Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 8 Income Taxes: The Company's effective tax rate is dependent upon the geographic distribution of its earnings or losses (mainly between US and Israel). The difference between the Company's effective tax rates for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 and the U.S. Federal statutory rate (34%) resulted primarily from Pre-merged PhotoMedex current operations which have generated losses, which reduced the overall corporate tax expense and which will have effect on current tax expense when the Company elects to file a U.S. consolidated income tax return. In addition, the Israeli and UK subsidiaries' earnings are taxed at rates lower than the federal statutory rate (generally 20% to 24%, respectively). The application of income tax law is inherently complex. Laws and regulations in this area are voluminous and can be ambiguous; the Company is, therefore, obliged to make many subjective assumptions and judgments regarding the application of such laws and regulations to its facts and circumstances. In addition, interpretations of and guidance surrounding income tax laws and regulations are subject to changes over time. Any changes in the Company's subjective assumptions and judgments could materially affect amounts recognized in its consolidated balance sheets and statements of income.

Income Taxes:

The Company's effective tax rate is dependent upon the geographic distribution of its earnings or losses (mainly between US and Israel).

The difference between the Company's effective tax rates for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 and the U.S. Federal statutory rate (34%) resulted primarily from Pre-merged PhotoMedex current operations which have generated losses, which reduced the overall corporate tax expense and which will have effect on current tax expense when the Company elects to file a U.S. consolidated income tax return. In addition, the Israeli and UK subsidiaries' earnings are taxed at rates lower than the federal statutory rate (generally 20% to 24%, respectively).

The application of income tax law is inherently complex. Laws and regulations in this area are voluminous and can be ambiguous; the Company is, therefore, obliged to make many subjective assumptions and judgments regarding the application of such laws and regulations to its facts and circumstances. In addition, interpretations of and guidance surrounding income tax laws and regulations are subject to changes over time. Any changes in the Company's subjective assumptions and judgments could materially affect amounts recognized in its consolidated balance sheets and statements of income.
