I had IPL laser treatment for skin tightening and one week later had an enlarged submandibular gland/lymph node that after months of testing resulted in surgery to remove it. The lymph node/gland was abnormal, brown and hemmoragic. During this skin tightening treatment the tech. said to allow the laser to stay on the skin until I could not take the heat any longer. I did this because I trusted her. Now I wonder... I would not recommend this treatment to anyone with a history of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. I have been in remission for 11 years when this happened but obviously my lymph nodes were friable enough to have this happen. Good luck!
