc. we are committed to delivering novel technology that offers high accuracy diagnostics and treatment while providing maximum comfort to skin cancer patients. The core of our research is the usage of low-intensity ultrasounds for localized treatment of aged or malignant skin cells.
Dawn-Ross’ original focus for the technology was its therapeutic applications to skin cancer. The R&D work is on-going for two applications: facial mask and handheld wand (for other parts of the body). A new R&D program is getting underway to develop a handheld wand used to detect, characterize, and diagnose a variety of skin conditions including eczema and melanoma.
