후 of -(으)ㄴ 후(에) is Sino-Korean word 後.
-고 나서 is pure Korean word
-(으)ㄴ 후(에) is more commonly used literally
-고 나서 is more commonly used colloquially

"고 나서 and (ㅡ)ㄴ 후에"
세수하고 나서 아침을 먹습니다.
세수한 후에 아침을 먹습니다.
The two sentences are about the same.
~한 후에, ~한 다음에 (다음 = next), ~고 나서 all mean "after doing (something)".
In real life, we would just say 세수하고 아침을 먹습니다 for this simple case, which means about the same thing.
Verb+고 implies a sequence of actions like English "and", and is widely used for this.
The other expressions emphasize this sequence aspect( "after doing something") more.
