Item 7.01. |
Regulation FD Disclosure.

On August 7, 2025, STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release
announcing its work with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to obtain temporary codes that would accelerate access to recently expanded reimbursement for its XTRAC® excimer laser treatment. As the Company had
previously announced, the American Medical Association’s CPT Editorial Panel, in a landmark decision, approved updates to codes 96920–96922, expanding reimbursement eligibility for XTRAC Excimer Laser treatments to include all inflammatory and
autoimmune skin conditions—such as vitiligo, atopic dermatitis, and alopecia areata—in addition to psoriasis, effective January 1, 2027. By securing temporary CMS codes, the Company aims to make these expanded indications reimbursable as early as
the 2026 rule cycle, effectively tripling the addressable patient population while improving treatment economics for both providers and the Company.
The press release also reported on recent peer reviewed publications supporting excimer laser therapy in combination with JAK inhibitors for treating vitiligo. The
Company’s intellectual property portfolio includes patents for the use of JAK inhibitors in combination with excimer laser therapy.
Also covered in the press release is an update on the lawsuit for unfair competition under the Lanham Act against LaserOptek America and other parties. Specifically,
the release stated that that the Federal District Court has agreed with the Company’s position that LaserOptek Co. Ltd, (‘LaserOptek Korea’) the South Korean parent of LaserOptek America, should be added as a defendant in the lawsuit, and that the
Company was encouraged that the court recognized that the Company was justified in its assertions that the US based defendants had engaged in duplicitous actions in attempting to hide and shield the Korean entity from the lawsuit. The court also
allowed the Company to add another defendant, C. Dalton, LLC, the entity that represented LaserOptek Korea’s interests in the U.S.
A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information set forth in this item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18
of the Securities Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set
forth by specific reference in any such filing.
