How long do you have to wait after being on long term steroids (prednisone) before getting fractional laser done?

I’ve been on prednisone (60mg to eventually 0) for 6 months from April to mid-October for my lupus nephritis which I am now off and managing with only plaquenine and Cellcept. My lupus is in remission. I developed very bad stretch marks on my arms, legs, and waist, and was wondering how long after prednisone treatment would I be able to get laser surgery?
