It is doable and is well tolerated with the candela gentlelase with cryogenic. I have treated many religious Jewish women who wear wigs and need their hairline raised .Expect 4-6 sessions at least one month apart preferably if possible 8 weeks apart.

Hello, Yes, it is safe to do laser hair removal in this area.  Because the tissue is thinner on forehead and closer to the bone, it can be hotter than other areas due to the bone absorbing some of the heat.  Most importantly is that the correct wave length is used for your skin type.  I will be a series of treatments.Good Luck
