Can I do IPL sessions while on spironolactone?

Frimoussee
Hi ! I suffer from an idiopathic hirsutism and I am on spironolactone 100mg/day. I was offered an IPL machine (philips). I would love to get rid of my hair, but is it safe with this medication ? Is it okay if I stop taking spiro for a week everytime I have an IPL session ? Thank you so much !!
