Will Minoxidil treatment negatively affect the results op IPL hair removal efforts?

Asked By:Carissa001 in South Africa, ZA

I was diagnosed with diffuse alopecia areata and I am on minoxidil treatment. I was put on loniten 5mg because my rate of hair loss was greater than the rate of regrowth when using the topical minoxidil. This however is affecting my whole body. Will IPL hair removal be effective while I am on the loniten or will it be best to consider older methods of hair removal?
