I'm having an IPL hair removal on my face. Can I shave every day after every treatment?

Asked By:LizaRival in Georgia, GA

Hello, a few days ago I left a question about having ipl treatment on my face and was wondering if I could shave everyday after treatments, but I did not mean an ipl treatment for redness or acne, I meant having ipl hair removal. So as far as I know, people who get hair removal don't shave for at least a week after treatments in order for the hair to fall out, but I always have places to go and it's hard for me not to shave, so what will happen if I keep shaving every day after every treatment?
