I shave my forehead to give my hair line the shape I want . It kind if makes my forged look bigger and wider which I don't like but I like the shape of my hair line after I shave around it. I want to do a laser treatment to remove the hair and shape my hair line . I also noticed that the hair in front of my head and forehead got thinner and I was thinking of going have transplant in a few years to grow it back. If I laser my hair line now and later I want to get a hair line transplant will it work ?

This can happen after laser hair removal, but will improve with more treatments. Keep in mind it will take a series. I typically have patients do every 4 weeks for the first 3 times and then every 4-6 weeks for 3 times after. See an expert in laser hair removal for best results. Best, Dr. Emer

Katie- thanks for your question. The YAG is a 1064nm wavelength and is best for darker skin types. From your description, you would benefit most from treatments with an ALEX (or Alexandrite) 755nm wavelength which is best for lighter skin types with dark hair.
You didn't...
Most people need multiple treatment and need right setting for their skin. If you think you have more hair ask to talk to supervising doctor. They might want to change setting. Paradoxical hair growth is seen more in middle eastern people but it is exremely rare. My guess is that you need more...
