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.
It is safe to do as Dr. Jenks said. Eye shields are very important and the area between the eyebrows are the most important in terms of eye protection. Also, there have been some reports of patients wanting their baby fine hair along their hairline back after hair removal because it looks like a wig. So, be smart about it!
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.
Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment in the hair. If the hair is white, blonde or silver it will not work. Your only option for permanent removal is electrolysis.
I am not familiar with that laser. We use our Sciton 1064 Laser for hair reduction in darker skin individuals. It has not given us any hyper pigmentation problems. Perhaps you should seek out a Sciton owner in your locale for further treatments. We use Hydroquinone...
Laser hair removal will only reduce the hair. Dark bumps can be improved with a combination of lasers, Aerolase, microneedling/prp, skin lightening, peels, and skin care. Sun protection is essential. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
