Balancing effective treatment and minimising skin damage is key for individuals with Skin Type III. Although this skin type has more melanin than fair skin, it still requires careful protection and a personalised treatment approach.
People with Skin Type III generally have:
While Skin Type III has more natural UV protection than Types I and II, it is still vulnerable to sunburn, pigmentation issues, and skin cancers, such as:
As such, this skin type needs to practise consistent sun protection and undergo regular skin screenings.

If you have Fitzpatrick Skin Type III, you can safely enjoy the benefits of most aesthetic treatments with the right precautions. A combination of UV protection, targeted skincare, and expert-guided treatments will help maintain youthful, healthy, and even-toned skin.
