PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents that we have filed with the SEC (File No. 0-51481) are incorporated by reference into this registration statement:
·
|
Our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 filed on March 13, 2017; and
|
·
|
The description of our common stock contained in our registration statement on Form 8-A, filed with the SEC on August 8, 2005, and any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such description.
|
All documents that we file pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, after the date of this registration statement and until the offering under this registration statement is completed will be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this registration statement and will be a part of this registration statement from the date of the filing of the document. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference into this registration statement will be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this registration statement to the extent that a statement contained in this registration statement or in any other subsequently filed document that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference into this registration statement conflicts with, negates, modifies or supersedes that statement. Any statement that is modified or superseded will not constitute a part of this registration statement, except as modified or superseded.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
No answer to this item is required because the class of securities to which this registration statement relates is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes provisions that eliminate, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), the personal liability of our directors to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Our amended and restated bylaws require us to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Pursuant to these provisions, we have entered into indemnity agreements with our directors and officers.
Pursuant to Section 145 of the DGCL, a corporation generally has the power to indemnify its present and former directors, officers, employees and agents against expenses incurred by them in connection with any suit to which they are, or are threatened to be made, a party by reason of their serving in such positions so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner that they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.
These provisions do not eliminate the duty of care, and in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies, such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief, may remain available under Delaware law. Each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions under Section 174 of the DGCL or for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. These provisions also generally do not affect a director's responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Not applicable.

Item 9. Undertakings.
We hereby undertake:
(a) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
(b) that for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
(c) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
We hereby further undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of our annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
We hereby further undertake that, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by any of our directors, officers or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc. (the "Company")
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement")
STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan")
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of a Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale by the Company of up to 10,565,648 shares (the "Shares") of common stock, $.001 par value, of the Company, issuable under the Plan.
As counsel to the Company, we have examined the proceedings taken by the Company in connection with the adoption of the Plan and the authorization of the issuance of the Shares. For the purpose of the opinion rendered below, we have assumed that, in connection with the issuance of the Shares, the Company will receive consideration in an amount not less than the aggregate par value of the Shares covered by each such issuance.
For purposes of rendering this opinion, we have examined originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of:
a. The Plan;
b. Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended;
c. Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company; and
d. Resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company.
We have also examined such other certificates of public officials, such certificates of officers of the Company and such other records, agreements, documents and instruments as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereafter set forth.
In such examination, we have assumed: (i) the genuineness of all signatures, (ii) the legal capacity of all natural persons, (iii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iv) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or other copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents and (v) that all records and other information made available to us by the Company on which we have relied are complete in all material respects. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied solely upon the above-referenced certificates or comparable documents, have not performed or had performed any independent research of public records and have assumed that certificates of or other comparable documents from public officials dated prior to the date hereof remain accurate as of the date hereof.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the issuance of the Shares pursuant to the terms of the Plan, against receipt by the Company of the consideration for the Shares in accordance with the Plan, will result in the Shares being legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
The foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Delaware, and we do not express any opinion herein concerning any other law.
The opinion expressed herein is rendered as of the date hereof and is based on existing law, which is subject to change. Where our opinion expressed herein refers to events to occur at a future date, we have assumed that there will have been no changes in the relevant law or facts between the date hereof and such future date. We do not undertake to advise you of any changes in the opinion expressed herein from matters that may hereafter arise or be brought to our attention or to revise or supplement such opinion should the present laws of any jurisdiction be changed by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise.
Our opinion expressed herein is limited to the matters expressly stated herein, and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated.
We hereby consent to the use of this letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to any and all references to our firm in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do
