What Could IPL Hair Removal Do to Recently Tanned Skin?

deeh in rio
I was on vacation a couple of weeks ago and I tanned plenty. Now I'm back and I haven't been exposed to much sun light for these past two weeks, but I'm still pretty tanned and I've got an IPL hair removal session in 3 weeks, what will happen to my skin if these weeks weren't enough for my tan to fade?
