Hold off retinoid 4-5 days prior to IPL photofacial laser treatment

Tazorac is probably one of the most efficacious but also potentially irritating retinoid available. You should hold off Tazorac for at least 4-5 days prior to IPL photofacial laser treatment to minimize excessive post-op irritation. You probably can resume in 2-3 days afterwards.
