The medical technology company said on Tuesday that Mexico's health regulator, COFEPRIS (Comisión Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios), granted Device Registration No. 3187E2024SSA, valid through November 2029.

Initial Commercial Deployment Underway

STRATA began its commercial rollout through a partnership with MINO Labs, a Mexican pharmaceutical and medical device commercialization company.

Physicians will be able to purchase and use TheraClearX under the company’s usage-based partnership model, which requires no upfront capital investment and only charges for treatments completed.

Mexico Market Opportunity

According to the company, the professional acne medication segment in Mexico is projected to nearly double by 2030 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 10.2%.

Average acne treatment sessions cost about MXN 3,200, or roughly $174.

Shmuel Gov, chief operating officer of STRATA, said, “The clearance of TheraClearX by COFEPRIS expands STRATA’s reach into a fast-growing, innovation-driven dermatology market.”

STRATA reported a second-quarter loss of 60 cents per share, missing estimates of a 27-cent loss, on $7.7 million in revenue, below the expected $8.6 million.
