Horsham, Pa, January 10, 2022 —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 reported preliminary, unaudited fourth quarter 2021 financial results.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Financial Highlights
Preliminary, unaudited total revenue is expected to range from $8.8 million to $9.2 million, compared to $6.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2020
Preliminary, unaudited total revenue for the full year 2021 is expected to range from $29.7 million to $30.1 million, compared to $23.1 million for the full year 2020
Cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash was $12.5 million as of December 31, 2021, as compared to $18.1 million as of December 31, 2020

Fourth Quarter 2021 Operational Highlights
Placed 34 domestic XTRAC systems, resulting in net systems placed in U.S. dermatologists’ offices of 890, of which 18 are comebacks from previous excimer device owners.
Increased international partner XTRAC clinics to 54, up from 28 in 2020 and 10 in 2019
Converted 17 Pharos systems acquired from Ra Medical’s U.S. dermatology business to STRATA’s recurring revenue model
Hired Christopher Lesovitz as CFO

“We were pleased with the strong results our team delivered through the fourth quarter of 2021, which were bolstered by favorable year-end insurance claims and strong commercial execution by the entire STRATA team. Despite headwinds from the Delta and Omicron variants, STRATA continued to make meaningful progress on our strategic initiatives, which were reflected in the quality of our preliminary financial results,” said Robert Moccia, President & CEO of STRATA Skin Sciences. “Subsequent to year end, we were also delighted to complete the acquisition of Theravant Corporation's acne treatment device assets, enabling us to enter the $5.5 billion U.S. acne care market. The acquisition represents STRATA's second strategic asset purchase in six months, both of which were executed under new leadership and further establish STRATA’s position as the global leader of clinical dermatology devices,” concluded Moccia.

The preliminary unaudited results described in this press release are estimates and are subject to revision until the company reports its full financial results for the year ended December 2021, which is anticipated in mid-March.

   Multicenter Psoriasis Study7  124 patients were enrolled and 80 completed the protocol. 72% achieved at least 75% clearing in an average of 6.2 treatments. 84% of patients reached improvement of 75% or better after 10 or fewer treatments. 50% of patients reached improvement of 90% or better after 10 or fewer treatments. Common side effects included erythema, blisters, hyperpigmentation, and erosions, but were well tolerated.    Scalp Study9   All patients improved. 17/35 (49%) of patients cleared >95% (mean: 21 treatments; range: 6-52) and 16/35 (45%) cleared 50-95%. Conclusion – The excimer laser is a successful approach to treatment of psoriasis of the scalp, being a simple treatment that can be performed in a short period of time with a high rate of effectiveness.  Sample Studies From 150+ Clinical Studies    Vitiligo Study8  Out of 221 vitiligo patches treated, 50.6% showed 75% pigmentation or more, 25.5% achieved 100% pigmentation of their patches, and 64.3% showed 50% pigmentation or more. Lesions on the face responded better than lesions elsewhere. Conclusion: The 308-nm xenon chloride excimer laser is an effective and safe modality for the treatment of vitiligo, with good results achieved in a relatively short duration of time.    Pediatric Study10  4 children with a mean age of 11.0 years and 12 adults with a mean age of 48.8 years completed the protocol. Both the children and the adult groups yielded a significant decrease in psoriatic severity scores of their respective target lesions. The children’s group had a greater reduction (91.3% reduction) as compared to the adult treatment group (61.6% reduction).   28
