Unwanted laser hair removal on hairline. Will this return to normal or should I explore treatments? (Photo)

Question

I went to get another session of laser hair removal in 12/2023 and the lady said she could do between my eyebrows and above eyebrows. She then proceeded to go all the way up my hairline on the left side of my face and into my hair at the top of my head (left). I have some regrowth 6 months later but it is very fine and fluffy and does not look like the right side of my face. I'm so stressed. I have not gone back. Will the hair return to normal in time or should I explore treatments?

I would recommend trying out 2-5% topical minoxidil apply twice daily in the morning and before bedtime. In case the hair does not come back, a small session of hair transplant can fix the issue.

Depends on how much trauma the hair follicles has had if you don't see growth in 6 months time then I would pursue medical treatment and there options from topical minoxdil, low light laser therapy, biopsy to see if you have perifollicular inflammation that require steroid injection series, and could try also neutraceutical as well
