PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE

2024 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS PROXY MATERIAL AND VOTING

Why am I receiving these materials?

We sent you this Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card because the Board of Directors of STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, or “the Company”) is soliciting your proxy to vote at our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting, and we request that you vote on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement. You do not need to attend the meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card, or you may grant a proxy to vote your shares by means of the telephone or on the Internet.

We intend to mail this Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card together with our 2024 Annual Report to Stockholders on or about September 26, 2024 to all stockholders of record on September 19, 2024 (the “record date”) entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each share of common stock outstanding on the record date will be entitled to one vote.

Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the record date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On this record date, there were 4,171,161 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If, on the record date, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy. Throughout this Proxy Statement, we refer to these holders as “stockholders of record.”

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank

If, on the record date, your shares were held not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. Since you are not the stockholder of record, however, you may not vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid legal proxy from your broker or other agent. Throughout this Proxy Statement, we refer to these holders as “street name stockholders.”

What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?

Our stockholders are being asked to approve the following proposals at the Annual Meeting:

1.	elect five (5) director nominees named in this proxy statement;

2.	ratify the appointment by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024;

3.	conduct any other business properly brought before the meeting.

How do I vote?

You may either vote “For” all the nominees to the Board of Directors or you may “Withhold” your vote for any nominee you specify. For each of the other matters you may vote “For” or “Against” or abstain from voting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting, or vote by proxy using the enclosed proxy card or via the Internet or telephone (see “Voting Via the Internet or by Telephone” below). If you vote by proxy, your shares will be voted as you specify on the proxy card. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person if you have already voted by proxy.

•	To vote in person, come to the Annual Meeting, and we will give you a ballot when you arrive at the Annual Meeting and follow the instructions provided.

•	To vote using the enclosed proxy card, simply complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it promptly in the envelope provided. If you return your signed proxy card to us before the Annual Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct.

Voting Via the Internet or by Telephone

Stockholders may grant a proxy to vote their shares by means of the telephone or via the Internet. The laws of the State of Delaware, under which we are incorporated, specifically permit electronically transmitted proxies, provided that each such proxy contains or is submitted with information from which the Inspector of Elections can determine that such proxy was authorized by the stockholder.

The telephone and Internet voting procedures below are designed to authenticate stockholders' identities, to allow stockholders to grant a proxy to vote their shares and to confirm that stockholders' instructions have been recorded properly. Stockholders granting a proxy to vote via the Internet should understand that there may be costs associated with electronic access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies, which must be borne by the stockholder.

Stockholders of record may go to www.proxyvote.com to grant a proxy to vote their shares by means of the Internet. They will be required to provide the control number contained on their proxy cards. Any stockholder using a touch-tone telephone may also grant a proxy to vote shares by calling 1-800-690-6903 and following the operator's instructions.

General Information for All Shares Voted Via the Internet or by Telephone

Votes submitted via the Internet or by telephone must be received by 11:59 p.m. EST on October 28, 2024. Submitting your proxy via the Internet or by telephone will not affect your right to vote in person should you decide to attend the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank

If you are a street name stockholder, you should have received a proxy card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from that organization rather than from us. Simply complete and mail the proxy card or voting instructions as instructed by your broker, bank or other agent to ensure that your vote is counted. To vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank, or other agent. Follow the instructions from your broker, bank or other agent included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker, bank or other agent to request a proxy form.

Most street name stockholders receive instructions for granting proxies from their banks, brokers or other agents, rather than the proxy card.

How many votes do I have?

On each matter to be voted upon, you have one vote for each share of our common stock you own as of the record date.

What if I return a proxy card but do not make specific choices?

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are a stockholder of record and you sign and return a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions, then the proxy holders will vote your shares in the manner recommended by the Board of Directors on the matters presented in this Proxy Statement and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion for any other matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank

If you are a street name stockholder, you will have received these proxy materials from that organization holding your account, and you have the right to instruct your broker, bank, trustee, or nominee how to vote the shares held in your account. If no voting instructions are given, your broker or nominee has discretionary authority to vote your shares on your behalf on routine matters as determined in accordance with NYSE Rule 452 by The New York Stock Exchange, which applies to brokers, banks and other securities intermediates in respect to proxy voting, including with respect to Nasdaq-listed companies, proposals are considered “routine” or “non-routine”. In the absence of timely directions, your broker, bank or other nominee will have discretion to vote your shares on “routine” matters. The only routine matter at the Annual Meeting is the ratification of the appointment by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. Your broker, bank or other nominee will not have discretion to vote on any other proposals, which are considered “non-routine” matters, absent direction from you. In the event that your broker, bank or other nominee votes your shares on our sole routine matter, but is not able to vote your shares on the non-routine matters, then those shares will be treated as “broker non-votes” with respect to the non-routine proposals. Accordingly, if you own shares through a nominee, such as a broker or bank, please be sure to instruct your nominee how to vote to ensure that your shares are counted on each of the proposals. You may not vote shares held in street name at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a legal proxy from that organization holding your account.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these mailed and posted proxy materials, we will bear the cost of proxies solicited by the Board of Directors. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, solicitation may be made personally or by telephone or electronic communication by our directors, officers and employees, none of whom will receive additional compensation for these services. We will also reimburse brokers and other nominees for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with distributing forms of proxies and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of common stock.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

If you receive more than one proxy card, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. Please complete, sign and return each proxy card to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

Yes. You may revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the meeting. If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy in any one of four ways:

•	you may submit a proxy with a later date that is received by us prior to the Annual Meeting;

•	you may send a written notice, dated later than the proxy, that you are revoking your proxy to our Secretary at 5 Walnut Grove Drive, Suite 140, Horsham, Pennsylvania 19044 that is received by us prior to the Annual Meeting;

•	you may submit a new vote by telephone or via the Internet; or

•	you may attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. Simply attending the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

If you are a street name stockholder, you must follow the instructions provided by your broker or bank.

When are stockholder proposals due for next year's annual meeting?

Under Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our stockholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in our Proxy Statement and for consideration at the next annual meeting of stockholders by submitting their proposals to us in a timely manner. In order to be considered for inclusion in the Proxy Statement distributed to stockholders prior to the annual meeting of stockholders in the year 2025, a stockholder proposal must be received by us no later than May 29, 2025 and must otherwise comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8.

In order to be considered for presentation at the annual meeting of stockholders in the year 2025, although not included in the Proxy Statement, a stockholder proposal or nomination(s) must comply with the requirements of our

In the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation is increased and there is no public announcement (as defined in the Bylaws) by the Company naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least 75 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting (or, if the annual meeting is held more than 30 days before or 60 days after such anniversary date, at least 75 days prior to such annual meeting), a stockholder's notice required by the Bylaws shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Company. Stockholder proposals should be delivered in writing to STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc., 5 Walnut Grove Drive, Suite 140, Horsham, Pennsylvania 19044, Attention: Secretary.

How are votes counted?

Votes will be counted by the Inspector of Elections appointed for the meeting, who will separately tabulate “For”, “Against” and “Withhold” votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.

How many votes are needed to approve each proposal?

•

Proposal No. 1, the election of directors, the five (5) nominees receiving the most “For” votes (among votes properly cast in person or by proxy) will be elected. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not constitute or be counted as votes cast for purposes of this proposal. Stockholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes for directors.

•

Proposal No. 2, the ratification of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, must receive a “For” vote from the majority of shares present and entitled to vote either in person or by proxy to be approved. Abstentions will have the same effect as an “Against” vote. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

What is the quorum requirement?

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if at least one-third of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote are represented by votes at the Annual Meeting or by proxy. On the record date, there were 4,171,161 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote in person at the meeting or by telephone or via the Internet. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, the chairman of the meeting or a majority of the votes present at the Annual Meeting may adjourn the meeting to another date.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Independence of the Board of Directors

As required under the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”), a majority of the members of a listed company's Board of Directors must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors consults with our counsel to ensure that the Board of Director's determinations are consistent with all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of “independent,” including those set forth in pertinent listing standards of NASDAQ, as are in effect from time to time.

Consistent with these considerations, after review of all relevant transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his or her family members, and us, its senior management and its independent registered public accounting firm, the Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that the majority of our directors and director nominees are independent directors within the meaning of the applicable NASDAQ listing standards. Wayne Cafran, Shmuel Rubinstein and Iriti Yaniv are each independent under the applicable listing standards of NASDAQ.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Board of Directors administers its risk oversight function as a whole by making risk oversight a matter of collective consideration. While management is responsible for identifying risks, our Board of Directors has charged the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors with evaluating financial and accounting risk, the Compensation/Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors with evaluating risks associated with employees and compensation. Investor-related risks are usually addressed by the Board as a whole.

The Board of Directors met in person or by unanimous consent 12 times during the last fiscal year. During the last fiscal year, the Audit Committee met in person or by unanimous consent 7 times, and the Compensation/Nominating and Governance Committee met in person or by unanimous consent 4 times. All directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees on which they served that were held during the period in which they were a director and a committee member.

Information Regarding the Board of Directors and its Committees

Our Board of Directors has an Audit Committee and a Compensation/Nominating and Governance Committee. The following table provides membership information for each of these committees:


Name	Audit	Compensation/ Nominating and Corporate Governance
Dr. Uri Gieger, Chairman
Dr. Dolev Rafaeli
Wayne Cafran	X*	X
Samuel Rubinstein	X	X*
Dr. Irit Yaniv	X	X

*	Committee Chair

Below is a description of each committee of the Board of Directors. Each of the committees has authority to engage independent advisors, as it deems appropriate to carry out its responsibilities. The Board of Directors has determined that each member of each committee meets the applicable rules and regulations regarding “independence” and that each member is free of any relationship that would interfere with his or her individual exercise of independent judgment with regard to us.

Audit Committee

The current members of our Audit Committee are Wayne Cafran (Chair), Samuel Rubinstein, and Irit Yaniv, each of whom we believe satisfies the independence requirements of NASDAQ and the SEC. Mr. Cafran chairs this committee and has been designated as the “Audit Committee financial expert” under Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. The Board of Directors determined that each member of the Audit Committee satisfies the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

independence and other composition requirements of the SEC and NASDAQ. Our Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Audit Committee has the requisite accounting or related financial expertise required by applicable NASDAQ rules. Our Audit Committee assists our Board of Directors in its oversight of:

•	appointing, evaluating and determining the compensation of our independent auditors;

•	reviewing and approving the scope of the annual audit, the audit fee and the financial statements;

•	reviewing disclosure controls and procedures, internal control over financial reporting, any internal audit function and corporate policies with respect to financial information;

•	reviewing other risks that may have a significant impact on our financial statements;

•	preparing the Audit Committee report for inclusion in the annual proxy statement;

•	establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting and auditing matters;

•	approving all related person transactions, as defined by applicable SEC Rules, to which we are a party; and

•	evaluating annually the Audit Committee charter.

The Audit Committee works closely with management as well as our independent auditors. The Audit Committee has the authority to obtain advice and assistance from, and receive appropriate funding from us for, outside legal, accounting or other advisors as the Audit Committee deems necessary to carry out its duties.

The charter of our Audit Committee is available in the Corporate Governance section of the Investor Relations section of our website at www.strataskinsciences.com.

Compensation and Nominating/Governance Committee

The current members of our Compensation and Nominating/Governance Committee are Samuel Rubinstein (Chair), Irit Yaniv, and Wayne Cafran each of whom we believe satisfies the independence requirements of NASDAQ. Mr. Rubinstein chairs this committee. The purpose of our Compensation/Nominating and Governance Committee is to assist in the responsibilities of the Board of Directors relating to compensation of our executive officers. In addition to its role in compensation matters, the purpose of our Compensation and Nominating/Governance Committee is to review all Board of Director-recommended and stockholder-recommended nominees, determine each nominee's qualifications and to make a recommendation to the full Board of Directors as to which persons should be the Board of Directors' nominees. Specific responsibilities of the committee include:

•	reviewing and approving objectives relevant to executive officer compensation;

•	evaluating performance and recommending to the Board of Directors the compensation, including any incentive compensation, of the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers in accordance with such objectives;

•	reviewing employment agreements for executive officers;

•	recommending to the Board of Directors the compensation for our directors;

•	administering our equity compensation plans and other employee benefit plans;

•	evaluating human resources and compensation strategies, as needed;

•	identifying and recommending to the Board of Directors individuals qualified to become members of the Board of Directors;

•	recommending to the Board of Directors the director nominees for the next annual meeting of stockholders;

•	recommending to the Board of Directors director committee assignments;

•	reviewing and evaluating succession planning for the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers;

•	monitoring the independence of the directors;

•	developing and overseeing the corporate governance principles applicable to members of the Board of Directors, officers and employees;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•	reviewing and approving director compensation and administering the Non-Employee Director Plan;

•	overseeing the Company’s cybersecurity programs;

•	monitoring the continuing education for our directors; and

•	evaluating annually the Compensation and Nominating/Governance Committee charter.

The Compensation/Nominating and Governance Committee reviews executive compensation from time to time and reports to the Board of Directors, which makes all final decisions with respect to executive compensation. The Compensation/Nominating and Governance Committee adheres to several guidelines in carrying out its responsibilities, including performance by the employees, our performance, enhancement of stockholder value, growth of new businesses and new markets and competitive levels of fixed and variable compensation.

The Compensation/Nominating and Governance Committee considers potential candidates recommended by its members, management and others, including stockholders. In considering candidates recommended by stockholders, the committee will apply the same criteria it applies in connection with candidates recommended by the Compensation/Nominating and Governance Committee. Stockholders may propose candidates to the Compensation/Nominating and Governance Committee by delivering a notice to the Compensation/Nominating and Governance Committee that contains the information required by the Bylaws. The Compensation/Nominating and Governance Committee did not pay any fee to any third party to search for, identify and/or evaluate the nominees for directors.

The Compensation/Nominating and Governance Committee does not maintain a formal diversity policy with respect to the identification or selection of directors for nomination to the Board of Directors. Diversity is just one of many factors the Compensation/Nominating and Governance Committee considers in the identification and selection of director nominees. The Company defines diversity broadly to include differences in race, gender, ethnicity, age, viewpoint, professional experience, educational background, skills and other personal attributes that can foster board heterogeneity in order to encourage and maintain board effectiveness.

The charter of our Compensation/Nominating and Governance Committee is available in the Corporate Governance section of the Investor Relations section of our website at www.strataskinsciences.com.

The Board of Directors' Role in Risk Oversight

Our Board of Directors administers its risk oversight function as a whole by making risk oversight a matter of collective consideration. While management is responsible for identifying risks, the Board of Directors has charged the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors with evaluating financial and accounting risk and the Compensation/Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors with evaluating risks associated with employees and compensation. Investor-related risks are usually addressed by the Board of Directors as a whole.

Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has established a process for stockholders to communicate with the Board of Directors or with individual directors. Stockholders who wish to communicate with the Board of Directors or with individual directors should direct written correspondence to Jay Sturm, General Counsel at jsturm@strataskin.com or to the following address (our principal executive offices): Board of Directors, c/o Corporate Secretary, 5 Walnut Grove Drive, Suite 140, Horsham, Pennsylvania 19044. Any such communication must contain:

•	a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of our capital stock;

•	the name and address, as they appear on our books, of the stockholder sending such communication; and

•	the class and number of shares of our capital stock that are beneficially owned by such stockholder.

Mr. Sturm, as the Corporate Secretary, will forward such communications to the Board of Directors or the specified individual director to whom the communication is directed unless such communication is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or similarly inappropriate, in which case the Corporate Secretary has the authority to discard the communication or to take appropriate legal action regarding such communication.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Audit Committee oversees the Company's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the systems of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed the audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 with management, including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.

The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing, approving and managing the engagement of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, including the scope, extent and procedures of the annual audit and compensation to be paid therefore, and all other matters the Audit Committee deems appropriate, including the Company's independent registered public accounting firm's accountability to the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviewed with the Company's independent registered public accounting firms, which are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, their respective judgment as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Company's accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee by the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), including; PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications With Audit Committees, the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other applicable regulations; and discussed and reviewed the results of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm's examination of the financial statements. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with the Company's independent registered public accounting firms the independent registered public accounting firms’ independence from management and the Company, including the matters in the written disclosures, the letter regarding its independence by Rule 3526 of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firms’ communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. The Audit Committee also considered whether the provision of non-audit services was compatible with maintaining the independent registered public accounting firms’ independence.

The Audit Committee discussed with the Company's independent registered public accounting firms the overall scope and plans for its audits and received from them written disclosures and letter regarding their independence. The Audit Committee meets with the Company's independent registered public accounting firms, with and without management present, to discuss the results of its examinations, its evaluations of the Company's internal control over financial reporting and the overall quality of the Company's financial reporting. The Audit Committee held four meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors (and the Board of Directors has approved) that the audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee has also retained Marcum LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

Overview of Executive Employment Agreements and Payments upon Termination or Change of Control

Employment Agreement with Dr. Dolev Rafaeli

On October 30, 2023, the Company appointed Dr. Dolev Rafaeli, Ph.D., (“Rafaeli”), as its Vice-Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to such appointment, the Company and Rafaeli entered into an employment agreement, dated as of October 30, 2023 (the “Rafaeli Employment Agreement”), which provides for, among other things: (i) a three-year term of employment, commencing on October 31, 2023 (the “Start Date”), which renews for successive one year additional terms unless a party gives the other party a notice of non-renewal at least 90 days prior to the end of the then applicable employment term; (ii) an annual base salary of $500,000 minus applicable withholdings and deductions; (iii) a bonus for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, equal to $375,000 times a ratio equal to (a) the number of days from the Start Date until December 31, 2023, divided by (b) 365; (iv) an incentive bonus opportunity for each fiscal year of the Company, during the term of the Rafaeli Agreement, beginning on January 1, 2024, equal to 75% of his base salary for such year; (iv) participation in long-term incentive plans and employee benefit plans, including health and 401(k) plans generally in effect for the Company’s employees; (v) 24 days of annual vacation, plus 10 established holiday days, per full calendar year of employment; and (vi) an automobile and maintenance allowance of $1,250 per month. In addition, on the Start Date, Rafaeli, was awarded an option to purchase 1,745,569 shares of common stock, which options will vest in twelve equal quarterly amounts over a period of three years from the Start Date (the “Option”). The Option is intended to constitute an employment inducement grant under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4).

The Company will also pay Rafaeli a lump sum cash bonus equal to two times his then base salary if, during the term of his employment, a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Company’s 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time) occurs, with such bonus payable within 15 days after the consummation of such Change

in Control. The Company also agreed to reimburse Rafaeli for premiums paid to receive health continuation coverage under his prior employers plans for the period from the Start Date through the date Rafaeli is eligible to participate in the Company’s medical, dental and visions plans.

The Rafaeli Employment Agreement provides Rafaeli with severance benefits in the event that his employment is terminated under certain circumstances, including by Rafaeli for “Good Reason” and by the Company “other than for Cause” (each as defined in the Rafaeli Employment Agreement). Upon the termination of Rafaeli’s employment, he will automatically resign as a member of the Company’s board of directors. Pursuant to the Rafaeli Employment Agreement, Rafaeli is subject to confidentiality, assignment of intellectual property, and restricted activities covenants, the latter of which continues for 18 months after his separation from employment.

Employment Agreement with Robert Moccia

On October 30, 2023, we and Robert Moccia (“Moccia”) entered into an employment separation agreement and release (the “Separation Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, as of October 30, 2023 (the “Termination Date”), Moccia resigned as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President and as a member of the Company’s board of directors. In connection with Moccia’s separation, upon the expiration of the revocation period related to the general release delivered by Moccia to the Company, the Company agreed to pay to Moccia nine-months of his Base Salary (as defined in his employment agreement, dated March 1, 2021 (the “Moccia Employment Agreement”)), less applicable legal deductions, such as tax withholdings, as separation pay by salary continuation consistent with the Company’s normal payroll procedures. The Company also agreed to pay to Moccia a lump sum amount equal to Moccia’s accrued but unused vacation days, less any applicable deduction such as tax withholdings. In addition, if Moccia timely and properly elects health continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), the Company will reimburse Moccia for the monthly COBRA premium paid by Moccia for himself and his dependents. Moccia will be eligible to receive such reimbursement until the earliest of: (a) the eighteen-month anniversary following the Termination Date; (b) the date Moccia is no longer eligible to receive COBRA continuation coverage; and (c) the date on which Moccia receives substantially similar coverage from another employer or other source. Moccia will not receive any bonus for 2023 or any other period.

The parties to the Separation Agreement agreed that any options to purchase common stock of the Company previously granted to Moccia will continue to be subject to their existing terms. Specifically, as of the Termination Date (unless earlier exercised) Moccia and the Company agreed that Moccia has: (a) vested options, granted March 1, 2021, to purchase 1,632,590 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.73 but the ability to exercise such options will terminate on January 28, 2024, after which such options will expire; (b) vested options, granted March 30, 2022, to purchase up to 100,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.45 but the ability to exercise such options will terminate on January 28, 2024, after which such options will expire; (c) unvested options, granted April 3, 2023, to purchase up to 75,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.06, but these options will only be vested if certain conditions regarding a “change of control” as described in the Separation Agreement are satisfied on or prior to December 30, 2023. In the event such options vest, the ability to exercise such options will terminate on January 28, 2024, after which such options will expire. The incentive options granted April 3, 2023, to purchase up to 75,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.06 did not vest and will be forfeited as of the Termination Date.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Agreement (i)(A) upon a “Change of Control” (as defined in the Employment Agreement) unless the new controlling person or entity of the Company’s business and/or assets determines otherwise and (B)(1) if he has not been offered post-Change of Control employment by the Company or any successor entity, or (2) if he is offered post-Change of Control employment by the Company or any successor entity, the position offered to Mr. Lesovitz would result in a material reduction in Mr. Lesovitz’s duties, authority or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to such Change of Control, or Mr. Lesovitz is offered post-Change of Control employment and accepting such employment requires that Mr. Lesovitz relocate to an office more than 75 miles from his primary residence or (ii) the Company terminates Mr. Lesovitz’ s employment other than for death, disability (as defined in the Employment Agreement), Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement), or his voluntary termination, then the Company shall pay Mr. Lesovitz (I) an amount equal to his then current base salary for nine (9) months payable in equal installments, less applicable taxes and withholdings, pursuant to the Company's normal payroll procedures over nine (9) months, and (II) provided Mr. Lesovitz timely elects, and remains eligible for, continued group health plan benefits to the extent authorized by and consistent with COBRA, reimburse him, on a monthly basis upon presentation of proof of payment by Mr. Lesovitz, for COBRA premiums in an amount such that his net cost (after tax) for continued health insurance coverage is the same as his cost for such benefits as in effect on the date of termination and such reimbursement shall continue until the earlier of the date that is nine (9) months after the date of termination and the date Mr. Lesovitz becomes eligible for health benefits through another employer or otherwise becomes ineligible for COBRA.

Change in Control Agreement with Shmuel Gov

As of August 2, 2021 the Company entered into a severance agreement with Mr. Gov, providing for certain benefits and payments in the event of a Change in Control, as defined in the agreement. Should the payment obligation be triggered, Mr. Gov would be entitled to severance in an amount equal to his then annual base compensation then in effect for nine (9) months payable in equal installments, less applicable taxes and withholdings, pursuant to the Company's normal payroll procedures over nine (9) months. A pro-rata payment from the Company’s annual bonus plan for the fiscal year in which his termination occurred, equal to the payment he would have received had he remained in the employment of the Company through the end of such fiscal year, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months elapsed from the start of such fiscal year to the date of your termination of employment, and the denominator of which is 12. For a period of nine (9) months following his termination, he will remain eligible to participate, on the same terms and conditions as apply from time to time to the Company’s senior management generally, in the health, vision and dental programs of the Company; provided, however, that such eligibility will cease at such time as he becomes eligible to participate in comparable programs of a subsequent employer.

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has selected Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 and has further directed that the Board of Directors submit the selection of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for ratification by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting.

Stockholder ratification of the selection of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise. However, the Board of Directors, on behalf of the Audit Committee, is submitting the selection of Marcum LLP to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of us and our stockholders.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL NO. 2.

(4)	There were no other fees billed by Marcum LLP for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023.

Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services

Consistent with the SEC's rules, the Audit Committee charter requires that the Audit Committee review and pre-approve all audit services and permitted non-audit services provided by the independent auditors to us or any of our subsidiaries. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to a member of the Audit Committee and if it does, the decisions of that member must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

The Audit Committee's pre-approval policy provides as follows:

•

First, once a year when the base audit engagement is reviewed and approved, management will identify all other services (including fee ranges) for which management knows it will engage Marcum LLP for the next 12 months. Those services typically include quarterly reviews, specified tax matters, certifications to the lenders as required by financing documents, consultation on new accounting and disclosure standards and, in future years, reporting on management's internal controls assessment.

•	Second, if any new “unlisted” proposed engagement arises during the year, the engagement will require approval of the Audit Committee.

All fees to our independent accounting firm were approved by the Audit Committee.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

A single proxy statement may be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that it will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you notify your broker or the Company that you no longer wish to participate in “householding.” If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report in the future you may notify your broker or direct your written request to: STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc., 5 Walnut Grove Drive, Suite 140, Horsham, Pennsylvania 19044, Attention: Secretary. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement at their address and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their broker. In addition, we will promptly deliver, upon written or oral request to the address or telephone number above, a separate copy of the annual report and proxy statement to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the documents was delivered.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

OTHER MATTERS

The Board of Directors knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

September 26, 2024

A copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 is available without charge upon written request to: STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc., 5 Walnut Grove Drive, Suite 140, Horsham, Pennsylvania 19044, Attention: Secretary.
