Fitzpatrick Skin Type Quiz

 Skin type is often categorized according to the Fitzpatrick scale which ranges from very fair (skin type I) to very dark (skin type VI). The two main factors that influence skin type and the treatment program devised by your technician are: genetic disposition and reaction to sun exposure and tanning beds.

The way your skin responds to sun exposure is another way of correctly assessing your skin type. Recent tanning, whether by the sun or an artificial tanning booth, even tanning creams, can have a major impact on your skin color evaluation.

By using the information you provided on this form, we can be better prepared to provide you with the best care.  Please fill out this questionnaire.
