About this masterclass

Most laser burns, pigmentation problems and poor results trace back to one thing: inaccurate skin typing. This 12-minute masterclass takes Fitzpatrick beyond a number in a box. You'll learn the difference between constitutive and facultative skin colour, the four common typing mistakes, the four questions to ask at every consultation, and how tans, pigment history and medication affect treatment. Then we cover what skin type should change in practice: wavelength, energy settings, patch testing and record keeping, with three real-world cases. Finish with a short quiz and download your certificate of completion. Suitable for laser and IPL technicians at any stage, and for clinics training their teams. This is a knowledge course with a certificate of completion, not a formal qualification.
