Determining the Patient’s Skin Type
To evaluate patient’s skin type, use the Fitzpatrick Skin Type
Classification scale found below. Take into consideration whether
or not the patient heals darker in the area of an injury or scratch or
whether they have a history of keloids or hypertrophic scarring.
This can reveal a potential for pigmentary changes.
Also, keep in mind that the patient's skin tone may appear darker
during the summer when there is greater sun exposure. If there is
any doubt regarding actual skin photo type, always treat the
patient according to the higher option. For example, if there is a
question as to whether a patient is skin Type III or IV treat them
as a Type IV and set the energy level to the appropriate level for
the application you are using. Then gradually increase energy
levels as necessary.
FITZPATRICK SKIN TYPE CLASSIFICATION
I Always burns, never tans
II Always burns, tans less than average
III Sometimes burns, tans average
IV Rarely burns, tans with ease
V Moderately pigmented, always tans
VI Deeply pigmented, never burns
