Preliminary revenue to be within the range of $7.3 - $7.8 million and expected to be the strongest first-quarter results since first quarter of 2016


Company exceeds plan with 44 TheraClear®X placements in the first quarter

HORSHAM, Pa., Apr. 12, 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 preliminary revenue for the first quarter of 2023 in the range of $7.3 - $7.8 million and is expected to be the strongest first-quarter results since the first quarter of 2016.

“We are off to a tremendous start in 2023, with 44 devices placed in the first quarter and over 3,000 TheraClear®X treatments sold since our official launch in January 2023.

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 quarter ended March 31, 2023, which is anticipated in May 2023.
