Sorry, back on the soapbox for a few more words...Diathermy machines operated at 27.12 MHz and thereabouts,
middle of the class D citizens band. I once saw a medical device
rated at "50,000,000 Cycles", the 6M ham band, but that could
have been before we got 6M, which, btw, is why there is no channel
1 on your tv.

Eyeballs and testicles have no heat receptors, so no telling what
part of you will explode if you overdo it.
AS for ozone and UV... what bureaucrat would pass up a chance to
regulate that?
