Exhibit 99.1
STRATA Skin Sciences to Present Poster Showcasing Safety and Efficacy of TheraClear®X for Acne at Maui Derm 2024 Conference
HORSHAM, Pa., Jan. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc. (“STRATA” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SSKN), a medical technology company dedicated to
developing, commercializing and marketing innovative products for the treatment of dermatologic conditions, today announced that the Company will be presenting a poster titled “Pulsed Broadband Light with Vacuum Suction (Photopneumatic Therapy) and
Needle Insert to Treat Acne” at the Maui Derm 2024 Meeting to be held at the Grand Wailea in Maui, Hawaii from January 22-26, 2024.
The poster highlights the safety and efficacy of one treatment session using STRATA’s TheraClear®X technology for cystic and papular acne reduction. TheraClear®X uses
Photopneumatic technology that delivers intense pulsed light utilizing vacuum technology with an additional needle insert; the vacuum pulls the tissue into the needle, penetrating the acne lesion and thereby creating a pathway for sebum extraction.
|
● |
Majority of lesions demonstrated ≥50% clearing by 1-2 weeks, exceeding the criteria of ≥30% reduction in lesion size at two follow-up visits.
|
|
● |
An average reduction in lesion size was rated 2.0 (30-50% reduction) at 24-72 hours post-treatment and 3.5 at 1-2 weeks (≥50-75% reduction).
|
|
● |
At 1-2 weeks, the most frequently reported event was mild hyperpigmentation; erythema, edema, and flaking were observed in ≤10% of lesions.
|
“We are thrilled with our results of the clinical experience study for patients suffering from moderate to severe acne,” stated Suneel Chilukuri, MD, FAAD, FACMS,
Director of Cosmetic Surgery at Refresh Dermatology in Houston, TX, and author of the study. “The TheraClear®X Photopneumatic acne system used with the additional needle insert is a very
effective and safe treatment for both cystic and pustular acne lesions. Most importantly, the procedure is extremely well tolerated by patients with all types of acne.”
“The results from the clinical evaluation continue to highlight the efficacy and safety of the TheraClear®X system for treating acne, and we would like to thank Dr.
Chilukuri for his contributions,” stated Dolev Rafaeli, President and Chief Executive Officer of STRATA Skin Sciences. “This evaluation not only emphasizes our focus for providing clinically reimbursed procedures, but also holds us true to our
commitment of delivering tailored solutions for individuals afflicted with acne and other dermatologic conditions.”
The Company will be hosting a medical booth at the conference, offering attendees valuable insights into TheraClear®X as well as other product offerings.
