**Most Caucasians are usually skin types I, II, or III.
***Skin types IV, V, and VI may require more laser treatments because
lower fluences (lower power settings on the laser) are usually needed
to protect the skins pigment in these skin types, and in some circumstances,
these darker skin types may simply not be treatable by laser or various
pulsed light treatments.
