Fitzpatrick Skin Typing and Aging Analysis DVD

The DVD discusses, in detail, the Fitzpatrick Skin Typing System developed by Dr. Thomas Fitzpatrick. The Fitzpatrick system requires asking each client questions concerning skin color, unaltered eye and hair color, ethnicity and response to ultra violet light without skin protection.

Using the answers to the questions, Fitzpatrick lists six types of skin, Types I, II, III, IV, V and VI.

These cover a variety of ethnic considerations and skin color, eye and hair color and sun reactions ranging from always burn and freckle to tan, never burn and never freckle, and everything in between.

Also covered in detail are the two primary aging analysis systems, the Rubin Classification of Aging Analysis, and the Glogau Classification System.

The Glogau Classification system measures the degree and amount of photo damage, assigning a numerical designation, whereas the Rubin system uses only the aging that is directly connected to photo damage or sun exposure.

Self-scoring quizzes are presented at appropriate parts of the program for immediate feedback on learning progress and retention.
