Would it be safe to mix (alternate) IPL hair removal and laser hair removal? I would much appreciate some help with this

Asked By:jojobrown in New York, NY

I have an at home IPL hair removal device (Philips Lumea Precision) and I use it on my whole bikini area, underarms and legs. Because I can't reach all the areas of my bikini area properly, and because I read that laser is more effective than IPL, I recently bought a salon laser hair removal package. My question is, would it be safe to continue using my IPL device on my bikini area in-between laser treatments? Leaving a gap of 2/3 wks between each alternating treatment? Many thanks!!
