Skin Types and Body Areas Treated

Smooth Skin for All

Laser hair removal treatments start with identifying your personal skin type using the Fitzpatrick Scale. The Fitzpatrick Scale is a method of skin typing that measures the tolerance of different skin types to the sun's rays. This helps to adjust the laser to your skin's tolerances to remove unwanted hair safely and successfully.

Next, your skin color will be determined using the ChromoTester, which tests melanin levels. These two measurement tools help provide the safest, most effective treatment for each client's specific skin tone.

Using your skin type and color, the exact laser hair treatment needed will be determined.

Fitzpatrick Scale

1. Very fair, "transparent"; always burns, never tans
2. Fair; always burns, tans minimally
3. Fair to light olive; sometimes burns, tans gradually
4. Olive to brown; rarely burns, tans easily
5. Dark brown; very rarely burns, tans very easily
6. Black; never burns, always tans

Smooth Skin, Now Available in Every Color

In the past, laser hair removal was not as effective for those with darker skin tones. If you have darker skin, you may have been turned away for laser hair removal treatment, or you may have received treatment that wasn't very effective.

Dark or very light skin tones are no challenge for the Cynosure Elite™ Laser, which was voted the #1 laser for all skin types by Aesthetic Trends & Technologies. Indigo MedSpa is the only medical spa in Grand Rapids to use the Cynosure Elite™ Laser, a gentle, effective, and safe laser that can be used on all skin types, from fair to dark.
