    How do I determine my skin type? Why is that important for my laser hair removal treatments?
    Our qualified laser hair removal specialists can help you determine your skin type. Sona MedSpa uses the Fitzpatrick scale. The Fitzpatrick scale is a method of skin typing that measures and refers to different skin types' tolerance to the sun's burning rays.

    Fitzpatrick Scale
    Type Appearance Reaction to Sun Exposure
     I        Very fair, red or blonde, blue eyes, likely has freckles  Always burns, never tans
     II  Fair skinned, blue, green, or hazel eyes, blonde or red hair  Burns easily
     III  Very common skin type; fair with any eye or hair color  Sometimes burns tans gradually
     IV  Typical Mediterranean Caucasian skin; medium to heavy pigmentation  Rarely burns, always tans
     V  Mideastern skin types, rarely sun sensitive  Tan
     VI  Black skin, rarely sun sensitive  Tans well


    Determining your skin type helps us calibrate our laser technology better to remove unwanted hair successfully and safely.

    Sona MedSpa also ensures client safety by utilizing a sophisticated form of technology called a Chromo tester. Chromo testing tests the melanin in the skin of each client. This ensures that we are providing you the most effective treatments at the safest levels for your skin tone.

    Some laser hair removal clinics or laser hair removal spa’s, will attempt to determine skin types, but only Sona MedSpa ensures client safety through chromo testing.
