Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	BASIS OF PRESENTATION A pyx Medical Corporation (“Company", "Apyx", "it" and similar terms) was incorporated in 1982, under the laws of the State of Delaware and has its principal executive office at 5115 Ulmerton Road, Clearwater, FL 33760. The Company is an advanced energy technology company with a passion for elevating people’s lives through innovative products in the cosmetic and surgical markets. Known for its innovative Helium Plasma Technology, Apyx is solely focused on bringing transformative solutions to the physicians and patients they serve. It's Helium Plasma Technology is marketed and sold as Renuvion® in the cosmetic surgery market and J-Plasma® in the hospital surgical market. Renuvion® offers plastic surgeons, fascial plastic surgeons and cosmetic physicians a unique ability to provide controlled heat to the tissue to achieve their desired results. The J-Plasma® system allows surgeons to operate with a high level of precision, virtually eliminating unintended tissue trauma. The Company also leverages its deep expertise and decades of experience in unique waveforms through original equipment manufacturing (OEM) agreements with other medical device manufacturers. The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the level of economic activity around the world. The extent of the impact of the pandemic on the Company's business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the responses and information related to it continue to change. As elective surgery cases using the Company’s Helium Plasma Technology have started to increase again, it is unknown whether these trends will continue. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may materially and adversely impact the Company’s future financial position, liquidity, or results of operations remains uncertain. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared based upon SEC rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. For a more complete discussion of significant accounting policies and certain other information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of results of consolidated operations and financial condition for the interim periods shown, including normal recurring accruals and other items. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Reclassifications We have reclassified certain amounts presented in the prior year to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net income, retained earnings or operating cash flows for the periods presented.

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). The update changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, contract assets, held-to-maturity debt securities and loans, and requires entities to use a new forward-looking expected loss model that will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. This update, as originally issued, was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) Effective Dates , which deferred the effective dates of these standards for Smaller Reporting Companies until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company currently expects to continue to qualify as a Smaller Reporting Company, based upon the current SEC definition, and as a result, will be utilizing the deferred elective date. While we are in the process of determining the effects of the adoption of the standard on the consolidated financial statements, we do not expect the impact to be material. No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had or is expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE	EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic earnings (loss) per share (“basic EPS”) is computed by dividing the net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share (“diluted EPS”) gives effect to all dilutive potential shares outstanding. As the Company is in a net loss position for all periods presented, all potential shares outstanding are anti-dilutive.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Under the Company's stock option plans, the board of directors may grant restricted stock and options to purchase common shares to the Company's employees, officers, directors and consultants. The Company accounts for stock options in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation , with stock-based compensation expense recognized over the vesting period based on the fair value on the grant date utilizing the Black Scholes model, which includes a number of estimates that affect the grant date fair value and the amount of expense to recognize. The Company recognized approximately $1,369,000 and $2,563,000, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared with $1,097,000 and $2,146,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Common shares required to be issued upon the exercise of stock options would be issued from authorized and unissued shares. The Company calculated the grant date fair value of options granted in 2021 ("2021 Grants") utilizing a Black Scholes model with an expected life calculated via the simplified method. 2021 Grants Strike price $9.29 - $9.55 Risk-free rate 0.6% - 0.8% Expected dividend yield — Expected volatility 70.7% - 70.8% Expected term (in years) 4.5 - 6

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES	6 Months Ended

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the CARES Act to provide relief from COVID-19. The CARES Act includes a provision that allows companies to carryback net operating losses (NOL’s) generated in the period 2018 through 2020 to prior years. In conjunction with the disposition of the Core business in 2018, the Company generated a significant amount of taxable income in 2018. Subsequently, the Company generated net losses in 2019 and 2020. For the net losses generated in 2019, the Company previously recorded a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets associated with its NOL carryforwards due to realization of the NOL not being probable under then existing tax law. The CARES Act makes these assets realizable and, as of the date of the CARES Act, the Company has recognized an income tax benefit of approximately $3.7 million associated with the release of the valuation allowance on its Federal NOL carryforward related to 2019. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company also recognized income tax benefits of approximately $1.5 million and $6.4 million, respectively, related to losses before income taxes.Income tax expense (benefit) was approximately $107,000 and $(1,492,000) with effective tax rates of (2.7)% and 24.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Income tax expense (benefit) was approximately $173,000 and $(6,397,000) with effective tax rates of (2.0)% and 49.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the effective rates differ from the statutory rate primarily due to the full valuation allowance recorded on the NOL generated during the period, combined with interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the release of the valuation allowance on the NOL carryforward from 2019. The Company has gross unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $1,313,000 at June 30, 2021. It recognized accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the condensed consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $445,000 in accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. Included in the income tax expense (benefit) for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, are approximately $51,000 and $43,000 of interest and penalties on the Company's uncertain tax positions. Included in the income tax expense (benefit) for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, are approximately $99,000 and $86,000 of interest and penalties on the Company's uncertain tax positions.If the Company were to prevail on all uncertain tax positions, the resulting impact will be material as the Company will recognize approximately $1,758,000 of income tax benefits in the consolidated statement of operations. It is expected that all of the uncertain tax positions should be resolved by October 2022.

It believes that such claims are adequately covered by insurance; however, in the case of one of the Company’s carriers, the Company is in a dispute regarding the total level of coverage available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the opinion of management, the Company has meritorious defenses, and such claims are not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a material, adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. However, in the event that damages exceed the aggregate coverage limits of the Company’s policies or if its insurance carriers disclaim coverage, management believes it is possible that costs associated with these claims could have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company accrues a liability in its consolidated financial statements for these actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is recorded. If a loss is reasonably possible, but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. In most cases, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded, actual results may differ from these estimates. Purchase Commitments At June 30, 2021, the Company had purchase commitments totaling approximately $2.3 million, substantially all of which is expected to be purchased within the next six months.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
GEOGRAPHIC AND SEGMENT INFORMATION	GEOGRAPHIC AND SEGMENT INFORMATION Operating segments are aggregated into reportable segments only if they exhibit similar economic characteristics. In addition to similar economic characteristics, the Company also considers the following factors in determining the reportable segments: the nature of business activities, the management structure directly accountable to its chief operating decision maker for operating and administrative activities, availability of discrete financial information and information presented to the Board of Directors and investors. Asset information is not reviewed by the chief operating decision maker by segment and is not available by segment, accordingly, the Company has not presented a measure of assets by segment. The Company's reportable segments are disclosed as principally organized and managed as two operating segments: Advanced Energy and OEM. "Corporate & Other" includes certain unallocated corporate and administrative costs which were not specifically attributed to any reportable segment. The OEM segment is primarily development and manufacturing contract and product driven, all related expenses are recorded as cost of sales, therefore no segment specific operating expenses are incurred. Summarized financial information with respect to reportable segments is as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 (In thousands) Advanced Energy OEM Corporate & Other Total Sales $ 9,978 $ 1,246 $ — $ 11,224 Income (loss) from operations 326 263 (4,632) (4,043) Interest income — — 4 4 Interest expense — — (2) (2) Other income, net — — 97 97 Income tax expense — — 107 107 Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 (In thousands) Advanced Energy OEM Corporate & Other Total Sales $ 2,867 $ 1,429 $ — $ 4,296 Income (loss) from operations (3,292) 584 (3,459) (6,167) Interest income — — 7 7 Interest expense — — (8) (8) Other loss, net — — (14) (14) Income tax benefit — — (1,492) (1,492) Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 (In thousands) Advanced Energy OEM Corporate & Other Total Sales $ 17,638 $ 2,224 $ — $ 19,862 Income (loss) from operations (276) 260 (8,772) (8,788) Interest income — — 7 7 Interest expense — — (6) (6) Other income, net — — 4 4 Income tax expense — — 173 173 Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 (In thousands) Advanced Energy OEM Corporate & Other Total Sales $ 6,853 $ 2,440 $ — $ 9,293 Income (loss) from operations (7,276) 831 (7,214) (13,659) Interest income — — 223 223 Interest expense — — (14) (14) Other income, net — — 412 412 Income tax benefit — — (6,397) (6,397) International sales represented approximately 34.2% and 34.8% of total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as compared with approximately 21.0% and 24.6% of total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Reclassifications	Reclassifications We have reclassified certain amounts presented in the prior year to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net income, retained earnings or operating cash flows for the periods presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). The update changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, contract assets, held-to-maturity debt securities and loans, and requires entities to use a new forward-looking expected loss model that will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. This update, as originally issued, was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) Effective Dates , which deferred the effective dates of these standards for Smaller Reporting Companies until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company currently expects to continue to qualify as a Smaller Reporting Company, based upon the current SEC definition, and as a result, will be utilizing the deferred elective date. While we are in the process of determining the effects of the adoption of the standard on the consolidated financial statements, we do not expect the impact to be material. No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had or is expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
Inventories	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable values. Cost is determined on a first in, first out basis. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories include material, labor and overhead costs. Factory overhead costs are primarily allocated to inventory manufactured in-house based upon direct labor hours.
Share based compensation	Under the Company's stock option plans, the board of directors may grant restricted stock and options to purchase common shares to the Company's employees, officers, directors and consultants. The Company accounts for stock options in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation , with stock-based compensation expense recognized over the vesting period based on the fair value on the grant date utilizing the Black Scholes model, which includes a number of estimates that affect the grant date fair value and the amount of expense to recognize.
