It seems IPL is not safe for ethnic/darker skin, unless your skin is on the really fair side, but even then you have to be very careful - right? IPL can burn even Caucasian skin. In any event I would not do any laser treatment to the skin more than once every 6 weeks based on my research, more is not always better. Also I would never do two laser procedures in the same day/back to back.
