ITEM 8.01   Other Events

On December 13, 2012, PhotoMedex, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release entitled “PhotoMedex Raises Fourth Quarter 2012 Revenue Forecast”, announces that it expects revenue for the fourth quarter of 2012 to increase by more than 80% year over year and be between $52 million and $54 million. This compares with previous guidance for fourth quarter revenue to increase by more than 60% over the same quarter of 2011.  The Company attributes the quarterly revenue outperformance to the efficiency of holiday advertising in the consumer business segment that is yielding sales above prior forecasts, as well as better than expected results in the Company’s Physician Recurring and Professional business segments.  A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, and is incorporated by reference herein.
