Last week my dermatologist determined that it was time to take a 3 month break from my xtrac laser treatments to keep me in the safe zone against the risk of skin cancer (wouldn’t it be nice if our body had the ability to protect us from sun over-exposure?).  Not only is this a great precaution, it’s also going to give us an opportunity to see: a) if my skin cells will be able to stimulate re-pigmentation on its own, and b) if my skin will retain all of the new pigmentation i’ve gotten from the laser treatments.

We took detailed photos of the areas treated so we will have a baseline to use when i return.
