 In 1975, Thomas B. Fitzpatrick, MD, PhD, of Harvard Medical School, developed a classification system for skin typing. This scale classifies a person's complexion and overall tolerance to sun exposure in terms of the degree of burning and tanning the individual experienced. For successful removal of hair, wrinkles, veins, sun spots, and scars using LASER technology, it is necessary determine your correct skin type. TYPE I: Highly sensitive, always burns, never tans. TYPE II: Very sun sensitive, burns easily, tans minimally. TYPE III: Sun sensitive skin, sometimes burns, slowly tans to light brown. TYPE IV: Minimally sun sensitive, burns minimally, always tans to moderate brown. TYPE V: Sun-insensitive skin, rarely burns, tans well. TYPE VI: Sun-insensitive, never burns, deeply pigmented.
