ADDITIONAL ROLLOUT OF NO!NO!™ HAIR BY MAJOR RETAILER FOLLOWS SUCCESSFUL PILOT LAUNCH
ORANGEBURG, N.Y. (February 7, 2013) – PhotoMedex, Inc. (NasdaqGS and TASE: PHMD) announces the expansion of in-store availability of its flagship product, no!no! Hair, which is now available for sale at approximately 950 Bed Bath & Beyond stores nationwide. The decision to expand the number of Bed Bath & Beyond stores was made following an initial pilot launch that was conducted in just under 100 stores over the last several months.
“We are pleased to have our flagship product in virtually all Bed Bath & Beyond stores and to be associated with the quality reputation it commands in the retail market. The limited introductory launch with no!no! Hair Plus in their stores performed quite well and we look forward to making the next phase of this rollout even more successful,” said Dr. Dolev Rafaeli, CEO of PhotoMedex and President and CEO of Radiancy Inc.
Bed Bath & Beyond retails no!no! Hair Plus for $259.95 (comprable to the UK selling price of 175 GBP) and is offered in sizzling red and bolting blue.

The expansion with Bed Bath & Beyond adds to the Company’s rapidly growing global retail footprint. Fully 3,000 multi-tiered retail doors in the Japanese market, more than 800 doors in Argentina and the UK market’s success in expanding from major department stores like Selfridges, Harrods and John Lewis, to 240 Boots stores in 2009 with no!no! Hair Plus and no!no! Skin helped pave the way for a 2012 third quarter expansion to Argos’ 600 doors with no!no! Hair Plus, no!no! Hair Classic and no!no! Skin.

ABOUT Radiancy, Inc.
Radiancy, Inc. is a leader in the medical and aesthetic skin care market. The company’s core belief that everyone is entitled to quality skin care has driven them to redefine expectations in order to deliver smart skin solutions to the widest possible range of professionals and consumers.
Radiancy opened its doors in 1998 with an idea and a vision – to make quality light-based skin care available to everyone. Within a few years, Radiancy revolutionized phototherapy with the introduction of Light Heat & Energy (LHE) technology, with their premier system, SpaTouch, offering a safer, more efficient photoepilation process. By 2002 Radiancy had captured an unprecedented 37% market share and took its place as a global leader for medical and aesthetic light-based systems. Radiancy then adapted LHE to develop a line of LHE MicroPhototherapy products. Radiancy is also the home of the no!no! family of products.
