Understanding Fitzpatrick Skin Types in Elwood
The Fitzpatrick scale is a medical classification system that rates skin by how it responds to UV light. It ranges from Type I (very fair, always burns) to Type VI (very dark, never burns). It directly determines which laser settings, protocols and devices are safe and effective for your skin — and it is central to how NHB Endermologie personalises every treatment. Elwood’s predominantly Anglo-Celtic and Northern European community sits primarily in Fitzpatrick Types I and II — with some Mediterranean and South Asian residents in Types III–IV.
I
Very Fair
Always burns. Never tans. Red or blonde hair, blue eyes. Celtic, Irish, Northern European heritage. Most common in Elwood — highest risk of sun damage, vascular redness and UV ageing.
At NHB: Gentle laser rejuvenation, vascular treatment, preventative pigmentation correction
II
Fair
Usually burns. Tans lightly. Light hair, blue/green/hazel eyes. English, Australian, Western European heritage. Very common in Elwood — prone to freckles, age spots, broken capillaries and beach-related sun damage.
At NHB: Laser pigmentation, HIFU anti-ageing, RF Microneedling, body contouring
III
Medium
Sometimes burns. Always tans. Light to medium brown hair, any eye colour. Southern European, Latin, some Asian heritage. Present in Elwood’s European community — can develop melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
At NHB: Melasma and skin pigmentation laser, safe hair removal, HIFU
IV
Olive
Rarely burns. Tans easily. Olive to medium brown skin, dark eyes and hair. Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, South Asian, East Asian heritage. IPL carries pigmentation risk for this type — laser is essential.
At NHB: PICO laser melasma, Fotona Nd:YAG hair removal — IPL avoided
V
Brown
Very rarely burns. Tans deeply. Brown skin, dark eyes and hair. South Asian, African, some Latin heritage. High risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. IPL contraindicated. Medical-grade protocols essential.
At NHB: Calibrated PICO protocols, Nd:YAG hair removal — specialist care required

HIFU Skin Tightening
Fair Fitzpatrick I–II skin shows the signs of facial ageing earlier than darker skin types — collagen loss, skin laxity and fine lines. HIFU stimulates deep collagen production to lift and firm the face, neck and jaw non-surgically, with zero downtime. Popular with Elwood’s 35–55 professional community who invest in quality preventative anti-ageing care.

RF Microneedling
RF Microneedling targets the enlarged pores, texture irregularities and UV-related skin ageing that Elwood’s sun-exposed community experiences. Radiofrequency energy combined with precision microneedling depth rebuilds the collagen matrix — addressing the root cause of sun-related skin changes. Results progress over 3–6 sessions with minimal downtime.

DMK Enzyme Therapy
DMK Enzyme Therapy corrects the biological root causes of UV-related skin damage, dehydration and premature ageing in fair skin types. It works through the skin’s own enzyme processes — rebuilding health from within rather than addressing surface symptoms. An ideal skin investment for Elwood’s quality-conscious community who value natural, lasting results.
