AB Skin  type  classifications  are  not  only  important  in  patient  evaluation  and  treatment,  but  also  play  a  key  role  in  the  assessment  of  patients  in  clinical  trials.  Some  classifications  such  as  Fitzpatrick  skin  phototyping  are  mostly  used  for  treatment  plans  and  response.  Others,  on  the  other  hand,  are  primarily  used  in  clinical  studies  to  assess  the  severity  of  the  cosmetic  disorder  and  evaluate  and  follow-up  the  treatment  response.  In  order  to  understand  and  assess  the  treatment  response,  physicians  greatly  benefit  from  the  use  of  structural  measurement  scales.  Both  types  of  classifications  will  be  discussed  in  this  chapter.
