How can I reduce my forehead non surgically? I am a 22 year old female.

Question

I have very full, straight, thick hair. Im asked daily if I'm wearing extensions bcuz my hair is so full. I was born w/ an average size forehead,but over my teenage years my hairline became very uneven (high on one side, low on the other). I tried to even it with laser hair removal,but it got worse bcuz it went too far back! Now I hate my forehead. I want my smaller one back & to get hair back along my temples. Money is tight, so any options non surgically on a budget?

Forehead reduction surgery or hair grafting transplant can both lower your hairline.  It would be in your interest to meet with a doctor for a consultation to explore your options based on your exam.

If you want to reduce your forehead, you have two options, a hair transplant or a hairline lowering procedure. I would suggest contacting a physician that specializes in these procedures to get advice about the pros and cons of each,

FUE hair transplant is an effective way to bring the hairline lower. It is a non-invasive procedure that allows the surgeon to bring your hairline lower with your own follicles from back and sides of the head.

Your options are limited unfortunately to surgical solutions. Hair grafting to rebuild the hairline or hairline advancement are both good options. They are a one time procedure so there is upfront cost but you don't need to worry about it again. Best wishes.

I'm afraind that there is no non surgical forehead reduction. You made some mistakes with the laser trying to manage your uneven hairline (which is not abnormal).  Ther are only two solutions, a hair transplant lowering procedure and a surgical lowering procedure, see below
