Re:  Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on Form S-1 to Form S-3 Registration Statement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing by the Company of Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on Form S-1 (the “Amendment”) to Form S-3 Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  The prospectus contained in the Amendment to the Registration Statement relates to an aggregate of 14,943,792 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) that were previously purchased in a private placement on May 29, 2018 pursuant to separate securities purchase agreements dated as of March 30, 2018 with the Company and the subscribers identified therein.
 
This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S‑K under the Securities Act.  In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion, including, without limitation, the following:
 
1.
 
the fifth amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Company as certified by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware;
 
2.
 
the fourth amended and restated bylaws of the Company, dated January 5, 2016;
 
3.
 
the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Board Meeting Minutes relating to the authorization and issuance of the Shares by the Company;
 
4.
 
the Amendment and the Registration Statement, including all exhibits thereto; and
 
5.
 
the Securities Purchase Agreements for the purchase of the Shares, dated as of March 30, 2018, by and among the Company and the purchasers identified on the signature pages thereto (collectively, the “Securities Purchase Agreements”).
