Can I have any sun exposure on area treated with IPL hair removal?

sarasarajevo2017
I'm in the process of getting IPL hair removal on my bikini area. I'm wondering if it's ok to go to the beach (with a bikini) since part of the bikini area of the skin might be exposed to the suns rays. Also, how would the same situation relate to a tanning bed? (Just for curiosity)
