Fitzpatrick Scale is a classification of skin color, used to select the appropriate aesthetic treatments and settings. Developed By Thomas B. Fitzpatrick, the scale is used to determine the amount of light that will be used for optimal treatment results. Skin color and the response to sun exposure are measured to classify skin types into 6 categories. These categories are important because too much heat or energy can damage the skin. Each skin type has specific parameters for each treatment. Dark and light skin tones react differently to heat and light exposure therefore requiring different settings, specifically for laser treatments.
