Treating Skin Of Color

Treatments that Transcend the “Status Quo” in the Medical Aesthetics Industry

Not All Medical Spas are Created Equal for Skin Of Color

For years, the medical aesthetics industry has missed the mark on treating Skin of Color, and there is still a lot of ground to be covered in fully understanding the way skin of color responds to certain treatments.

At The Stella Med Spa, we are laser-focused (pun intended) on creating the standard of treating Skin of Color in the medical aesthetics industry.

We only utilize treatments and devices that are inclusive and have been tested on all skin types. Our treatment protocols have also been designed to treat all skin types, so your personalization options are endless, and results get delivered.

What is Fitzpatrick Skin Typing?

The Fitzpatrick scale (also Fitzpatrick skin typing test; or Fitzpatrick phototyping scale) is a numerical classification schema for human skin color. It was developed in 1975 by Thomas B. Fitzpatrick to estimate the response of different types of skin to ultraviolet (UV) light.

In medical aesthetics, we use this scale to help us develop the right treatment plan and parameters on our laser/light devices to yield optimum results while minimizing the side-effects for higher Fitzpatrick skin types (skin of color).

What is post‑inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)?

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or PIH happens in higher Fitzpatrick skin types when inflammation is induced either from a wound, sunburn, acne breakout, or other factors that force the skin into a reactive inflammatory state. Due to the inflammation, the pigment (melanin) in the skin becomes over productive and results in darkening of the affected area. We utilize our non-invasive technologies and treatments to help reduce the appearance of PIH thus, resulting in brighter, more radiant-looking skin.
