Would it be okay to reverting back to plucking/waxing after 6 plus sessions of IPL?

After my about 6 sessions, many of hairs have gotten small and fine, but there still those few strands that haven't changed much. Would it be okay to just pluck those? Would it reverse the effect of the IPL for those strands? And if I was to wax the whole area, would it reverse the effect of the IPL on the whole area? Or is the only way to maintain after IPL sessions is to shave?
