MONTGOMERYVILLE, Pa.

PhotoMedex, Inc. (NASDAQ and TASE: PHMD) announces the signing of a two-year extension with Ya-Man, the exclusive distributor of its no!no! brand in Japan. The new agreement calls for minimum order quantities and advertising budgets consistent with the existing agreement, which was due to expire on December 31, 2012. Independent research shows that no!no! Hair is the leading women’s hair removal device in Japan, accounting for more than 50% of all retail sales.

Commenting on the renewal of the agreement with Ya-Man, Dr. Dolev Rafaeli, chief executive officer of PhotoMedex, said, “Ya-Man has been a strong distribution partner for the no!no! brand for the past three years and we are delighted to renew the agreement and our partnership, which further advances our market-leading position in Japan. We expect continued growth of no!no! products there through our finely honed consumer marketing program and the excellent work Ya-Man is doing, supported by brand extensions into other categories including the no!no! line for men.”
