Have you ever wondered about getting a laser treatment on your face to repair sun damage and get rid of those brown spots?

Well I’ve found out that yes, you can repair sun damage pretty successfully. I’m not talking about the many creams on the market that claim to fade them (or the many brands who got lots of my money because I believed their claims). I’m talking about Fraxel laser treatment.

After years of trying various face-creams, I finally decided to go to a Vancouver dermatologist and ask about getting my facial sun damage repaired. I found Dr. Jason Rivers, who’s a specialist in this kind of thing. I had an initial appointment with him, got all my questions answered, saw some example before and after photos, and booked my treatment.

I’ve documented the treatment and my 6 weeks of healing since then. Below are my before-n-after photos. If you want to read my description of the process and view all my in-progress photos, including bigger versions of these below, click here to read my longer blog post.

I remember seeing them all the time when I lived on the prairies. Last night at sunset there was a huge rainbow-colored sundog:

Sunshine comes and stays. Camera comes out. Nothing much to shoot on the deck, but I do find that everything out there creates an interesting pattern. Well, ok, just any excuse to snap a photo.
