Can I Epilate After IPL?

I have had 5 treatments of IPL on my legs and bikini line. I am to have a 6th session but not for another 3/4 months (doctor is on holiday). I wanted to know if in the meantime I can go back to epilating? Also, I am confused with how long after a treatment I should wait before sun exposure? I have had no irritation or bother at all dring my treatment.
