HORSHAM, Pa., July 11, 2023 (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 Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology (JCAD) published a review and an expert perspectives article in the June 2023 Supplemental edition titled, “Photopneumatic Technology for the Treatment of Mild-to-Moderate Acne Vulgaris.”

In the review, Gilly Munavalli, MD, highlighted the TheraClear^®X system, which included its mechanism of action, key features of the device, and the clinical outcomes experienced. Dr. Munavalli also recounted anecdotal results of using the device in the treatment of acne.

“TheraClearX is a tool we often utilize in the clinic to treat mild-to-moderate acne,” stated Dr. Gilly Munavalli, Medical Director and Founder of Dermatology, Laser, & Vein Specialists of the Carolinas in Charlotte, North Carolina. “With patients experiencing little-to-no downtime and visible reductions in redness early on in their treatment, we believe the TheraClearX system is an effective, non-pharmaceutical acne treatment.”

The clinical perspective article expands on the expert perspectives derived from a virtual roundtable conducted in February 2023 which featured Ashish Bhatia, MD, FAAD, Cheryl M. Burgess, MD, FAAD, Gilly S. Munavalli, MD, MHS, FACMS, and Jason L. Smith, MD. The roundtable participants discussed the TheraClearX system, its mechanism of action, the customizable device settings, treatment protocols, and practice integration. Key takeaways from the expert perspectives article include:

• It is safe and efficacious, with visible improvement of acne as soon as the second treatment.
• Additional benefits include visible improvement of pore size, erythema, and skin texture.
• Settings can be customized to treat all Fitzpatrick skin types.
• Treatment sessions are quick and comfortable, with no downtime resulting in compliant and satisfied patients.
• Ideal for a new acne patient wanting to expedite their acne clearance and/or an existing patient wanting to enhance their current acne regimen.

“The TheraClearX review and expert perspectives article highlights the device’s safety and efficacy and emphasizes the visible improvement patients often experience soon after beginning treatment,” stated Bob Moccia, Chief Executive Officer of STRATA Skin Sciences. “Importantly, the information presented in the JCAD supplement expands on how the TheraClearX device fits into the acne treatment landscape and how the device can be seamlessly integrated into a physician’s practice.”
