HORSHAM, Pa., May 14, 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, announces its installed base of TheraClear®X devices surpassed 100 at the end of the first quarter of 2024.
As Strata is focused on expanding its TheraClear®X placements within existing XTRAC® partner clinics, a number of the device placements are with private equity-backed dermatology clinics, including the California Skin Institute and Aqua Dermatology, and other strategic accounts, including Pennsylvania Dermatology Partners, which has 35 clinics in its group practice. Additionally, one device placement was a comeback win with Palo Alto Medical Foundation.
The 48 individual private equity backed groups of clinical dermatology clinics STRATA is currently partnered with have a total of 2,482 locations, in which Strata has deployed 386 XTRAC® and 62 TheraClear®X devices.
“We continue to grow our domestic installed base of TheraClear®X devices quarter by quarter,” commented STRATA CEO Dr. Dolev Rafaeli. “As with our much more established XTRAC® offering, dermatologists recognize the value of our comprehensive program in treating acne, which is the most common skin condition in dermatology. TheraClear®X addresses many of the limitations of existing acne therapies, and its effectiveness is often visible after just a few treatments. Its unique photo pneumatic technology combines vacuum with pulsed broadband light that works both mechanically and thermally on the active acne lesion. With TheraClear®X, dermatologists now have a reimbursable option to treat acne, improving the economics for their practice. We look forward to working closely with our customers/partners to continue to increase our domestic install base and reporting on those outcomes in the coming quarters.”
