Hi there,
I've been using RLT for a while with great results. I and am due for IPL in a few weeks. Just wondered if people were stopping RLT around the time of IPL or carrying on????

any experiences or ideas would be welcome

i can't speak for myself but from my knowledge I would definately continue with RLT throughout IPL sessions.

Yeah--RLT use, the day of (say, that evening) and a regular schedule of RLT in the following days only seems to speed recovery from laser treatments.

I've only found positive results. I'm guessing because of its anti-inflammatory action so you're less red and prone to flushing in your laser recovery period.

Haven't experienced any negative results (especially given I've had some horrible post-laser periods before RLT. I pretty much know what that feels like. ;) )
