AB  - With  the  changing  demographics  in  many  parts  of  the  world,  an  increasing  proportion  of  patients  who  seek  aesthetic  services  have  come  from  a  diverse  ethnic  background.  Ethnic  skin  typically  falls  within  Fitzpatrick's  skin  phototypes  III–VI.  These  dark-skinned  patients  vary  considerably  in  their  response  to  sunlight,  sun  exposure,  photodamage,  and  photoaging  compared  to  the  Caucasians.  Therefore,  it  is  important  to  be  aware  of  the  special  needs  of  these  patients  with  ethnic  skin,  and  to  select  the  most  appropriate  lasers  and  light  sources  in  the  treatment  of  congenital  or  acquired  pigmentary  conditions.
