Can I Have Laser Hair Removal Before a Hot Summer Holiday Which is in 2.5 Weeks Time?

Fiorentina
I'm off to the mediterrenean this summer in about 2 and half weeks and have been having a lot of hair issues due to medical conditions. I am aiming to remove the bikini area, upper and lower legs, and lower stomach area. I bought my Remington IPL laser last week and am sceptical about using it before I go away. Can i end up with hyperpigmentation when on holiday when getting a tan... I am olive skinned with very dark hair. Thanks.
