How safe is laser hair removal from forehead? Hair density is around 50/cm2.

Question

Is there any risk of brain damage or cancer ?

Joseph J. Castellano, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question. When performed by a trained, experienced professional, laser hair removal on your forehead can be very safe and effective. You will be given an eye shield to wear during the procedure to keep your eyes protected. However, there is no evidence of an increased risk for brain damage or cancer due to laser hair removal on the face. Just make sure you go to a cosmetic surgeon's office or accredited medical spa for your procedure.

Thank you for your question.  Laser hair removal is quite safe on any part of the body.  Treating the forehead will not cause cancer or any sort of brain damage.  However, eye shields should always be worn during any laser treatment in order to prevent damage to the eyes.I recommend only receiving laser treatments from a facility that has a physician supervising.
