Thank you for your question. I suggest that you move forward and consult with your board certified facial plastic surgeon.

I usually recommend coloring the hair after 2-3 weeks following a laser treatment.  It really depends on how aggressive and deep the laser is -- the deeper the laser, the longer I would wait to color the hair!  The most important element to this is the type of laser and your doctor's recommendation.Best of luck!

Thanks for your question! Some hair dyes can irritate the skin without having had any resurfacing done. I would consider waiting 4-6 weeks after treatment, if your laser treatment was ablative. If not, 2 weeks should be sufficient enough time for healing. Best of luck!

I would probably wait until the skin fully heals over (all crusting is gone). I don't believe that it is necessary to wait until all the redness resolves.  Enjoy your refreshed skin and hair!
