Depilatorie cream or not??? I have a IPL appointment next week

Can one use depilatorie cream instead of shaving before treatment? I have asked this before, but I hope someone has a more definite answer.
I have also asked my practitoner, she said I must shave and not use cream because the cream effects the hair roots and thereby the treatment. But that does not sound logicall. The cream only resolves the hair above the surface and you can clearly se black hairs in the skinn (stubble) afterwards.

No. Some of it can seep down to the roots and cause you problems. I would not do it.
