You Can't Pluck Before IPL, but Can You Pluck Straight After?Will It Undermine Treatment?

Anothername
I am considering IPL on my face. Will plucking the hairs immediately after the treatment undermine the effect? I knowing IPL can initially encourage growth and after being unable to pluck for a few weeks I would want to remove the hair asap. Obviously I don't want to shave my face!
