Can I get laser hair removal on face done after/during laser resurfacing?

DMB112
I'm getting face laser resurfacing done to address poor skin texture, acne scars and acne marks. I have hair growing on my cheek, on the sides of my eyebrows (temples). I want to go in for YAG laser hair removal (or whatever is safest). I have dark, thick hair and I'm skin type 4 (male). I'm getting Palomar Starlux platform 1540nm laser resurfacing done. How soon should I wait? Is it preferable to get one done before the other? Will YAG ruin the improvements of the 1540?
