How long after laser is it safe to become pregnant?

yayforscience
I am 34 years old and want to get laser (I'm not sure which one yet) to address the sun damage on my cheeks. I am considering having another baby but I know this is not safe to do while pregnant or breastfeeding. I don't really want to wait 2 or more years to have it done so is it safe to get pregnant shortly after having it? If it is safe, will pregnancy hormones mess with the results, rendering it a waste of money? Thanks in advance!
