Item 7.01.
Regulation FD Disclosure.

On March 20, 2025, STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the publication of a clinical study entitled “Excimer Laser Penetrates Deeper into Hair Follicles and Activates More Melanocyte Lineage Cells than Excimer Light,” authored by distinguished researchers from the Nippon Medical School and published in the peer reviewed Journal of Nippon Medical School, which study demonstrates that despite  two devices producing same 308-nm wavelength, the distinct technological characteristics between two devices can have significant impact on the clinical outcomes. Notably, the excimer laser exhibits laser properties (monochromatic coherent light) and unique device specifications (a high frequency of 400 Hz and a remarkably high irradiance that leads to cellular differences such as deeper penetration, greater activation of melanocyte lineage cells (melanocyte stem cells (McSCs) and melanoblasts) resulting in superior clinical outcomes in terms of greater pigmentation and fewer epidermal side effects relative to excimer light. This study provides further scientific evidence that the modality generating UVB light has significant impact on the clinical outcomes of a device.

A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
