Why Knowing Your Fitzpatrick Type Matters
Helps dermatologists and medspas personalize treatments (e.g., laser intensity, peel strength).
Guides daily skincare and SPF recommendations.
Reduces risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and sun damage.
Improves treatment safety for all ethnicities and tones.
As The Skin Cancer Foundation explains, your skin type - ranging from I (very high sensitivity) to VI (deeply pigmented) - is a key factor in assessing UV exposure risk.
At Fix Studios, every treatment plan begins with understanding your skin’s biology. The Fitzpatrick classification ensures safety and efficacy in all aesthetic and laser services.
If you’re considering skincare or laser treatments, bring your Fitzpatrick result to your next consultation for tailored recommendations.
