Bougainvillea - can I heavy prune now?

I have an almost one-year-old Bougainvillea planted in the ground in Southern Florida Zone 10. It got attacked by caterpillars and within two days became almost completely defoliated. I believe I have got rid of the caterpillars, but the plant is unsightly and almost bare. Should I heavy prune it now, or wait until spring?
