Is IPL Laser Hair Removal with Metal Screws in Knee Safe?

karambole
I'm wondering if it would be safe for me to receive IPL laser hair removal treatment on my leg (knee area) if I have had an ACL reconstruction and suspect I have metal screws around my knee? Will it caused some sort of burn/disconfort? Thanks!
