STRATA Skin Sciences Announces U.S. Commercial Launch of TheraClear®X Acne Therapy System

HORSHAM, Pa., July 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: SSKN), a medical technology company dedicated to developing, commercializing and marketing innovative products for the treatment of dermatologic conditions, today announced the U.S. commercial launch of TheraClear^®X, a non-invasive, in-office acne treatment targeting the root causes of mild to moderate acne, including comedonal, pustular and inflammatory acne vulgaris.

“We’re delighted to have reached this milestone in bringing TheraClearX to the U.S. market. We are confident that this technology will offer an exciting new treatment option for acne patients and dermatology professionals, as well as deliver an exciting new growth opportunity for STRATA,” said CEO Bob Moccia. “We are especially excited to now offer an acne treatment through STRATA’s well established “Partnership Program” which offers dermatology practices in the U.S. practical in-office treatment solutions without the need to purchase expensive equipment.”

The TheraClearX Acne Therapy System is engineered and indicated specifically for the treatment of acne. By combining vacuum technology and intense broadband light (500nm-1200nm), TheraClearX shows significant promise in the fight against acne. For best results, it is recommended patients complete 4-6 treatment sessions (scheduled 1-2 weeks apart), dependent on acne severity. Treatments can be completed in 15-20 minutes and are pain-free.

“TheraClearX’s photopneumatic technology, combining vacuum extraction with light therapy, is a proven technology with scientifically published evidence of success in treating acne. TheraClearX helps us simultaneously address multiple treatment goals. For example, removing and clearing acne-causing bacteria, clearing out occluded pores and reducing sebum production can all be achieved with this device,” said Gilly S. Munavalli, MD, MHS, FACMS, Medical Director and founder of Dermatology, Laser & Vein Specialists of the Carolinas in Charlotte, NC. “We have had the opportunity to treat a sizeable number of patients with this technology over an extended period of time and consider this to be amongst the most effective medical devices available to treat and resolve acne.”

STRATA is leveraging its national salesforce and commercial team to bring TheraClearX to the U.S. market, while currently exploring strategic partners internationally.
