How long after laser hair removal should I wait to get CO2 laser resurfacing?

Question

I am currently doing laser hair removal on my face and want to get CO2 laser resurfacing on my full face. Can I do both on the same day? Or how long after laser hair removal should I wait to do the CO2 treatment? Will the CO2 laser treatment have any effect on my hair?

Hello littlepepper,

Thank you for your question. It's generally recommended to wait at least 4 to 6 weeks after laser hair removal before undergoing CO2 laser resurfacing. This allows your skin to heal and reduces the risk of irritation or complications. However, the exact timing can vary based on individual skin types and the specifics of the treatments. It's best to consult with your dermatologist or skincare professional to get personalized advice based on your situation.
