PRO3 this past weekend, with consumers purchasing approximately 31,200 units and $8.4 million of retail sales in a 24-hour period on live television home shopping in the U.S. no!no! PRO3 is the Company’s third new model successfully launched on U.S. live television home shopping and this is the sixth consecutive year that no!no! hair-removal products have been featured in this television format. Following the 2010 launch of the no!no! 8800, hundreds of thousands of units have been sold on live television home shopping in the U.S.
“We are very pleased with the reception our new, advanced no!no! PRO3 received from consumers during our U.S. television home shopping launch event this past weekend,” said Dr. Dolev Rafaeli, chief executive officer of PhotoMedex. “Not only were new customers reached during the program, but we were gratified to listen to numerous live testimonials during the airing describing that they were upgrading their no!no! models for themselves, as well as other live testimonials of current users who were purchasing the new model as gifts for loved ones.”
The new no!no! PRO3 removes and treats hair with professional results at home. The improved pulsed Thermicon™ technology employed by the device enables users to remove hair faster and more effectively than ever before, and with 30% more energy. In addition to the technology upgrade, the PRO3’s new design allows the user to see how the product is working and makes use easier than ever before. The special kit also included the new no!no! Smooth After Treatment 2.0 and the new no!no! Smooth Get Closer Lip Barrier.
“The introduction of the two new products, no!no! Smooth After Treatment 2.0 and no!no! Smooth Get Closer Lip Barrier, continues to demonstrate that we can successfully integrate products onto our consumer platform and in particular live television home shopping. These two products are in addition to our NEOVA® skincare products that were launched earlier this year on live television home shopping,” added Dr. Rafaeli.
PhotoMedex also affirmed today that it expects fourth quarter 2013 revenues to be more than $55 million without any expected contribution from Japan, as previously reported.

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 wide range of professionals and consumers possible.
Radiancy opened its doors in 1998 with an idea and a vision - to make quality light-based skin care available for 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.

Radiancy then adapted LHE to develop a line of LHE MicroPhototherapy products. Radiancy is also the home of the no!no! family of products.
