When it comes to laser tattoo removal, one size does not fit all—especially regarding skin types. Understanding the Fitzpatrick skin type is crucial for a safe and effective treatment. Here’s why it’s a cornerstone of our practice and how it helps us earn your trust.

The Fitzpatrick Skin Type Scale

The Fitzpatrick skin type scale is a classification system for skin color, which is essential for predicting your skin’s reaction to laser treatment. It ranges from Type I (very fair) to Type VI (very dark) and is determined by various factors, including genetic disposition and reaction to sun exposure.

Why It Matters

• Customized Settings: Different skin types react differently to lasers. By identifying your Fitzpatrick skin type, we can customize the laser settings to match your skin’s specific needs.
• Minimizing Risks: Properly adjusted settings for your skin type help minimize the risk of side effects like hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation.
• Maximizing Results: Using the right settings ensures that the laser targets the tattoo ink effectively without damaging the surrounding skin.
